Not a question, but as a male, I fear walking at night not because I fear kidnapping, but because if I take the same path as a girl in front of me, I’m worried they’ll think that I’m following them. Sometimes, I intentionally make a wrong turn

You can also make it not weird, you can fall back, or talk on the phone (not in a creepy way), or even in some cases tell her like hey i swear im not following you just walking this way. And sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do and walk behind them. As long as you aren’t all up in their business you should be okay.

Feels bad, but sometimes it’s just like that… you can’t always affect what other people think. women can sometimes tell the difference between someone walking and someone following them, but even if she does take precautions, it’s nothing personal

Yeah I know it isn’t personal and I fully understand why they feel that way
