It's happened to me, it happens everywhere, everywhere there are jerks that is.

I was once wandering around the streets of Weisbaden, Germany. It was quite late at night. I don't speak German.

A car pulled up next to me, a man got out and started speaking in German. I said "Sorry, I don't speak German". He then began to approach me gesturing towards his car.

I got nervous and banged on the hood of his car, he stopped briefly and then started to approach me again, still speaking in German and gesturing, a bit more frantically.

I then started kicking his car, hard. Very hard (I was a runner so I have very strong legs). I could see the dents I was putting in his car and he tried gesturing for me to stop but I kept kicking and started screaming "get away from me, get the f**k away from me", like a mad woman. He jumped back in his car and took off.

For all I know he wanted to know where to get petrol but I wasn't about to wait and find out.

So yeah, the mad woman thing works.

why is this under religion?

wear a wedding band while you walk, and just flash it to them without looking at them when you feel them oogling you.

Um some guys are more interested when you're taken! Don't ask me why, I have NO clue!

Maybe she could dress all butch or something.

wait, some guys think that's hot too

I can't imagine they were checking out her fingers...

If you do manage to snap a photo, post it here.

Whatever you do, be confident. Even if you're terrified. Predators are most likely to pick a victim that looks weak. If you are cornered, get your cell and dial 9-1-1 while saying it out loud, they'll usually book it.

Some men are creeps. Help teach them what is and is not acceptable behavior, even if you need a can of mace to do it.

Because I failed.

I guess I was being a little vague, I didn't mean to say that I was almost run over. I meant to say that I have been cornered by cars/trucks with the intent of abduction.

Your idea won't work because if these men are that intent on getting to know her, its like a boss of mine when I was a teen told me, "Wag, a ring doesn't plug a hole." If these guys are that hard after her then a wedding ring won't ward them off.

Question.

Is that the real you in the avatar?

That's why she needs to carry a baseball bay with a huge nail driven through it. No one is going to mess with a chick whose idea self defense is a wooden bat with a nail sticking out of it. Especially if she's screaming out random s**t in a scary 'possessed by the devil' voice.

I'm telling you it would be a huge deterrent.

Seriously; act crazy(ier). This will keep most at bay. And carry some sort of self defense weaponry; like a tazer or something that will immediatley elimenate them.

It would be sweet if you learned how to throw knives really well and then carried like twenty knives strapped to your clothing and you walked around all mean; looking at people all "I'm gonna kill you"-like.

and wear a Punisher T-shirt.

Screaming "I'll kill you dead!"

That'd work... thing is, most places don't let you carry throwing knives. No fun, I say... Not even office buildings or sports fields. Carrying unconcealed weaponry does cause people to back off, but then it also attracts attention you wouldn't really want (the fuzz, for example).

lol, I wish. I just googled "ron paul shirt" and this is what I found. I am actually a size 7 with less than ample cleavage.

That would acutally be my perfect girl. green vomit and all. :-) But yea some guys suck, I was stumbling around this house once at this party and I kinda walked into this room that I thought was a closet(don't ask why I was lookin for a closet) but I walked in on this guy that was holding this girl down and she was screaming.. and I think thats the first time I've ever intentionally wasted alcohol b/c I hit him with the beer bottle like 3 times b4 it broke then started punchin him, but then his friends came and drug me out and kicked my ass, lol.. I was kinda drunk but hey she got away.. I think she started dating him like a week later though even though she thanked me for saving her that night.. so yea .. sometimes I hate girls as well

I live in Phoenix, too (well, I am among the Snottsdalians). But I used to work around 7th and Camelback and I would see drivers doing stupid crap all the time around there. I can now say, after a few years here, that without a doubt (and after having lived in 5 states and TONS of cities including LA, San Diego, Minneapolis, Denver, San Francisco and here) that Phoenix has the WORST drivers in the country and that the people here are the biggest a**holes I've ever met.

Everyone is angry here and they try to take it out on everyone else. We live in the frickin' desert, people are bound to be pissed about that.

But you don't have a car?! WTF do you do during the summer?!?!

I use the bus a little more often ;) lol, I live on the west side and there is not much to do so I become a bit of a mallrat when it's hot out.
