Hey babes! We know how difficult it is as a woman to just want to go out and enjoy the night without having some worry in the back of your mind that something scary might happen. Unfortunately, that’s how it be sometimes in this world but don’t worry, we gotchu. We’re gonna let you know what good on how to stay safe and enjoy your nights out
Stay Lit!
Okay so we already know you gonna be LIT, but we actually mean to say keep that ass in a lit up area, especially on college campuses or downtown areas. When it gets dark out, you don’t know who be lurking around so make sure you’re around an area where you can not only see yourself but you can see other people. Most of those sus people won’t try anything if you’re visible.
Group Up
Let’s be real, no one is trying NOTHING when you’re in a group of 3 or more people. People won’t try to follow, harass or even attack you when they think they’ll get outnumbered. Plus, you better have a group when going out, how else is the party gonna stay poppin?
Be Sharp
Now, we aint telling you to get a whole ass sword like you’re some Mortal Kombat character, but having a weapon for self defense isn’t a bad idea. If you wanna stay cute while defending yourself, there are even shops on etsy that sell cute customized self defense kits that have pepper spray and small hand held tasers disguised as lipsticks and more. Even holding your key in between your fingers in a fist counts as a weapon too so Don’t be afraid to use it if needed!
Male Friends = Protection
If you have any guy friends and they’re free, use them to your advantage in these situations! A majority of the time if a woman is seen walking with a male friend at night, attackers will steer away to avoid picking a fight, so call up a guy friend you can really count on!
Use That Speed Dial
Now this one is more for if you’re really by yourself; call someone and stay on the phone with them till you get home! That way, if something does happen, the person on the other line can alert authorities to make sure that you’re okay, so keep that loved one in your favorite contacts just in case.
Friends Forever…Right?
Okay, so we’ve all seen videos online where some guy is being creepy to a girl at a bar, but then another girl swoops in saying “Hi! Oh my god I haven’t seen you in a while! We should catch up, over there!”. Just to find out both girls don’t know each other? Well, that actually works! Most girls will stand with and protect each other if they can see that they’re getting those creep vibes from someones, So practice your ‘please help me’ eyes in the mirror and your 100% believable catch-up story for if this happens.
Know Your Local 911
It doesn’t hurt to know where your local police station is or if you’re a student, to memorize the campus police numbers. This can be a life saver because if you’re getting chased by some crusty ass stalker, you know you have a place to run to.
Safety Apps Do Exist
Now girls, definitely look into this one because this one is free! Apps like bSafe and SOS Stay Safe are apps that provide services like live tracking, sending emergency SOS messages to the local police, emergency alerts, fake phone calls and more so do your research!
