Guys, do you get scared outside at night alone?

Question

tell the truth

DryGermanGuy · Accepted Answer

No. I have walked through dozens of cities at night alone, foreign and domestic. The outskirts wildlife can be scarier (I encountered wild boars and a pack of stray dogs).

molonski2 · Accepted Answer

It's very safe here ( I don't ) but I could easily walk home intoxicated at 4am and all would be fine. I'm a Never , never was scared in Australia 🦘 either..

NathanDavis · Answer

I never have... and that wasn't a good thing, maybe... lol

I was too curious as a kid, so I would always go out at night, in the dark and look around to see what I could find... both my grandma and great-grandma had/lived in big lands and as much as I was told that the "lechuzas", the chupacabra, witches or el diablo himself would come and get me... I never really believed that stuff

as a teen, I never had my own car, or any car I could just go and take off... so I would walk out to anywhere or take the buses, get off and keep walking to everywhere in the middle of the night, often alone... till I made it to friends or whatever

and when I was 20 or so, I went around places and street that I should probably have not walked alone too late at night but oh well... I was lucky that my "calculated risks" never really tested me that much, lol

funny thing was that... I could see others might have been scared of me, when they realized I had been walking right behind them in the dark of the night, and they never really noticed me, lmao...

MrOracle · Answer

Rarely, but it happens. I don't go out to dangerous places at night very often, but situations do arise occasionally. I'm big enough and alert enough that most criminals would probably just choose someone else, but not all criminals are rational, and in groups, all bets are off.

Many women don't realize that men are twice as likely to be attacked on the streets than women are. It's less safe for us, not more, because violent criminals are much more ready and willing to use violence against other men.

If I have to be in a dangerous situation, I keep my situational awareness very high and I move swiftly and purposefully to the next safe location. That doesn't guarantee safety but it certainly increases my odds. I've trained my family and my girlfriend to do the same, and we have safety procedures and code words in place.

I live in Chicago with many a mean streets... On the Southwest side which is the "scary side".. Even though the area I live in is more quiet than anything, it's still pretty shady.. I've encountered some dangerous situations, but I work late nights and I used to take 4am trips to the gas station, so while I am very cautious and get nervous whenever a car slows down near me, I guess you can say that I'm not scared..

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

I'm a big guy, I know people want to fight me. I'll walk at night in the city and catch people eyeing me. Like they're deciding to jump me from behind.

Literally the other day I was having a smoke on a dark sidewalk in Paterson. Got a weird feeling about this guy so I walked inbetewwn two cars and watched him through the reflection on the windshield and I don't think he could tell what I was doing because he turned around and stared at me for a minute till I turned my head and looked him in the eye.

Like nice try buddy 😂

RandomGirl42 · Answer

Lolol! Oh, I love the gif you used! 🤣 And no, I really don't 'cuz I live in a really rural area and all we really have to worry about here is a rabid raccoon or coyotes or stuff like that. And I'm a girl! 🤣

Scared no, in some districts I'm vigilant though

Levin · Answer

It's true to say that the UK has lost its status as a high trust society.

Having said that, where I live is, touch wood, pretty safe.

If I'm in the city, and roaming around at 11pm, of course I'm more vigilant.

Jackblue · Answer

Yes, you might imagine that we don't but I do, specificially if I encounter one other man alone on a quiet road. I am not a big guy and if this guy wanted to mug me he potentially could. I am also scared if I see a woman alone that she will get scared and think I am a creep.

Iron_Man · Answer

No I don’t at all unless I’m walking through the hood then you will be robbed that happened to me before many years ago, but justice was served they got him with police dogs it took two hours though, but I stayed there the whole time and then we had to go to court then he finally pleaded guilty

RavVid · Answer

There are quite toxic night snakes but hey! Its Australia so you should always be conscious of where you are putting your feet.

Staximus · Answer

When I’m in mountain lion country at night. My gun might not be any good if one sneaks up and gets the jump on me, and they are sneaky bastards. There’s a few bears but you’ll hear them coming.

OneViewpoint · Answer

Nope. In a city. On the side of a mountain. In a jungle or a desert. I’ve spent lots of time wandering around in the dark and sleeping on the ground in the dark. Not reall that scary for me.

Finchie40 · Answer

I wouldn’t say scared , but there were times I was skeptical and nervous that something bad might happen , it also depended on where I was at at the time.

DonaldDarko · Answer

Maybe not as much as I should. I get creeped out sometimes hiking in remote arias or riding my bike late at night. But, I still stay out there and do it anyway.

glennos89 · Answer

No I dont have to worry outside at night. Most people rather leave me alone then to come and brother me. I have been told by a lot of people that I dont look very friendly and not very approachable

Nikki1989 · Answer

Only when I lived in the United States and was walking home from places. It's never been an issue living here.

indissoluble · Answer

Nope. In White neighborhoods the crime is low and I don't have to worry about my neighbors. In Black neighborhoods, I'm White and everyone that lives there thinks I'm the police so they run like cockroaches and hide.

Brady · Answer

Never, I used 2 work outside alone. When I went home I wood walk a few minutes 2 the parkin lot. I used 2 watch tree crime programs then about them catching murderers.

exitseven · Answer

Never. I do not go out in the city and I stick to my neighborhood generally.

BobbieBoy666 · Answer

Yes, It's spooky dark outside

KostasKouvalis · Answer

It depends where I am. If it's dimly lit and deserted, then yes

whosnumber_1 · Answer

No. But I'm also careful about never putting myself into a place I can't get out of

georgeboy2006 · Answer

Nope lol 😆 what about you?

sirderpsalot123 · Answer

Not really, but It's stupid and it makes me more at risk for getting attacked/robbed or something because I'm less aware of my surroundings.

msc545 · Answer

I never get scared in the dark outside alone. I find the darkness very comforting. I far prefer the darkness to the daylight.

LC75LC71 · Answer

I've physically had fear beat out of me. So no.

NoDecision · Answer

Pussies! Maybe they need to take mommy with them.
