Most New Yorkers are great, but what's up with all the negativity on the trains? (how much, college)

I think it your problems are visible, to where someone could notice them, it is rude of someone not to offer you a seat, man or women.

and oftimes - maybe not in your case - the youthfulness may likewise not be evident depending on how one lives one's life.

The New York Subway is a corporate slave ship taking the sharecroppers to work everyday.

Should I lay my jacket down over a puddle so a woman can walk over it as well? lol

btw, you declining isnt helping. As more and more women decline the offer, the less and less likely it is that he will continue to offer seats to women.

Over the summer I had a broken foot, i was on cruthes and everything, I would get a seat about 50% of the time. Some times people sitting down would be too a shamed to look at me trying to balance on one leg while they sat down.

No, you should lay yourself in the puddle, so she can walk over you.


I disagree, I think a man that wants to offer a seat to a women will continue to do so, even if he is turned down every now and then.

I agree. I do continue to offer a seat after first evaluating the woman, carefully assessing her vital stats, looking at the ring finger, and making a statistical determination of whether she is likely to be a high earner based on her attire.

Once I feel that she affirmatively meets the selected criteria I then offer her my seat, fake my own pain, ask the fella next to her to now move over, sit next to her, and try to get her phone number.

Bottom Line: I'm a good guy cause I do offer her my seat.
