I'll just give you a guys point of view.
If it were me, I would just tell the truth. No games.
I meet women all the time, who are into various cults, sects, MLM, Amway-Quixtar, religions, etc.
I pretty much just call it like I see it, while being polite.
As far as YOUR money and business, that is so easy its not funny.
What would you do if a vendor came to you with some crackpot id
