What's wrong with being a sanky?? Really.

I'm the only one who actually did answer your question, but I guess you didn't like the answer and chose to ignore it.

Some people are made up of a different fiber than those who choose to scam for a living, but you don't seem to think so, so let me tell you a little story.
Back in the early 70's I was living in Vancouver, and I was desperate for money, no job, things looking bleak, and I met a dude my age who worked as a gigolo, and he wanted to mentor me into the biz.
Hard to believe that I was a good looking boy, at one time?
Well, I was.
6 Feet tall, muscular, sharp mind, good looking face, acted kool, all that stuff that the ladies like.
Anyhow, to make a long story short, I wouldn't do it.
Not in my nature.

So don't be so sure that everyone turns to scum in the face of adversity.
Some of us have morals, scruples, ethics and all that stuff that sankies do not have.

Marco--I think you're taking some of my questioning out of context. I saw your answer-No you wouldn't do it--but in my second posting I tried to make an anology to what might be similar "sankism" in a different culture.
I too have worked legit for many years to EARN every cent I have and continue to work today although from a money angle don't have too.

I never said I would do it or condone it. My question was and still is--
Under similar circumstances--Would one do it? I am clear on your answer and I'm sure you know my answer but I am still curious on how some other people would react if give the "opportunity" the sankies are faced with.

Late for golf-talk later in the day.

I got the picture, but anyone admitting that they would, is tantamount to saying they have no ethics and morals.
Who's going to want to admit that on the www?

Happy golfing, John.
Remember to only play with your own balls.
Never touch anyone else's balls.
If you do accidentally touch someone else's balls and you notice that your putter is standing on end all by itself, then you have just discovered that you're gay, not that there's anything wrong with that.

There is a difference between a gigolo and a sankie. A sankie is creating the illusion of a real loving relationship, and conning the woman out of money in the process. As with female prostitutes, with a gigolo the transaction is more transparent, even though part of the deal may involve acting out a genuine relationship.

True, but that was the term used in those days in that part of the world, and I can't say that I remember how low he would stoop, but there certainly was some scamming involved.
PS: They hadn't invented the word "sanky" yet.
That was a product of the 80's.

It's not always presented in black & white.There are many layers of grey in between which adds to the level of deception, whether it be a male or female working the Gringa(o). You also don't hear about the guys as often, they just chalk it up to, oh well she was a "puta" and took me and move on. For some reason there is and always be a double standard in this game.

You do not have to be a scam artist to be a puta, but you do have to be one, to be a sanky.
Huge difference.

It's not always a BLACK AND WHITE issue!
What about the "novia" whose Grandmother has died 3 times over a year, and requires a Western Union infusion for each funeral?
Is she a puta, novia, or a sankette?

She is a puta scam artist.
Sankiette may be the appropriate term, although I'm not familiar enough with the usage of the word.

That's a sankiette/scam artist.

A puta is a simple extra of money for sex and most men know ahead of time what they are getting therefore the sob stories may not work.

The real meaning of a sankie/sankiette used in these discussions means someone that works very hard in making a victim believe they are in love with them in order to better their life in any way possible.

It's not an all Dominican people thing nor an all resort worker thing, they are people that decide that instead of sending out 5 million emails a day to get money out of some African bank account they choose to play on naive people's hearts and emotions by making them fall in love.
