No.  If the girls are chasing me because I'm a high school football hero,
then that's not enough.  They are chasing someone they don't know, and perhaps
don't care to know.  I'd rather be "chased" for me, i.e., for something that
distinguishes me more than merely being a football hero.  For a personal
reason.  Besides, airheads who chase jocks are of little interest to me.

I could care less if younger boys came up to me and said that they would
like to grow up like me.  I'd likely get annoyed and tell them that they
needn't be like anyone.  I'd much prefer them asking me questions about
life, if anything.

As for strangers doing special favors, etc., I'd either get annoyed at such
stupidity or be amused.
