Gratitude, Mugging and Cops: Nice guy to the rescue

Nice guy to the rescue

Today, I saved a woman from being mugged, and stayed with her until the police arrived. At which point she ignored me completely, and thanked the handsome 20-something police officer for making her feel safe, like I did nothing. Ungrateful cow. Next time the mugger can have your handbag. FML

Today, I was was leaving the library when I noticed an elderly woman being mugged. I was about to leave on my bike, but promptly went to help her. After I managed to scare off the mugger, I helped her to her car. As I was heading back to my bike, I notice the mugger riding off on it. FML

Today, I got mugged. After taking my cell phone, the guy politely said: "Thanks. Have a nice evening. Be careful on your way home." FML

Today, I was mugged. I saw a cop car in the aftermath and flagged it down. Unfortunately, when the cops stopped the mugger, he said he'd been running away because I tried to mug him. Apparently the fact that he was "well-dressed" and I wasn't means he was telling the truth. FML

Today, I witnessed an elderly lady getting mugged. I ran over to the guy mugging her and offered him the money in my wallet in return for him leaving her alone. The old lady snatched my money and ran away with the mugger. What the hell just happened? FML

Today, while being robbed, a man heroically chased down the robber and got my purse back. He then looked at the distance between us, turned the other way and ran off with it. FML

Today, I got mugged. Trying to be brave, I attacked my mugger, who then broke my nose. Suddenly, I was saved by someone: A 15 year-old goth girl who promptly tackled the mugger to the ground. I'm a 21 year old man. FML

Today, I saw a woman being mugged. I ran up to help and pushed the guy off of her. She then punched me in the face and called the cops because she was, "just living out a fantasy" and I'm, "a lunatic for trying to help." FML

Today, I saw a my neighbor being mugged on the street. I wanted to help, so I tried to yank her purse from the mugger's hands. I guess my neighbor didn't see me clearly, because she thought I was another mugger and kicked my directly in the happy sacks. FML

Do you really have no idea how absolutely gross you sound right now? Because you ended up saving someone who turned out to be a shallow wench, she deserves to be mugged? Shallow wench doesn't equate to deserves to be mugged, and possibly assaulted in the process. Real Knight you are.

So would he be upset if he’d saved a male from being mugged and then they’d given all their attention to the 20something cute cop?

Are you an incel, by any chance, Neckbeard?

I used to be one of those a long time ago, but not long enough that I don't recognize it. That's clear incel behavior.

Honestly I’m impressed with the replies so far, good on you for doing the right thing, but it doesn’t earn you a woman’s attention, and getting angry at her for not giving you attention only takes back the good karma you got yourself 👍

It's called the halo effect, basically being attractive acts as a positive modifier for the perception of all of your other traits/actions. Totally get being surprised the first time you see it. Though life isn't a fairytale you don't get the girl as a prize for defeating the dragon.
