What would you do if you saw a beautiful woman crying?

  • I'm a woman.

  • Guy - Ask what's wrong and try to help. BECAUSE she is beautiful/sexy.

  • Guy - Ask what's wrong and try to help. BECAUSE I'd do it for anyone.

  • Guy - Don't do anything it's none of my business. AND I don't want to come across as shallow minded.

  • Guy - Don't do anything it's none of my business, PERIOD.

It would depend on my gut instinct, in that moment, as to whether I felt my trying to intervene would be an unwelcome intrusion or a kind assistance.

If I approached her at all, it would be lightly, softly, and include keeping an appropriate physical distance, and my words to her would be near whispered so that she could ignore me if she wished, and they would simply be, "Is there anything at all I can do to help you?"

But, OP, WTF did you have to make this person "a beautiful woman?" Do you have some lame fantasy of overcoming your social ineptness by capitalizing on someone else's transient misery? That kind of reeks. 🙁

As for me, I'd offer the same low key, respectful assistance for anyone -- old, young, male, female, good looking or not. I've never been able to completely ignore any stranger in need or distress, even at my personal peril, ever. I'm just not built that way.

And, yeah, I'm probably taking this jejune fantasy question far too seriously.

No not a personal fantasy. Let's face it "helping save the damsel in distress" is as old a male fantasy as time itself. I just wanted to see how altruistic and or cynical ATOT is. It certainly is sexist and probably creepy to help her out on behalf of your libido but I highly suspect many men would do just that and for that reason. I'm actually surprised at how altruistic ATOT seems to be, I'd have thought far more would be in the help them cause they are sexy category. Again this is NOT a personal fantasy at all.
 
I just don't give a fuck. I'd walk right on by.

I don't like crying people. I don't even like most people when they're not crying.

The only time I've purposely approach a crying stranger was when I saw a female soldier sobbing between a couple of b-huts in Afghanistan. I wanted to make sure she hadn't been raped or something, and ended up spending 2 hours listening to her talk about her relationship until I was pretty sure she wasn't going to shoot herself.

But some random person on the street? No way.

For what it's worth I would help a stranger that was physically injured or in danger. I guess I just don't consider emotional problems to be real problems. Probably because I'm a sociopath.

You might want to look into that to see if there isn't some truth there

This, if she was ugly, probably nothing...then again, maybe...depends on my feeling that day.

It's not even diagnosed in the Army anymore. They took all the "feelings towards other" related questions out of the post-deployment exams to make it a non-issue.
 
It would probably go something like this:

Me: Sorry to bother you but I have an important request. I notice you are crying and that you are using a tissue to wipe away your tears. I also notice that you have a purse there. Seeing how you likely got that tissue from your purse, it would lead me to believe that you have other like items in there such as change, makeup, etc. I just ate some spicy food and was wondering if I could have a stick of gum....orbitz, trident, big red.....anything will do I'm not super picky as long as it's not peppermint flavor. I'm not huge fan of peppermint in general. Thank you.

Nothing.

Fact: Beta male that comforts her will become emotional tampon. Alpha male that made her cry will get laid after she stops crying.

Punch alpha male in ballsack and watch him cry. Is that an option? I do love schadenfreude, especially if I can take someone down a peg. Two for the price of one. :thumbsup:
 
You cannot help a beautiful women when she is crying unless you have no intention of trying to make time with her. You should never react to a woman crying. You ignore them. It is their trump card they whip out whenever they loose an argument. The only time you can react to a woman crying is if she is actually injured, not emotionally, but physically.

It's an option. Then the alpha male retaliates, calls the police, has you arrested for sexual assault, and is given recovery sex by said crying woman.
 
OK. This did happen kind of recently. Was stuck in the psych ward for a week, so when it became a smaller circle, it was easier to bond with others.
Few minutes after this one girl told me about what she endured in childhood, she began crying. I grabbed the tissue, patted down her tears, and held her hand for a few minutes until she was done crying and it was time for another group.

The proper response in such a situation is to RUN!
