Girls who cross the road to avoid parked cars!

You're pissed off that girls are concerned for their safety? You, sir, sound like a prize *******.

It's always sensible to be wary of parked cars when walking down a street at night. I'm wary of walking past vans even in the daytime. Sure, it's unlikely you'll get bundled into the back, but it takes no effort to walk to the other side of the road and avoid the possibility of it happening.

Getting pissed off because girls are thinking of their safety? Low crime isnt no crime and they have every right to cross the road for whatever reason. Maybe it has nothing to do with you? Especially if you are 6 cars away, how are you supposed to see who's in a car from that far away at night? Stop taking it so personally is what i would do.

Isnt that what guys on here nag us to do all the time? Look after ourselves? Then you get pissed off at the girls who do try and look after themselves?
Decide what you ****ing want the lot of you.

I am not one to get annoyed easily but this does **** me off. It's because the area is harmless and has low crime. So I don't see what is the point. I kept thinking initially that maybe they had a previous bad experience? But then it happened quite a few times so they can't all have had a bad experience!

They can take safety however they wish, they choose to have sex with the guys they take home (if indeed they do, you CANNOT tell that by looking at them and if you want them to stop judging you without knowing you maybe you should consider doing the same!) they do not choose to be dragged into a car and raped and which cars have the bad people in them.

You wouldnt cross the road? Thats fine, you are a guy, you havent been brought up to think of the possibility someone may try to rape you, may try to drag you into it. Girls are taught differently, taught to try to avoid it in the first place rather than be the big man who refuses to show fear and by doing so is more likely to get into a nasty situation.

Let others who think differently to you just get on with what makes them happy, it isnt really doing you any harm is it?

A girl shouldnt have to feel unsafe because youre getting unnecessarily upset over someone crossing the road.

I always do it, it's nothing personal.

I live in London and if I'm walking alone past a parked car with a man in it almost 100% of the time they will say something seedy. It's not just about not wanting to be shouted at, it's about not wanting to be dragged into the car and raped.

Twice when I've been walking home (not particularly late) I've had men aggressively tell me to get in the car. Once it was a group of men who started to get out when I refused to get in, so I sprinted in tears until I found someone else in the street who kindly walked me home.

It's not just a precaution, it happens a lot.
Plus the girl probably can't even see what race you are.

edit: I also agree that it's none of the man's business. A girl shouldn't have to risk her safety due to not wanting to offend someone or seem racist.

Also for reference I live in probably the wealthiest area of London.

Haha you serious? Wtf. I am aware as much as the next man but I can only think of a few situations where I have felt genuinely threatened. Tend to rely on my instinct and have avoided a few potential troubled situations with my friends, when I first picked up something wasn't right.

I have done martial arts for a long time but understand the need to avoid trouble. One, it's easier to avoid as you say. Two, you don't know what/who you are dealing with. Three, don't want a criminal record due to my career. Sadly three is the one that scares me the most.

Bold bit isn't true in the slightest, agree with the rest of your post though.

How can you say it isn't true unless you are female?
You have not experienced what it is like for girls when walking alone.

I'm saying that at night, when walking alone in London it happens nearly 100% of the time. Normal people don't tend to hang around in their cars at night.

I do it - it's just safety more than anything. Nothing to do with race. I even do it when I'm walking past a van and no one's in the front. Honestly don't get how girls can win at this - we get told to be cautious and safe when alone, and then stuff like this is mentioned.

This made me a little jelly.

In the post I quoted you didn't mention "at night". And just to play devil's advocate it still wouldn't be true regardless of night or day. I don't have to be a girl to know that, it's just the law of averages.

And the person could have just got in their car about to move off.

And please, I'm the exact opposite of the OP, meaning that I'd also be wary if a car pulled up beside me at night so stop pulling the "you won't understand you're a guy" card.
