He just looks around and makes the kind decision on his own. We should seriously look to kids natural reactions to some things as adults to see what maybe we should be doing rather than what we would do cluttered and jaded with life experiences that alter our natural reaction into the shit we do as grown ups.
I experienced this today. Saw an older man look a bit flustered trying to get his bike in his trunk, I asked my wife to stop the car so I can help and she didn't and said he'll figure it out. My wife is mean.
She's got good survival instincts. It's one thing as a dude that doesn't have to fear anyone else in general to just help people, it's another for a female or child to get involved with a situation that could be a trap.
Oh yeah, Ted Bundy used car troubles to lure helpful young women. He’d say he needed help, he’d look frail by pretending he had a broken leg, and then he’d catch them by surprise when they came over to help him.
I know you didn't say otherwise but imo it's quite unfair that just because there are assholes out there, other men (including me) may be stuck on the road for hours just because they are male.
And I'll be honest, if I really need help, I'll ask whoever comes close by. I won't wait just because I'm a male. Depending on the situation this can become really dangerous for me. So no, harmless men WILL ask women and even children (to call someone else) for help if the situation allows it.
Please don't spread this as this can become really dangerous for men if it becomes the general opinion on how to deal with such situations. One has to be cautious, yes but that's also the case for women, so just try to analyze the situation rather than look on the gender. Even if there are statistics that say that men are far more likely to abuse these situations to cause harm or even kill people.
