Agreed. I'm not going to contribute to America's anti-social problems either. Sometimes I actually enjoy helping other strange guys out. I use it as an opportunity to practice winging and analyze an approach.
Be competitive but civil, that's my philosophy.
I'm glad you bring this up. I've actually helped 100 times as many strange guys as I've ever stolen from or CB'ed. I'm about 95 percent sure that I got a guy laid who was in the middle of the most awkward first date I've ever eavesdropped on. I interrupted their date, saying: "are you guys on your first date?" They acknowledged it, breathed a sigh of awkward relief and we got talking. I was like, "yeah, me and my girl [I had a chick with me] were trying to guess. You just won me $1." They laughed and we talked about "dating" and about "seizing the moment when you have a connection with someone." (My subtle salvo to that poor cat.)
It may seem dickish, but my silly emceeing actually got the guy out of his shell. He got back on his feet and started telling jokes, calming the fuck down, and getting more interesting with every passing minute. I left them to their own devices, telling the girl, "you better take this guy home tonight. I mean look at him." (Dude was on fire by this point, talking up a storm--a total conversion.) Later that night, I saw them making out all nasty in a corner. Dude probably hit it that night--at worst the next time.
I've given guys advice on the spot at clubs and cafes. I've introduced two strangers to each other. I've smoothed out awkward moments for dudes who are stumbling. I've outright surrendered girls when I think another guy can do a better job. Fuck, I'm like a Pussy Santa Claus.
But, here and there, a guy is going to fall victim. I do more good than harm, but if the situation merits it, I'm going to use my powers for evil--especially if the guy has it coming, in my view.
