Am I being overzealous?

[cherinyc]

and not a single one of the commuters passing me, all guys, stopped to ask if I needed help.

Maybe I should have unzipped my top a bit more.

hee hee....ok - maybe damsel in distress is befitting to CERTAIN situations

I find it funny that men will be "selectively" helpful. Living at the beach in Florida, I fished off the surf a lot. The men were always quick to come over, give advice, ask if I needed anything, etc....UNTIL, the one day I caught a hammerhead shark and couldn't get the darned thing off the hook w/o fear of losing a couple fingers. Not a soul came by to help me. I would look over at various people and they would look away.
