Ok fine, sure maybe I'm talking about an episode from "Saved By The Bell". But still, you shouldn't generalize and say that about men.

I laughed.
I don't usually give money to strangers because I tend to carry a decent amount of cash on me (uhhh, don't stalk me, GC) and I don't think it's a great idea to whip out a wallet full of cash in the middle of the street. Sometimes I give some if I know I'm not carrying much or if I have some money in my pocket instead of my wallet.
It has nothing to do with whether or not I think the person is "worthy." I think it's really weird when people are like, "I'd give them money but only if I knew it was going towards food." Either give or don't give, but don't act like you're worthy of judging who's worthy of "saving" and who's not.
I'm actually more likely to give someone money if they're honest about where it's going. Or if they make up a good, entertaining story about how ninjas killed their family and they need to money for karate lessons in order to get revenge.
