I used to pay before, then a series of incidents especially with the colored folk who were my favorites started making excuses immediately after the donation was secured. One actually laughed at me as she stood by the door guiding me out. If you step into the man's shoes, you will realize it's not coz we wanna short u that we pay after, it's coz of all the lady scams in the industry. On the other side, the ladies also have run into guyz shorting them as well. Screening fixes both but a lady is best served if she takes it after rather than before.
