Picture this scenario: You go to a bar, you meet a drunk chick, and she asks you for a ride home. Being the gentleman that you are, you agree to give her a ride home.

As you are walking out of the bar with the drunk chick by your side, someone (most likely an NT) questions your good will and accuses you of trying to take advantage of the drunk chick.

If your intentions are indeed only to give the drunk chick a ride home, how do you convince the naysayers that you only wanted to give the drunk chick a ride home?

If you are really just taking them home, then the naysayers' opinions shouldn't matter.

The NT will probably forget about it by tomorrow morning (unless said NT knows you...)

You can't convince them. I think there are generally two types of people who will wrongfully accuse you: the scarred people (they've seen so many people do bad things, they don't trust anybody but themselves) and those who have bad intentions themselves (they'd take advantage of the drunk girl if they were in your position). Either way, you can't hope to make any difference in that moment. The best you can do is be an honest person. It can feel very offensive to be accused of something you didn't do or intend, but it is just a part of life.

And was this really a "hypothetical scenario?" :wink: Just ignore them and do what's right. If you didn't take advantage of the drunk girl, and you continue to not do such things, people will eventually come to the conclusion that you actually are an honest person.

I was once escorting a "drunk chick" out of a bar, and someone stopped me and said, are you going to take advantage of that girl? And I said yeah. And they said, I'm shocked. You could be arrested!"
And I said, "I doubt that."
And this guys said, why do you doubt that?
And at that point, the drunk chick said "are we going home or what?"
And this guy still didn't get it, so he said "you're taking her home?"
And I said, "sure am."
And he said "well, your intentions are obvious then."
And I said, "by the time we get home, she'll be sober, and I imagine we'll do something that you won't approve of, but we're married, so what's the problem?"

Of course, that was quite a few years ago, and she still looked underage, and I was about 30 pounds lighter and didn't drink, because I took meds, but this guy didn't even think about that possibility. I was half carrying this drunk chick out of a bar to take advantage of her.

People jump to a lot of conclusions. Heck with em.

Oh, yeah....she doesn't drink like that anymore, but we still take regular advantage of each other.
