I think it comes down to this and I practice this every time I travel, the same way you are being sized down by a local, you gotta size the locals down and recognize who’s trying to mark you and let them know YOU KNOW....once they see your awareness they will legit not waste their time.
One time I went to DR with my boys, I warned them of panhandlers and dudes that will cling on to you if you even smirk their way or nod your head...I told them, the second one of these cats approaches, flat out tell them to leave ya alone RUDELY....is the only thing that works....they however couldn’t grasp the concept and one of my boys legit had to give up his fitted to some kid that wouldn’t leave him alooooneee hassling him and had clinged on to him...so I guess technically he was robbed, these dudes take up your personal space and won’t leave you alone and you usually end up either giving them cash to leave you alone or an item of clothing...lmao THATS the type of robbery youll encounter if you don’t know how to move and repel these cats.
In Cartagena I didn’t practice this once and had this guy selling cheap little bracelets follow me and my wife every ***** where with sob stories till I legit overpaid for some bs bracelet for this cat to simply leave us alone.
Agreed, sadly, u gotta get your Donald Trump on so they leave u alone.
