View Full Version : Sexual discrimination of hitchhiking

Ok, this particular subject has probably been discussed before, just as everyone knows exactly what I am talking about as well.
Why is it that male hitchers cannot get a ride? Yet, women, have no want for getting them?
I think people have been watching too many scary movies where the hitchhiker is a serial killer etc etc.
All a woman has to do is be there. There is just something about the sway of the hips that is rather distinguishing to single them out on the side of the road.
And if that itself doesn't work, all they have to do is show a little leg to get a ride.
But, if a man shows a little leg to try to get a ride more often than not he will become a hood ornament.
WTF?
I myself have noticed this several times when I have been ont he side of the road trying to hitch a ride. Yet, no one will pick up my big ass because they are sceered I am a meanie. Ahhh puta...
Goes into judging a book by it's cover I guess.
Why is this people? Riddle me this.
And don't give the age old excuse that men are all sexual perverts et al, just looking for a peice of ass.

Unfortunately, I think the general public has been scared in to avoiding hitchhikers all together. Fears of robbery, beatings and possibly worse have been spread by those controlling our Highway Safety.
I personally make it a habit not to pick up hitchhikers. Just as you said, you cannot judge a book by it's cover. Just because the person looks okay doesn't mean they're not the next Ted Bundy.

Having spoken to a few people that do pick up hitchhikers, there was once a school of thought that picking up two females was dangerous.
One male, Ok.
One female, Ok.
Couple, Ok.
Two males, prabably not.
Two females, probably not.
Some sort of vindictive false rape claim thingy that was going around.
Had a shit of a time once with a friend, we were trying to hitch with bald heads, both of us being big motherfuckers. Didn't help to have to spend the night in a fertiliser shed. We looked like ghosts the next morning.
look at it this way Asmodeus.
men are hoping for sex when they stop and pick up a hitchhiker that is female.
They see a male, they dont think "oh, I might get sex out of this" (at least, I hope most guys dont), so they are going to spend the time it takes to pull over, stop, and pick you up.
A female sees one guy hitchhiking, and she thinks "oh, I might get raped out of this" so she drives by, probably speeding up. But if she sees a female hitchhiking, they either feel sorry for em, or that maternal instict kicks in, and she stops.
That's probably why girls get picked up more than males.
Of course, there is also something you could try asmodeus, but I personally never would:
did you see george carlin on Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back?......
buahahaha :)
you're all over looking the obvious
98% of all hitchhikers are timetravelers and space aliens bent on world domination.
there for they will almost always disguise themselves as women so you will pick them up hoping to get that alien time traveler hooty.
only the stupid one would dare to look like a man....
duh.

I think people (perhaps stupidly) think that a woman is less likely to kill them than a man.
And people do judge a book by its cover - I used to hitch a lot, I found that if I had tidy clothes on I would get a ride a lot faster - when I shaved my head, I wouldn't get picked up unless I was wearing a hat.
*mental note: dress tidy and don't shave head when I begin my evil plot to take over the world*
I KNEW IT
Muffy is a timetraveling alien bent on world domination....

I come from the future, from a time where man is shackled in slavery to what you barbarians call farm animals. My people are a hybrid of rugby players, right wing politicians, and sheep, which is why we chose NZ as our base for the study of ancient 2 leggers. We do not believe in death rays, as we know that mankind is ultimately responsible for their own downfall in the year 2576, when a 95% fatal cheeseburger virus ends the fifth reich of panamerasians, paving the way to a new era of 4 legged leadership.
Baa.

Hey now, hey now... farm animals? nah... maybe sexual slaves... strictly for breeding perposes. bwahaha...
On a serious note, where the hell has this thread gone to? I thought it originally started out as to why male hitchers can't get rides unless they have George Carlin's mouth and chin ticklers.
Geese... sheeples nowdays...:D

In light of this thread, I picked up a hitcher today. He didn't look any more rough than I do to anybody else. I wasn't worried about anything bad happening. Me being a gun toter and all, I could have given him forty five good reasons not to start any shit. Anyway, I carried him about six miles (it was as far as I was going on the highway) and let him out. No conversation took place, he got out and said "preciate it" I said "no prob". That was it.
Now I've done my good dead for today, so suck me beautiful.:D
