Also, if you are a man, and you are walking somewhere late at night and there is a woman you don’t know walking by you, don’t say hi to her. Don’t smile at her. Don’t try to start a conversation with her. Don’t even make eye contact with her.
Pretend she doesn’t exist. I don’t care what reason you have to try to talk to her, I don’t care what excuse you’re going to give me to try to justify, you will come off looking like a threat.
'But I'm not a threat! I just-'
I don’t care what you just.
I’m telling you how it will seem.
The only time it is at all appropriate to approach a woman at night is if she’s dropped something. Get her attention, give it to her, and then walk away - cross the road or something.
Only if there is literally no one else around to tell her she dropped it.
Otherwise, let another woman tell her.
