Twenty years ago I would have had no problem fooling around with, or just helping out a girl down on her luck or just in between places. I just have so much less trust in strangers nowadays, and that comes from direct experience, having had my general trust in my fellow man worn down again and again. Everyone seems to be working an angle, trying to get one over on you. It is like it is the norm.
It is sad, because like Hydrogonian said, something about a woman who needs help fires up your protective instincts, and you actually have to teach yourself to go against your better nature in order not to be taken advantage of.
This can't be good. Not wanting to help out so much anymore, and especially not wanting to help out women. It seems like one of the fundamental ways society will go down the shitter: Men losing their faith in women.
I feel sad seeing my better nature drift away, and I think women will be truly shocked when the whole thing backfires on them.
