Tip 10: Maintain Eye Contact

Another basic tip that you need is the fact that you can often keep aggressors at bay by holding their eye contact. You are seeing them and that in itself can be intimidating to those that consider attacking.

While we will go into more details about how to react to an aggressor, instead of putting your head down when someone looks at you or speaks to you, maintain their eye contact.

You should also do this as you walk past someone. Hold their eye contact so that they can see how confident and aware you are. This will help them to see you as a more problematic and hard to hit person. They are much more likely to find someone that is less prepared to care for themselves rather than to deal with you!

These tips can help you in their most basic form. Anyone that is faced with an aggressive target, though, needs more detailed instruction and for this we move on. Remember these basic things before moving forward:

• Don’t be alone any time you can avoid it.
• Do be aware of surroundings and stay out of bad ones.
• Do be confident and hold the eye contact of others.

Tip 9: Look Confident

Being confident is a key element to distracting and convincing a possible attacker not to bother with you. Hold your head up high. Keep your chin up. Pay attention to your surroundings.

Those that are easy targets are much more likely to be a target than those that are confident and aware of their situation. Be that confident person and you are less likely to become a target.

Tip 8: Don’t Get Into the Wrong Car

It sounds simple enough, but when your feet are killing you after a long day at work and you think you know the person pulling up next to you, it may seem like a good idea. If you think that this could not happen, here’s an example of a situation in which it did happen.

Laura was walking home from school. She was just 17 and looked like she was at least 25 as most teens her age look. She saw a car pull over to the side of the street. She recognized the driver as someone that had been to her home. Later she found out he was a friend of a friend of her brother’s. He was not someone that she knew nor did her family know. Yet, he was able to get her into his car.

Laura was able to get away from her attacker because she was in a fairly business neighborhood when he pulled to the side of the street. But, she is lucky because if he had gone just a few more miles, she would never have had the help of the neighbors to save her.

If you need a ride and do not have one, consider getting a taxi or taking public transportation buses. If you get into someone’s car, even someone that you believe that you know, you could be putting yourself in a very dangerous situation and letting your guard down.

Tip #7: Dress Conservatively

As women, we want to be beautiful and to have amazing looking clothing. The problem with this is that it puts you at a greater risk when you do have it on. For this reason, do not wear anything that is overly revealing.

Some men, the bad type of course, see provocative clothing as an invitation to touch or be near to you. Do not bring attention to yourself with the clothing that you are wearing. Keep yourself safe by avoiding these problematic situations and you are likely to find yourself in a safer situation overall.

A tip here is to keep those beautiful clothes for times when you know that you will be going some place where they are properly appreciated. Wear more conservative items when you could be put into dangerous situations.

In addition to this, plan your wardrobe appropriately. For example, if you will be going for a walk in the park after work, plan to wear light clothing that allows you to easily move around in it. This allows you the freedom of being able to move quickly in situations that require it. Problem types of clothing include tight skirts, tight pants and high heeled shoes.

All of these things keep you from moving easily and that means that you are likely to be put in a situation where you could be left in the hands of the attacker.

Nearly all strategies for escaping dangerous situations require that you run. If you can not easily run in the clothing that you are wearing, you will be at the hands of your attacker.
