Females helping anyone? Not so much.

To that point, notice the gender of people who let you into stalled traffic, and those who speed up to make sure you don't get in, then tally it up after a year or so. In their defense, women seem terribly, terribly confused in automobiles.

There are many good people. Keep in mind though that in the Anglosphere they will be few, and most will be men, probably in the fly-over states, or possibly women who are deeply religious in long-term marriages.

On the coasts for sure, practically every woman is crappy.

In the foreign world, I have had women offer to help me in little ways that most men wouldnt and which would never happen in the states. One time I was at a clinic and I had to make my way to another clinic, in the same town, but of course I was a foreigner without a map. A woman overheard me asking one of the asshole men who worked there where the location of the second clinic was. As I was walking outside, she offered me a ride. I offered her money but she refused.

There are small acts of kindness that remind me that some people are still mostly good. Just keep in mind that in reality things are never black or white, and there is no one who is 100% good or bad. You just have to look for the ones who are mostly good, and make sure you have a list of dealbreakers which they dont violate.
