A Hot Girl in a Tiny Bikini Walks By, What Do You Do?
Guest post by didache
Few questions to ponder:
1) While waiting for a light to change a man dressed in shabby clothes begins to walk towards you. What do you do?
a. Do you roll up you windows, lock your doors and pray he doesn't approach your car?
b. Do you say a little prayer thanking God that you're not him?
c. Do you see if he needs help and then offer it to him?
2) You are riding on a crowded bus and at a stop an old lady walking with a cane and pulling a cart with several packages gets on. What do you do?
a. Try to avoid making eye contact with her.
b. Give up your seat and help her out.
3) Guys: You're at the beach and a beautiful super model type girl in a very tiny bikini walks by. Girls: You're at the beach and a very good-looking, well-built guy, walks by.
a. What do you think?
b. What do you say, if anything, to your friends that are there with you?
The questions are rhetorical, you don't have to answer them in the comments. However, do you think the way someone answers and reacts to the questions reveals their character?

I love these questions but I'm only willing to answer #2 since it is something I actually experience everyday.
I'd give up my seat and help out. :)
But I have migrated to the back of the bus recently and only experience people with rolling backpacks who should really think about what they're doing and sit closer to the front where they don't bother all the sleeping people in the back. Sorry for the semi-rant. -_-
Hot girl in Bikini: Dammmmmmn girlllllllllllllllllllll, what's your name? How'd you get alla that.
LOL. J/k.
Hmmmmmm , I think the question being asked& the answer replied..You can actually find out a lot about a person. It's like an interview. Make a lasting impression! Sigh, too bad, no guys can do that to me. Hahahh.
I don't think it really shows their character. We all ignore these things sometimes. But most of the time, our heart is there. It might reflect their attitude at the time though.
1) I usually give him some change.
2) Help the woman and give up your seat
3) Drink in the sights to your eyes content. Thank God for being so diligent in his creations and jab my buddies with my elbow so they don't miss out.
1) he's there every week
2) Too bad i don't sit while i'm on the bus/train
3) would be nice if i went to the beach once in awhile.
In all seriousness, i do believe the way we answer these questions reflect on our own behaviors and perceptions on things.
I don't think a person's answers to these questions would reveal their character.
It kind of reminds me of a post I saw on Xanga about what characteristics make up a good leader. And there were a bunch of superficially good characteristics, but they ended up describing Adolf Hitler. Lol, I don't know if anyone else has ever seen this, but I've seen it posted a couple of times.
So I guess you really don't know about a person based on what they say or what they seem to be. (Lol, this is so obvious.)
Definitely--responses are a reflection of ourselves and how comfortable we are in our own skin. Many people with self-hatred project that on the rest of us in their interactions with others.
1. a)--I would avoid the man, but think about the sad state of our mental institutions and the destitute nature of the mentally unstable due to society's neglect.
2. b)--of course
3. a)he or she is hot--- I can recognize beauty and sexuality in both genders even though I'm straight. Oh! And then I would use the Lord's name in vain: OMG!
Most people are experts at blowing smoke, you know, the whole cliche of talking the talk but not walking the walk. Sadly its hard to trust people's words these days, when back in the day the words of a person were likened to gold. Reactions and verbal answers can tell a story, but it is a story that is missing very vital chapters.
1) Give him money if he asks and I have some. Everytime.
2) Hope I notice (!), then give up my seat.
3) Enjoy the view. Look to my wife laying beside me on the beach and thank God I'm married to her. Women are beautiful. Women in tiny bikinis are really, really beautiful. But we cannot descend into lust every time we see something beautiful, especially if we're at the beach! Our heads would explode. We must be grateful for what God has given to us.
1) While waiting for a light to change a man dressed in shabby clothes begins to walk towards you. What do you do?
I would be pretty scared. Depending on what God prompted me to do I would either lock my doors and wait for the light to turn green, talk to him, or give him some money. If the light was about to change anyway he probably wouldn't be able to cause me any harm. I usually keep my car doors locked anyway because drunk people tend to jump into moving vehicles at stop signs at night anyway. You should keep yourself safe before helping someone.
2) You are riding on a crowded bus and at a stop an old lady walking with a cane and pulling a cart with several packages gets on. What do you do?
See if anyone else stands up to give her their seat. If I'm up near her, I'd give her my seat but if I was near the back of the bus I'd let the bus driver deal with it instead of making a fool of myself.
3) You're at the beach and a very good-looking, well-built guy, walks by.
"Oh my, he's not wearing a shirt. He's fine! God already has someone picked out for me, so there's no point in lusting over him!"- I wouldn't say that outloud but in my head. Then I would divert my eyes and go back to reading my book, assuming I was sunbathing. The first look is fine, but the second look would be committing adultry with my heart. I don't tend to pay attention to guys I'm interested in because I don't want to disappoint God, but if we're talking I always look at their face instead of letting myself obsess over their body or invividual features, like their lips or eyes. It seems to work pretty well
b. What do you say, if anything, to your friends that are there with you?
1) it depends.
2) hop up absolutely.
3) I look, but I don't obsess. To deny the fact that we are hormonal beings is to invite secret lusts.
@everenchanted@xanga - I think I remember seeing that post too. Of course Adolf Hitler was in deed a good leader, he was just leading people in the wrong direction -o -"
@m1kyo@xanga - Yeah, haha, true.
1. I lock the doors. People like that can be dangerous.
2. I help her if feasible.
3. I look, and appreciate his or her nice body, but I don't get sexual feelings or have any desire to have sex with him. It's just something nice to look at, like a painting or a beautiful mountaintop view.
What he said- @tendollar4ways@xanga
1. I'll probably give anything but money (can of pop?)
2. help out
3. sighs and thinks "nice view"
and yes, the answers most definitely reveal one's character (with the exception of people who lie).
I dont know.:)

1. Lock up. In my city, which is the capital of my country, a lot of bad things happen. I'm not taking my chances.
2. Give her my seat. I've done it many times in the train.
3. Look and appreciate, but not think sexual thoughts. It's pretty easy, no kidding.

3- a
1. I know that a lot of the homeless/beggars are inappropriately released patients from mental institutions. Giving them money is a bad idea usually...I have happily given them food before if they have signs asking for food. And I usually try and give food to the soup kitchens for them.
2. If the old person looks less healthy then me, they get my seat. I have a lot of health problems, so sometimes I need to sit more then a healthy old person!
3. Um, I dunno? I see a lot of hot people at the beach in the summer so it's not a big deal. It's less interesting to me than the hilarious seagull food stealing episodes.
Number one happened to me the other day. I was conflicted. He could have bee a stung out junkie who might have carjacked me that's why I locked the doors. On the other hand he could have been a Christian brother who was down on his luck and needed my help.
I haven't used public transportation in a long time so I don't know my answer to #2.
Concerning #1 & 2 - These two reminded me of the Minister Dresses Up as a Homeless Man...Churchgoers Ignore Him, and with this in mind: "And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.' Matthew 25:40
I know my answer to #3. I remember one time seeing a woman who was too big too wear a bikini and her tan lines showed she'd never worn the one she had on. I couldn't help myself, I stared in amazement! Ladies, have you ever seen a big man in a sppedo at the beach? Many preachers use 1 Timothy 2:9 against beach going which broght to mind another post some time ago, Is It A Woman's Responsibility To Keep Men From Stumbling?
I think #2 is probably the only one I almost always do what I think I should do -- I'd give her my seat.
On #3, I'd try be looking into her eyes and see what's going on in there. For example, she might have been crying, because someone just said something really mean to her, or she might be frantic, searching for a lost child. In an ideal world, a woman putting on a tiny bikini is probably expecting to just have a fun day. But in this world, the day we expect is not always the day we get.
Some people would guess in that moment that seeing me look at her face instead of her body says something about my character. But, then, there's still more to it. I could be in the hunt, looking into her eyes to see if I could start something and get her in bed. I could be suicidal, looking for just one more haughty look of rejection to seal my resolve to call it quits. Or, I might just be a loving person, always looking for a new friend and new opportunities to be a blessing.
So while I think a person's response in #3 perhaps reveals some things they are not, at least in that particular moment, I don't think it provides an answer about what or where they are.
Yes and no. Because something can move you but, the question is do you move? Meaning it may touch you, but if you don't do anything about it, are you any better than a person who doesn't get all of the warm and fuzzies. It's so easy to read these and think that I would act in compassion, but in reality, I would probably be stirred up, think about acting, and just sit there. I hope I would act, but unfortunately, and honestly I am a pretty selfish being. This doesn't mean that I've never acted out of compassion towards someone who was in need, but it's not the norm, it is more the exception. It's sad, I know, but I am still being worked on. Hopefully in the near future it will be the natural thing to act in love and compassion, all the time. Character is a lot more then answering  and reacting to questions and scenarios.
