Which of these scenarios would you be okay with and why? (or why not)

Asked by AK (1597points) June 18th, 2021

I watched a couple of videos from a youtuber, who makes travel videos. In the first video, he was walking and filming (in a third world country) and three kids ran upto him and pestered him to buy from them (some hairpins, dolls…little things). He was angry and even pushed one of them physically. People in the comments were seething mad too, at the insolence of the kids.
In the second video, the same youtuber is walking and filming (in a developed country) and he was accosted by a group of pretty girls, who hounded him to step into the bar/casino (each girl represented a different bar in the same locality). Literally hounded him but the youtuber wasn’t angry. He was ‘captivated by their cuteness, persistence and marketing skills and didn’t mind them luring him into a dubious bar, run by God knows who, in a shady locality…the comments section was also full of similar sentiments.
So, if you are the tourist, who would you indulge? The street hawkers (who maybe haven’t had a bath in a couple of months) or the super cute girl hustlers?
