Many, many of these chicas are con artists. But as you get to know some of them, you begin to learn the decent ones that will only ask for help when they actually need it. But until you feel confident in knowing the truth, it is best to remain steadfast and refuse to help.
It seems to matter to you whether the story they tell you is true. How about the others, would you send money if you knew the story was true and she really needed it? I don't really care if it's true or not, I wouldn't send any money, honestly. As much as we want to believe it, these chicas aren't our friends. They only see us for our wallets. They wouldn't look twice at us if we weren't paying them, but when they "need" money (usually due to their own mismanagement or laziness), they immediately turn to us for "help" because they have learned that they can usually find a sucker that will send them money. If you think otherwise, you are fooling yourself. Ask one to spend a couple of hours with you for free and you'll get your answer. Yes, I'm sure somebody will have a story where the chica came over or didn't want money, blah blah blah. Yes, we've all heard those "stories" on this board. They are as believable as the sob stories chicas tell us to try to get money.
