LOL Man, you cracked me up with this.
Can you not see that a
really hot woman hitch-hiking is most likely to be the setup...?
Also, not to put you on the spot or criticize your answers too much, but I personally have always seen this "only if it was a hot girl" mentality as a form of pedastalization.
There are few kind acts I would do for a "hot girl" that I wouldn't do for an ugly guy. And this makes me feel more assured when I do kind things for women because I know it has more to do with the type of person I am than it has to do with the way they look. To each his own, though.
On other hand, I might be more likely to pick up a woman - if I didn't smell a setup, and even if she was ugly - just because I perceive a woman as more vulnerable in a situation like that. I've picked up plenty of guys hitch-hiking though too.
I grew up in a very rural area, so that may lend some perspective to my values in this area - perhaps less fear of consequence.

f) Actually I did this one time in a DR police cell (I got arrested for no carrying an ID by the way). I probably wouldn't do it again because the guys there tried to jump on me for getting involved. This is really putting yourself at risk.
Yeah, I've done this a few times and also came close to getting hurt because of it, which I knew was a possibility going in. It's obviously a very strong possibility if you get involved in someone else's fight.
I would most definitely do it again anyways, but I'm sure there's a certain point where if the risk was great and obvious enough that I would fail to act.
Damn - the DR? In a jail cell in a foreign country may very well be one of the moments where I'd stay out of it. LOL
