Would you accept a ride from a stranger? Do you accept rides from strangers?
No. Same reasons as not picking up 'hikers.Quote:

Never had to, but if I was stuck somewhere, I probably would.
no fucking way.
Depends on what sort of impression or feeling I had about him or her.
shit man, some guy tried to pick me up today! I was walking home from the farmer's market, and granted I had a lot of bags, but still! what it I had a gun? what if I robbed his sorry ass? what if he was pscho..... I don't trust people.
nope.
unless its a registered taxi and i am paying (or at least going shares on the fare)
nothing wrong with my own two feet thanks
interesting....
I would be MUCH more likely to accept a ride from a woman than a man.
I only accept rides from robots.
a robot taxi driver?..where have i seen that before? :1orglaughQuote:

if i was desperate and where i needed to get wasnt in walking distance.
and if they try the, "i have candy and puppies in the back of my windowless van!!!" approach, probably not. lol :o
ski masks in the summer and/or blood stained clothes is usually a bad sign too.:1orglaughQuote:

Yes, I would, if i could find anyone stranger than me! But then again, I often pick up hitchhikers also.
I have problem giving my friends rides...Strange no.... But here a 10.00 go away....
If it was someone I had a good feeling about, I might give some a lift. Talking with them for awhile yeah...Olix for some reason see you being a nice person, true nice person. I would give Olix or maybe Mr karl...
what I do, where do you need to go? Get you bus ticket, we both win...100.00 ticket or what ever it might be, it no real problem it helps out someone. I would rather do that have that warm fuzzy feeling.
I would even do that for Biker or anyone the on planet...
just b4 i answer and lower the tone, what kind of ride u mean?
and hell ye, ill take a lift if someones offering, and im always happy to accept any other kind of ride bein offered lol, sorry to lower the tone but i couldnt help myself im weak!!!! lol
I ONLY accept rides from strangers.
If you knew my friends you would understand.
:1orglaugh Best answer yet.Quote:

In retrospect, perhaps my 15 or 16-year-old self missed something else I should have been concerned about, but he was very good to me.
I can't believe women even attempt to deny that "chicks dig jerks".Quote:

There is a certain appeal to someone monstrous who is capable of terrible things but chooses to treat me well. Like Vaughn said, we do know some of the same people. But I consider it extremely adolescent to date anyone who treats you personally badly for any length of time and I'd learned that lesson by the time I was 15 or 16.
But the guy I mentioned actually did not fall into those parameters at all. He sometimes treated other people very badly, but he treated me very well, and he never treated women in general badly. I had been very popular at the school I attended the year before, but what makes you beloved one place makes you ostracized another and some people were really really really not nice to me. I was in a situation where having my gallant knight be a scary gun-running drug dealer was a real plus, but he in no way skimped on opening doors for me, being fun to go out on the town with, telling an entertaining story, not sexually pressuring me, all the things one would want from someone "nice" and my parents even liked him, despite knowing most everything about him. He was a good-looking gent, so, when I started dating him, one of my classmates, who fancied herself hot, pulled him into the bathroom at the bar we all frequented (Europe, we were more or less legal to drink) and she started running me down in front of a bunch of people and trying to explain that, if he were in high school, he would know not to date me and he just got all threatening and was like, "are you questioning my taste?"
When someone is true to you, whether or not you are present, whether or not you are adored by the people they are around at the time, that is having a good relationship, not digging jerks.
You know what I mean though - the ultimate fantasy is like, living with Jason Voorhees and being the ONE girl he doesn't kill

A guy who is all like "I'd treat any girl I dated like gold" does not make someone feel particularly special by treating her like gold. He can just come across as sort of desperately undiscerning, like it does not matter who the girl is at all. And the whole mechanism of falling in love is finding what makes someone else special to you. And, let's face it, it is kind of misogynist for a guy to claim to be nice and then attribute all sorts of negative qualities to women. Totally normal after a rough break-up but not generally alluring.
That said, I think chicks digging jerks and chicks fantasizing about being incredibly special to a serial killer are entirely different issues with almost nothing to do with one another. I mean, can you tell me what those two things have in common?
