@maxlom_notes: 1. After interviewing violent offenders, researchers found that clothing was rarely the deciding factor when they described choosing a target. Many talked instead about small behaviors that suggested someone might be easier to approach, isolate, or intimidate without attracting attention. 2. The way someone walks often mattered more than their appearance. Hesitant movements, constantly looking at the ground, appearing lost, or seeming mentally somewhere else were repeatedly described as signs of vulnerability. Predators often search for the path that looks easiest, not the person who looks most attractive. 3. Distraction can quietly change how someone is perceived. Looking down at a phone, wearing headphones, or being completely absorbed in something else reduces awareness of what’s happening nearby. That doesn’t cause crime, but it can make an offender believe they have a better chance of succeeding unnoticed. 4. Confidence isn’t about looking fearless or acting aggressive. Simple behaviors like walking with purpose, noticing your surroundings, and responding quickly to unexpected situations can signal that you are alert. Offenders often avoid uncertainty because it increases the risk of being interrupted or identified. 5. None of this means responsibility belongs to the victim. The responsibility always lies with the person who chooses to commit the crime. Understanding how predators look for opportunities isn’t about blaming women-it’s about recognizing patterns that researchers and offender interviews have revealed for decades. 💭 Which everyday habit do you think makes people look more vulnerable than they realize? 🔔 Follow for more about psychology, human behavior, and hidden social patterns.

That’s why not a single soul approached me, when I walk alone. I walk with purpose, confidence and awareness looking straight into everyone’s eyes. And I’m an attractive person.

67 yrs old here. I was raised to walk like you have a purpose & that you own the place! When I use my cell, I stop to use it, I don't walk while looking at it or text. And I'm ALWAYS aware of my surroundings & a way to get safe. Having to be prepared for any type of assault is not new. I've passed this down to my daughters & they passed it to my grand daughters.

The worst thing we can do is be wrapped up in our phones while we’re walking around. I don’t even ever let myself wear both ear buds - only one - so I can still hear my surroundings.

My daughter used to look at me weird if we were walking down a sidewalk and I had to stop to use my phone. I always stop and put my back to a wall before using my phone. When she asked why I told her because predators will use your distraction with your phone to try and come at you. With my back to a wall they have to approach where I can see them. Because I’m aware of my surroundings they are less likely to approach me. Now she is 22 and does the same thing, but so does my 14 year old son. I’ve taught him the same things. Situational awareness is key to survival.

Not only do I walk with my head high, but I make it a point to make eye contact and say hi to anyone I feel uneasy coming near me.

Situational awareness! Always scan, walk with purpose and confidence. But also take other precautions like not going running by yourself through isolated areas. Don’t take short cuts where no population.

I walk with a 90 pound German Shepherd and I regularly tell people she is working so she cannot stop for okay time. I also do NOT move out of the way in the sidewalk with her. I walk with purpose and let people move out of my way.

That’s why I’ve stopped wearing headphones in public. I used not be able to leave the house without music to listen to but now I’d much rather be fully aware of my surroundings.
