The MOST important one on the list is if you're at a party or going outside of a club or anywhere at night, try to travel in a group or try to stay in a public area. Rapists and creeps try to find isolated people, they rarely or probably never bother people in groups.
Smiles are toxic, don't fall for a charming guy but watch for positive signs from them: Help you find your friends, back off when you say no, or offer to walk you home (not ask to go back to their place)
All these things can work unless you are in Germany, on New Years Eve and outside. Then all this mytake is useless, because you'll end up surrounded by hundreds of men and police just watching.
" Guys should know when, where, and how it's appropriate to hit on a girl, as well as recognize the signs that a girl does not want to be hit on (i. e. one-word answers, no eye contact, no flirting back)."
Which is why women really need to learn to approach and hit on guys instead.
totally disagree with "listen to music" it may stop some guy from trying to talk to you, but it'll work to your disadvantage for someone who actually wants to rape you. Instead be vigilant and aware of your surroundings. try to use public roads.
Never wear headphones. You could get attacked. They make you an easier target.

DONT YOU KNOW THAT BY TELLING GIRLS HOW TO BE SAFE, IF THEY ARE ATTACKED AND DID NONE OF THESE THINGS, IT MEANS YOU ARE BLAMING THE VICTIM? #feminists-believe-this
Being a (offensive) arts instructor, #2 is not ever your best choice to subdue. Many uncanny reasons why. Seems as (defense ) instructors fail to be honest to women about this subject. Just saying...

Great take!
But never listen to music.. instead talk to someone on the phone.. but still be very aware of the surronding :)

well done.
Staying in groups and ALWAYS being aware of your surroundings is the best advice.
You also should have a designated sober person. Before Uber, that used to be the DD. Now, everyone can get shit faced and stop paying attention.

My buddy, who's a small guy, carries a knife with him
Why does he carries a knife with him? He feels larger men will try and rape him?
@notsoromantic he's been attacked and mugged before

You're safer at night in a park or in an empty street than in a dance hall or at a party with mostly drunk college guys.
3. That might work, or it might get you mugged for your phone.
5. Headphones in but no music, so you can hear what's going on around you.
Your post serves a double purpose - it is also a good post (1-6, specifically) on "How to avoid meeting guys".
Except for the dog part - I love dogs.

A very sad commentary that this is even necessary. But I know it is. :(
Get a fucking concealed carry if you're this fucking terrified of going outside. Christ, that's why we have these laws.

I think free speech is still free speech and you can disengage at any time.
Please get off your feminist soap box.
So approaching a girl at night is a bad idea? What if she/he is the One? What if it's your prince charming looking for his princess?
Good points except for #5 listening to music. That could very easily get you raped. Serial rapists target women who are preoccupied.
