Seriously, if you saw someone trying to steal a bike, what would you do? Chase the thief away? Call the cops? Or...help him or her?
Well, there's the rub. As ABC News' "What Would You Do?" shows, if the thief is a her - specifically, a young, slim, blonde and generally attractive woman - and you're a him, you just might help her.
In this video (SFW), actress (and model and singer) Ashley Carpenter visibly takes her time trying to steal a bicycle in a park. Each time someone approaches her, she makes clear that the bike is not hers and she wants to steal it.
Notice what happened: Some of the men - but no women - actually helped her!
Not exactly news that men will go out of their way to help attractive young women, right? They even may help them commit crimes.
That's just it. Even though it's not news, men don't arm themselves against it. Not all or even most of them say to themselves "As a man, I'm vulnerable to young, pretty women's appeals, so if one approaches me I'll be extra suspicious. Especially if what she's asking is, well, evil."
Pretty strong evidence that people act, at least significantly, based on their emotions. Keep in mind that women's emotions weren't necessarily engaged in this particular situation, because very few women are trying to impress, or feel the primal need to protect, a pretty young woman.
We Aspies need to understand that when (not if) we need others' cooperation, logic, reason - even, at times, elementary moral principles - aren't enough. We need to look as good as possible, and otherwise engage people's emotions and primal desires - perhaps especially the ones no one will ever admit to themselves, much less others.
When a pretty girl smile and bats her eye lashes, men instantly lose their IQ by 20 points. When the penis start fighting the brain over blood, men start abandons most of the rationality and reasoning and all five senses are weaken.It is not stupidity and its pointless trying to make it seem its a product of society.Its just hard-wired into our DNA. Trying to deny such impulse is to deny what make us human.
Yeah we do lose it once a beautiful women is stealing or doing something evil.
