As a female do you have the courage to walk alone in the dark?

[Vaccine001]

I have done so but rarely. It has always terrified me. What if i akways think to myself..

Always *

I'm not sure it's to do with bravery? More just good sense not to.

Nope

I think it is to for with bravery. A 20 minute walk means a cab for me as i wouldn't have the courage.

Well if I didn't, I wouldn't be able to go to the supermarket during the winter months. So no choice really.

No I don’t.
But then I don’t know if that’s a ‘female’ thing...none of my male friends do either

No. Never have.

It get s dark at 5 pm in winter.
How do you manage to only go out in daylight?

I have always done so without giving it a second thought tbh. I haven't always been able to drive or lived on bus routes, so walking places is second nature to me. In my mid 30s now and still walk on my own at night at times.

I walk in the dark, but will make a risk assessment and keep my wits about me.

I walk in the dark. Don't give it a second thought.

I do but I'm very aware of surroundings and people.
I walk tall and confident and don't look anyone in the eye.
When I lived in London I would call my Dh when I got off the train and talk until I got home. It was only 5-10 mins but you never know.
The time I felt most scared and was actually followed by a man it was broad daylight.

Yes, I walk lots at night.

Yes.

If I wasn't willing to walk alone in the dark, I would have missed out on a lot of things in my life. I live alone. I'd rarely go out if I didn't.

Yes, I keep my wits about me. But I do it.

Absolutely. It's not about courage for me. I enjoy being outdoors at all times and refuse to be controlled by fear.

Yes I walk in the dark

i do yes. i also run in the dark and walk in the woods during the day

i'm constantly aware, looking around etc and the dog is with me in the woods

i'm ex Met police. But i'm quite fearful these days

Embracelife ibhave. A reason I'm not telling you here. Ok? Please dont demand personal information

I walk and cycle in the dark. I remind myself that men are more likely to be violently attacked by a stranger.

Well it gets dark early in winter so yes I walk around in the dark. I don't do it late at night or in deserted area as that isn't brave, it's stupid.

Huge numbers of women have to everyday (and do it without incident). Getting to and from work, for example. Not everyone can drive or afford to run a car, and many workplaces don't have parking or it's too expensive.

Yes.

Yes I do. I'm not very attractive and I don't look like I have anything hing worth stealing. People have always left me alone.

Only with my dog
