Possibly his ego is fuelled by giving to others.  Everyone is different.  It probably makes him feel happy.  Obviously if they don't give anything in return and show fake appreciation, then it's a bit false.  But if he enjoys it and views it as him taking care of some underprivileged people, then what's the harm?

 

Obviously, it would suck if they came over to him one day and he didn't get his wallet out and they immediately walked off and stopped paying attention to him.

 

It is possible that the act of giving brings him joy and he wants nothing in return, other than a thank you.

 

Some people even find joy in just making other people happy.  I think it all depends on how you're raised.

 

One problem is when someone like this encounters another person who is simply an unhappy person.  They can be quite upset seeing another person being happy and bringing joy to other people's lives.

he obviously is not a condascending prick and enjoys brightening their day..good on him.

there's a bloke I know who frequents the red light districts in a popular tourist destination. 

he goes by the name 'Fred'

though I'm pretty sure that isn't his real name.

I have met him about 4 times now,

he looks like he's in his early - mid 40's.

The girls always make a fuss over him whenever he is in the vicinity.

you can hear them at all the bars screaming and shouting his name.

'fred...' freddy, how are you!!!'

'awwww, freddy ma leaw'

they all make a real fuss over this character.

then I found out why...

 

He came and sat next to me on a stool and immediately bought every girl in the bar a drink.

then he offered to buy me one (which I declined)

then he bought all the girls something to eat.

he also bought 1 of the girls some medicine from the pharmacy.

he stayed about an hour and then left.

apparently he does this on average once a month.

He will come down to the red light district and buy any of the girls whatever they want.

 

what motivates people like Fred?

have you ever met any of these characters before?

he was a strange lad when I actually spoke to him,

a bit weird, but the girls absolutely adored him

apparently he carries a wad of cash in his pocket everytime and spends the lot.

 

he wasn't much of a looker but he did have a nice shirt on.

I haven't seen him for a few weeks now, but according to the girls in the bar he still does his monthly rounds..

he's like the monthly santa claus for the bar girls.

they wont hear a bad word said about him!

 

bob.

Deport him immediately, makes rest of us look like cheap skates 🤣

Good lord man, after 17 years on TV/AN you're as aware of the resident cheapy Charlies as I am, I'm not about to name and shame; though most are fairly shameless. 

 

As for 'Fred', whether real or a figment of Bob's imagination, good on him - why not spread a little happiness?

No I don't know, on this 'anonymous' forum folk can be what they want, I thought you had some juicy info, obviously not, oh well....🤭

Thank you for this heart warming story.🙏

I recall seeing a fellow on several YT channels who used to give away money to the girls in Patts. 

 

But he wasn't a geezer, he was Australian.

Is he a bloke or a geezer?

 

Same as you I think, frequents bars, shouts about how much money he has, "a bit weird" and obviously a great fan of all the ladies.

Just an other Fable from Khun Bob.

[xtrnuno41]

You "sleep" with a woman, you pay, it is a hooker

You "sleep" with a woman, paying some drinks, it is a slut

You surely sleep with a woman, you pay all, it is your wife. 

 

You had the opportunity to ask Fred, why he did it.

He offered you something to drink and sat down beside you. So why you rejected?

Missed opportunity. You are intrigued, but rather drink alone. 

Nowadays it is easy to meet someone with a gun in his hand, maybe Joe after shooting his lady down,

after she was messing all over town.

People like that are motivated by their own ego. When they 'make it rain' they don't care about those receiving the money. They want to be the center of attention, feel the power and fame. Giving an anonymous donation would probably have no appeal to them. 

I used to be told of of "??il the till", a London lad with an endless supply of money who would do the same as Freddie but also pay everyone's bin while he was at it. No side to him, just the way he lived.
