Comment on Anon walks home in the city at 2 AM

As a tall man who likes to walk at night, I have long understood that women alone at night do not wish to encounter me. So when I happen to find myself following a woman down the street, I will either slow down, cross the street, or stop and look at a sign or something for a minute to give her some space.

In a dangerous and shitty world, a person has to find subtle and quiet ways to express care, compassion, and solidarity. It costs me nothing to make a woman feel safer.

This is the way, and good for you.

Purposefully making women afraid they’re about to get assaulted is abhorrent.

While working i am occasionally in parking garages which can be dark and creepy. If i see a woman walking alone I’ll try to make some noise like pulling out my keys. People with bad intentions will be stealthy, hopefully they get that I’m not a threat

  He’s not a “Sucker Idolizing Mediocre Pussy”
  
  He’s a man making sure women feel a little safer.
  
  Using the word “SIMP” in this context runs counter to every example of protective familymen I’ve ever seen. Derision against his behavior is as good as calling yourself a creep, a predator, an enemy of all that is good and right.
  
  You have the morals of an opportunistic thug … yet I have no doubt you think yourself some kind of faithful man

    Simp is also just short for “simpleton”

    That’s not how simp is used in this context, you pedant of a British cigarette.

  Eh possibly, but many of the women I’ve slept with have told me that I make them feel safe and that it’s a huge turn on for them. Shocking, I know, that people might want to feel secure before they get intimate.

on the one hand, you’re right and I agree with you.

on the other hand, I’ve got places to be and other people walk so fucking slow.
