Are we being asked whether we personally help prettier girls more? If so, no, I'll help anyone who seems to need it (I always hold the door for people, for example)

In general, I think hotter women do get more help.

Are you trying to tell us that your girlfriend is super hot?

I'm more than happy to help anyone, male or female. Looks help in the case of girls, but they aren't a requisite. However, if the person in question is intentionally ungrateful/annoying/demeaning, my quality and duration of service will drop like a stone... to the point where I might make a few mistakes :D

I also recall a show where an attractive woman put on a fat suit and wouldn't get any help in a Harley Davidson shop, but when she was her normal self, she got basically 1st class treatment versus when she had on the fat suit.

Duh.

Ok, that is NOT true. It is amazing what pretty girls can get others to do. Some abuse that, others are grateful nonetheless.

I do not take advantage of people.... but when I ask for something at work, the store, wherever... I am always helped, most of the time without me asking first.

I don't know why she is saying that... It is true.

nah, you have a forum of 50,000 guys to say it.

Love, I am not seaching for compliemnts! :)


Look around next time you are at the store or mall... observe. It happens.

i didn't mean it as an insult. i was just joking around.

I voted no because you said workplace. In a corporate job, I don't think pretty women get any special treatment from guys.

In the real world, hell yes. But that was not the question.

Agreed....but the problem is when you help someone that's never gotten attention before, you're setting yourself up to have someone follow you around or stalk you. In contrast, pretty people don't care about you and won't want a relationship if you help them put groceries in their car....

I'm guessing you don't work in the corporate world.

It's true but I actively try to break the rule. Fuck it, I have never had someone give me a second look in my whole damn life and I am not going to inflate someone else's ego for the lulz of it.

Personally at work I tend to help people according to personality than looks. Though working in engineering it's not like there are too many girls around.

So the hot secretaries at corporations do not get treated better than the fat ugly ones, in your opinion?





(BTW, before ATOT flames me, I am not saying that it is right, but, sometimes the truth is not right.)

:thumbsup: Let's say the CEO had to bring an assistant with him for some reason his normal assistant was out for the day - I'm sure he's taking the hot sexy blonde over Rosie O'Donnell :p

And Lola...you get a little more "special" treatment than just everyday pretty girls cause your hair is blonde as well.

I mean, come on, us guys all know that if a pretty girl asks a straight guy for help, the guy will more than likely go out of his way to help our out if she asks for it.

Vote in the poll and bring my GF back to reality! :D

Let me guess: she is pretty and oblivious :) She did not notice everyone treats her nicer.

What if one of these girls says, "Oh, you did something nice for me, let's bone." On the off-chance of that ever happening, I will continue to be chivalrous.

Well done young Jedi...you've been paying attention at Dirty Old Man school! :D

I am much more willing to do anything which involves better eye candy. I am human. Human's like to look at pretty things. Duh.
