      First, to be aware of the rules of this community. Just in case.

      Second, to just leave women the hell alone at night unless it’s a real emergency. If a rando approaches me when I’m alone at night, I’m not thinking he needs help, I get ready to fight. That’s an exhausting state to be in, so he better have a damn good excuse for talking to me.

        Aye, I have seen things pop up on this community but not posted. Just felt this was important to ask.

        So if we’re walking opposite directions on the sidewalk, just continue looking ahead and give a bit of a berth

          Treat her like a damned human and don’t do anything you wouldn’t do to a man

      The advice is literally to leave women alone at night. There’s not much wiggle room there to be confused about to be honest.

        I think that it is not quite enough and not a useful advice because of that, i.e. what is fine as a man to man interaction may feel offensive for man to woman one

            Preferably not, but I wouldn’t avoid them or try to make them comfortable

            Edit: come to think of it, it really depends on how that man looks and behaves

              Really?

              No, most people wouldn’t approach another person alone at night.

              This isn’t a gotcha question. Leave women alone.
