WHAT AN ABSOLUTE QUEEN FOR THIS

a tutorial on rescuing someone from an uncomfortable or dangerous situation

Damn. She did everything right. Yes, this is dangerous. But even a violent man is still human and can be outplayed. Predators rely on a pattern or routine. Disrupt the routine, and the predator freezes up. Once you disrupt them, don’t give them time to develop a response. Be bold. Be decisive. Talk loud. Act fast.

How should I approach this as a man? I wouldn’t want to make her more uncomfortable but I also wouldn’t be able to physically intimidate anyone because I’m short and un-athletic.

Talking to the woman is going to be hit or miss, just because she won’t know if you are an “out if the frying pan, into the fire” situation. BUT, you could still go with “thanks for waiting, you ready to go? Oh, who’s this?” And if she walks with you, you can say that she looked uncomfortable. I had a guy once ask if I could help with his phone to get me away from a conversation. OR: talk to the dude. “Hey man, can you give me directions to this place? Don’t I know you from somewhere?” Etc. Then she has time to escape. There are no set in stone answers, even if you don’t handle it perfect, if she gets out of the situation safely, count it as a win

Thank you for the response!!

Talking to the dude works!

One of my colleagues spotted a woman facing slightly away from a man who was talking to her, who was scary close. She looked uncomfortable and made eye contact. He noticed the guy was wearing a Broncos jacket and nonchalantly passed them both by and started the sports speak to the dude, like “aw bro did you see the defense last night? Hell of a time to he a Bronco fan, right?” And stood slightly behind the guy so he had to turn away from the woman. She said a cheeky “I’m not into sports, g'night!” comment and slipped away to the elevator. The dude looked super pissed but just stalked away to his car.

What was he supposed to do, admit to bad intentions?

Sometimes you don’t need to be the savior, but a distraction.
