If something goes bad, he has nowhere to run off to, which up to now I'm sure he did on a regular basis. I doubt he stayed anywhere more than 3 months at a time.

He thought he was facing living without food or shelter. He would have at least TRIED to turn on the con-man charm. I don't buy for an instant that, as good a con man as he was, that he had no clue how to make a woman with a baby smile. I'd buy the episode if he tried that for a while until people saw through it. But to make it out that he is completely incapable of getting people to like him turns him into a thin caricature instead of a believable character.
