If a homeless individual can approach me in an honest, respectful manner, I'd be more inclined to help.

Crazy antisocial people often become homeless and are the visible side of it, but the vast majority of homeless people are not antisocial or crazy.

[ars_technician]

Without their genitalia exposed would be a start and preferably without spitting.
