I agree. That being said, when someone says 'trust me,' they really should be saying 'trust me not to put myself in that circumstance.'
The fact that 'trust me' is often said by people willingly walking into that kind of circumstance undermines the protest just a bit.
Still it's interesting. Most people walk around thinking they're one type of guy and are shocked to find out they're another guy altogether. Or, they're so fearful of temptation that it makes me wonder what sordid little scenarios they have playing in their heads.
