I would say for the most part it's true and I've done it as recently as tomorrow (I'm driving 30 total mins in the opposite direction of where I'm going to pick her up and then go to work) but I've also helped others as well.

For instance, it has been shown that street solicitors invariably get more male responses if the solicitor happens to be an attractive lady, as compared to males or less-attractive females soliciting the same material. (The Greenpeace, Signature-getting type solicitors...nto panhandlers :D)

Yeah, not a lot of hot homeless women...

...except, of course for Ms. ATOT!

I swear to GOD that should be more bannable as an offense than Rick fucking Rolling people! That's the third time I've seen it this week!!!

Come on - I could not have telegraphed that any more than I did.

You have no one to blame but yourself ;)

There is actually a Ms ATOT thread...however; all of the entries don't really post here.

I agree.. though I try to be really nice to everybody from the housekeepers and kitchen staff on up.. you can never tell when you need a favor:)

Hell yes. I've tried to train myself to fall for the little smile or boob thrust less, but it still gets me more easily on a hot girl.

This question has already been addressed by Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Corolla on an episode of the man show. I wish I could find a clip of it, but they send one girl out on the streets and she's able to get random strangers to do all sorts of ridiculous things. However, when they send Kimmel out on the streets in drag to accomplish the same things, men and women ignore/run away from him.
It was a classic and very informative moment in social science.

Here's the closest man show clip I can find.
(any help is appreciated)

I got yelled at just a few days ago by a girl because I didn't hold the door for her (she was about 5 seconds behind me, no way I'm waiting that long). She actually took time out of her day to tell me that I should have held the door for her.

Just today, I was on an elevator with a rather attractive girl. I was closest to the door, so I got off first. I could clearly tell she was offended that I didn't wait for her to get off. She gave me a very dirty look.

Again, I have to say, I go out of my way to be nice to everyone... even if they are not pleasant to me. Thank you and please are words seldom hear anymore and people expect others to cater to them.

Gotta say she's right on that one, I'm one hot guy and I've met Lolawiz 2x... both of us would rather talk to iamwiz82 :)P). I think one ATOT member last time we had a royal oak meet said she had tourettes due to her dirty mouth? Nightwulf I believe? I still made fun of her for drinking a tiny bottle of champange when there were numerous bottles of beer available for consumption. BTW iamwiz82, get some damn alcohol tolerance!

LOL. This topic made me remember this girl in my High School with some really big tits. When she needed something, she would come up to you and press her cans right up against your back. What's a guy to do?.:D

its a nature/gender/sex documentary favorite, sometimes news magazines also do this hidden video thing where they show the difference between a man and a pretty woman asking for help from strangers.. either for broken down cars or for donations for charity..the pretty girl always wins hands down.

other ones where they send a guy or a girl on a university campus and offer sex who strangers...you can guess the results. 3 outa 4 guys say yea ok like its their lucky day. all the women refuse:p

ur g/f is naive or being silly.
the halo effect of beauty if well documented.
and men being easily entranced by beauty is as well;)

you can't blame society. its ingrained. studies on children show they prefer good looking teachers as well..ascribing qualities of goodness to a good looking teacher.

heh i just watched beowulf....yes no man would turn down angelina jolie;)
