I am lucky enough to have a boyfriend that is a true gentleman. But we are not always together, so in situations that he cannot accompany me I have to use what little focus and common sense that I have.
Instances like walking to my car after work, going to and from the gym, even going to get gas alone puts me on high alert. Most of the time I am off in my own little world of thoughts but suddenly become acutely aware of everything when I'm alone. What happened to being an independent woman Creepy guys, that's what happened.
Men, please understand that if a woman is alone (and sober) she's probably a little more guarded than usual. Standing by yourself in the gym with the lights off? Creepy. Asking a stranger when she's off of work so you can "walk her to her car"? Really creepy. Seeing a girl checked in somewhere on Four Square and causally running into her that? Uber creepy.
So ladies be smart and be safe. If you're alone be aware of your surroundings, creepy guys can sense a single girl like a bloodhound. If worse comes to worse there's always pepper spray or a taser!
