Answer 1

I would just start jogging and continue away from the crowd and not even look way. All they are doing is being leering and sexist men, who don't really care about the young girl's feelings and possibly feeling scared, which is sad in today's society.

Answer 2

It depends on the neighborhood really. I wouldn't be wearing top that grabs that much attention not that she has to cover up while working out but it's just not my style. But  I think that wearing t shirts and shorts would help me out more than wearing a super tight tank top.

I'd honestly just walk past them and hope they don't say anything to me or come up to me. I'd keep both hands in my pocket. One hand would have my keys between my fingers for a little extra umph if by some chance I get attacked. The other hand would be on the mace or cell phone depending on which I have with me.

I'd only use those things though if they grabbed me and tried to drag me away though.

Answer 3

Keep walking without making eye contact.

Answer 4

That women looks in shape and could probably kick 50cents, snoop dog, shaggy and akons *** easy.

Answer 5

Wahaha haaa. This is an all too familiar scene for me. It depends. If the guys call out I would say a quick and brief "hi" and pretend to be doing something else. If they dont say anything I won't either....just keep walking.

Answer 6

Oh, so women want to convene and expect to receive from men when YOU feel the want to do so- but you don't afford men the same?  4-5 strange dudes oogling you in public didn't phase you at all when you were at the dance club, or Hooters, or working that pole.

h**l, just for that, I might post some pics of me and some friends meeting girls at clubs where a similar situation played out--- yet they don't say the same things you were are here and now.

Answer 7

for me,

id most likely power walk past them ( not run )

and act like im on the phone with someone?

but thats just me

Answer 8

I'd probably "switch" my hips a little bit, seeing as how I find black men attractive!

Nah, if I felt intimidated or frightened being alone walking past a group of men, I might just keep walking without making eye-contact and without looking noticeably upset. If I see a group of people that look dangerous, I might cross the street before I cross their paths, if I see them far enough in advance. Some people give off that "dangerous vibe" that us women have been taught through society. In this day and age, if someone is wearing backwards ball caps, baggy pants and "bling", women are more concerned about their safety around them, whether the men are actually dangerous or not.

The thing is, if that were a group of white business men in suits, our answers would be totally different. We've been conditioned to be afraid of the "other" (the other race, the other s*x, the other belief system, etc.) It's hardwired into my system, even though I know it's wrong and it's a stereotype. I just can't help thinking I should always have my guards up, and I don't think I'm alone on that.

Edit: Sand, that chick is in WORK OUT clothes. She was clearly out for a run or a walk for exercise. What do you work out in, parkas, winter boots? She's asking for trouble? I didn't realize I had to wear a sheet over my body when I left my front door.

Answer 9

just walk straight past

if i saw them earlier i might cross the road, depending on what kind of area it is

edit

SAND and others - they're hardly attention seeking clothes she's wearing

gamble - what is your problem? you're not making any sense at all

Answer 10

There are five of them, just throw them a basketball.

Answer 11

At least one of them was white and one of them was black. The other three could be anything so I don't see what race has to do with this. Apart from that, by the way they are dressed, I'd keep going but make it a point to run in a park/better neighborhood next time. You know, the kind with kids playing and dogs getting walked instead of thugs loitering around.

Answer 12

I would just keep strutting along. I don't really see anything wrong with this picture. The guys are only doing what comes naturally when someone is walking towards you. They are watching & looking at her. I am trying not to read too much into this.

Answer 13

I look and dress like that and was a field nurse in a major multiple-ethnic metropolitan area.  I was a hospice RN, pre-AIDS cocktail, working the runaway epidemic, starting IV's under bridges and in homeless cardboard box homes in alleys, working constantly with a variety of gangs and drug dealers and in scuzzy crack houses.  Maybe it was because I was a nurse and maybe it was because I was trying to help them, but everytime I had to plow into a group of guys like that, even though I was always a little afraid, I tried to see them as individuals, really look into their eyes, really connect, and they sensed that I was real and respected them as real, too, non-judgemental.  I was harassed only twice, over opiates I had with me, which left with me, too, so I had some serious psychosocial skills that most people don't have.  I realized I was using up my odds, though.  Something was surely going to happen to me if I was always working the worse neighborhoods and streets, so I attended Wackenhut Security's street smarts educational classes for women's safety and learned all the statistical advantages and safest behaviors.  After completely avoiding such potentially dangerous situations,the best way for women to walk on streets safely is with an air of utter confidence, a walk of brisk (not nervous) PURPOSE.  Women who take assertiveness training couses (4-8 hours long usually . . .longer courses are better) are the least likely, statitically, to be attacked, harassed or raped on the streets.  That's because of that confidence and look of purpose which people gain in those courses.

I want to state LOUD and CLEAR here like they do on TV: Do NOT try this at home!!  : )  What I personally do when I'm in that situation today is glance they boy's way, smile genuinely, make that REAL eye contact and blow 'em a kiss as I briskly sachet on by.  I also have 30 years of martial arts training so, I can be a little flippant in such situations.  My pink taser is nice to have, too.

Edit:  What 50/ 50 said above is actually a great idea and works for people who have to be in these situations daily.  I always had stuff to give the guys, like pens on a rope, boxes of condoms, MacDonald's coupons, nerf balls, fancy shoestrings, etc.  Basketballs that I picked up at garage sales were actually the biggest hit.

Answer 14

I'd ignore them. If there was any funny business, I'd give them a death look.

Answer 15

I would never be in that situation because I don't go running dressed like an attention seeking *****.  She's dressing for that attention, so she deserves to get it.  There's no reason to sugarcoat the answer here.  A tank top is one thing, but if you're going running in public you should have enough sense not to dress like you're going clubbing.  Cover up the mid, or suffer the consequences.

Answer 16

Continue walking past them.

Answer 17

That is a little scary. They look like their in a gang. I would whip out my phone, call my husband/911 and walk fast....making sure that they weren't following me. I'm sure that just because they dress like a stereotypical gang, doesn't mean they are one, but just to be safe, I'd do all I can to not be attacked. I'd either call my husband or I'd dial 911 and put my finger on the "call" button ready to dial if needed. Or I'd get on the phone and act like I am talking to someone I can physically see and wave in a certain direction saying, "Hi! I can see you. You see me too?"

I have almost been abducted so I know what that fear is like.

Answer 18

Do?

Looks like she's walking, so, if I were walking, I'd be walking.

I don't get the question. A person can't stop living their lives becuase there are other people than them on the sidewalks.

Answer 19

I would try to act normal but I would up my rate a little and be ready to run and call out as load as  I can.
