I, on the other hand, often feel more scared when I encounter a group of guys. Although it depends on the group and how they seem to be interacting with each other.

I was not talking about a group tho. I was talking about when I have been walking alone and one man is behind me, I feel scared but if I am on a street which contains more than one man (separately) it is much less likely he'll attack me if he does happen to be a violent criminal.

Isnt that funny. for men we are more or less relaxed around a single man in a dark alley but or anticipation grows when there is more than one. An inverse reaction?

You probably mean in a group though? My fear might not decrease if I came across a group of men. I'd be afraid of being mugged. But if a man is behind me on a dark street & I am afraid & then I see another man ahead of me, I feel safer.

observed this lots walking home late at night from town to uni. walk behind a woman & she gets jumpy, what to do? talking seems to make them worse. change direction? live in the same area used to cross the road & or overtake. being feared for something you have no choice about

Thanks for the unsolicited advice I'll treasure it always. When this was an issue 20 years ago I'd have been 10-20 metres behind

Oh, go away with your endless passive aggressive snark and biased victimhood complex. We get enough of this from feminists.

I think we'd have to study to what extent men enable/ignore/encourage the bad behaviour of their friends. Judging from the experiences of female friends this doesn't seem uncommon.
-
But what do we regard as bad behaviour? I've never found men to overlook other men being abusive or violent to women.

Understandable as a reactive response. But I remember my heightened sense of suspicion during the
#yesallwomen zeitgeist. I had to logic my way out of that paranoid, unhealthy state of mind.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
