Strong paranoia ITT. Unless you live in a third world country or the ghetto you don't need to do this chit. Don't walk down dark ass alleyways at 2am and you'll be fine. But thats just common fukking sense.


Once had an ex friend who started telling me about this bullchit. But this was the same girl who also told me that she never truly felt safe around me because I am a man. Despite the fact that we grew up together.

Can't imagine living in fear because you think everyone is out to get you. Like this is some jungle with rapists and murderers lurking in the shadows like tigers.

i almost never do, i'm only carefull if i'm in a bad neighborhood at night, but being afraid to check your phone and watching around you constently in the middle of the day is sad
but i see a lot of girls who seems to be scared at night and it's awkward when i walk behind them and they speed up... feels bad to be taken for a rapist when you're just walking home

Parking next to a light at night, checking their surroundings at all times, bring a buddy with u, keep headphones so no one talks to you, walk fast, etc. One girl even said as she walks she checks for escape routes in case something happens. I never thought about any of this as a male.
That's just lack of situational awareness, most people are ignorant until something happens to them. I see everything since I was 16, has saved me a few times.

It astounds me.

We do this dog walk thing on Sundays where you bring your dog(s) and walk with other people, supposed to socialise dogs.

On one walk I was casually walking down a narrow path in line when some woman barged me out of the way to get past, thought "how rude" but didn't react, didn't even give her a foul look. So I carry on walking, behind her now, at the same pace. The whole time from then 'till the end of the walk she is looking over her shoulder at me, clearly uncomfortable.

At the end of the walk I saw her scowling at me and whispering to some of the other women, who then gave me disapproving looks.

Now process that sequence of events.

1. Man minding own business walking dog.
2. Woman barges him out of her way to get past.
3. Woman spends whole walk looking over shoulder, making a big point that she feels uncomfortable now with man who she overtook behind her.

Some serious idiots in this world.

honestly sometimes check behind my back cuz when I come back from the gym at night and walk to my car.
I park like 100 yards away from the gym cuz free parking spot and walk thru some non lighted parts where a lot of homeless people hang around.

only started doing this because there were reports of two robberies around this area in da newspaper some time ago. don't have any money on me but safe is safe.

Easily parsed. She's anxiety-ridden and self-involved, so she literally can't imagine that you aren't as fixated on her faux pas as she is.
Nah, fukk that. I’m not doing that.

Jesus christ, this thread.

A woman gets raped people question what she was wearing, what she was doing, why was she there, how did she put herself in the situation?

A woman tries to actively avoid putting herself in that situation and everyone says she's paranoid and thinks all men are rapists.

It's not just about rape anyway. You should be looking out and keeping yourself safe also.

I went to college in one of the top 5 most dangerous parts of the country. Young white girls be out drunk wandering the streets alone at night in the hood screaming, yelling, etc in mini skirts. Then wanna come and complain they dont feel safe, etc.

Its another grab for attention. I knew more males that got robbed or assaulted than females.

It's always the nastiest butch looking ones that openly talk about that kind of chit. Like any self respecting man would even have sex with you normally much less try to rape you. Talk about wishful thinking.

Negged. The hypocrisy is that women go out at night dressed up like hookers to get noticed by men...then claim that it's so dangerous out there and act like they need to be fearful for their safety AT ALL TIMES. The thing with women in public is that all they have to do is scream and other men will come running to the rescue. As a man, if you're being attacked in the street...you're on your own. Are women going to come to your rescue? No.

Case in point: I had a pair of actual hookers attack me in a casino carpark because I rejected their proposition in what they believed was a condescending way. Was kind of like the scene from the beginning of Robocop 2, minus the robbing. A pair of stilletos is a dangerous weapon if they know how to use them. I couldnt hit them back because there were other people nearby...who would have thought I was attacking some helpless women and sided against me.

BRB putting myself in unsafe situations and not being aware of my surroundings or looking after my own safety because if something happens I can always scream for help.

Yeah, that makes much more sense than being safe in the first place.

Don't think I ever denied that stuff happens to men also, I've not even suggested that it happens to women more.

carrying a fixed blade knife on your centerline is generally the best option

preferably on that can be grabbed at any angle like a clinch pick or something from special circumstances.

There's no way I would advise any female to knuckle up against a male, that's just asking for problems. It's a valid technique if they're assaulted and in close, however. A blade through there will ruin anyone's day. As squeamish as many people are when it comes to blood, it's an easy way of shifting an assailant's mind from assault to self preservation...and that allows the female to get away. All it takes is the will.



oh and LOL @ the height comments, as though that's going to stop anybody from getting run up on.

I get worried about this too, only because I'm a small target and perceived to be weak, so I do carry a pocket knife and be aware of my surroundings.
