Lots of San Francisco hate lately. We moved here six years ago. We’ve made friends, have great neighbors, live in a vibrant and diverse neighborhood. My daughter goes to a great public school. We aren’t leaving, probably ever. Here’s some tips.

I appreciate you mean well w/this, but a lot of these suggestions just won't work well for women here. Work as your social hub isn't great, traveling w/o headphones invites unwelcome (then hostile) comms, engaging w/homeless can be unsafe. I do <3 tips about exploring & chatting.

Totally. I was suggesting the opposite of work as your social hub, fwiw. I actually thought to myself “unless you’re a woman” when I wrote those two. I probably should’ve said that.

Yes. You should have. If I were you, I’d add it on to the end of the thread. Without, it sounds awfully arrogant.

Not the same as including it on the thread. Most people who see the thread don’t follow you and wouldn’t see the RT.

Sorry, I keep thinking this. Bugs me. I'm a dude and there are some dudes who are big and scary and I shouldn't make friends with. There are homeless people who are female. Saying all women get a pass from befriending any homeless seems wrong.

Women have a lot more to lose from befriending strangers in general - no matter what gender the strangers are, or how large they are physically.
