What can make a predator perceive me as a victim?
When you're out in public, you could either be viewed as a potential victim or not a good choice for a predator. It all depends on how you handle yourself, how you appear and how you're dressed. Sometimes as simple as how you walk. Let me give you an example: If you pull into a parking lot, you could pull in and park in the space and you could be very alert. Before you get out of the car you look all around, make sure there's no young men standing around within 100 feet, for example. You can get in and out of your car quickly. You could walk with authority to your destination, and again, be alert of your surroundings. The opposite of that is, pulling into a parking space, opening your car door, let it stand open while you're gathering packages and bags, talking on the cell phone, going into the truck of your car with your back to the world, and just not paying attention to your surroundings. Those are the kinds of people predators like and they look for those kinds of people. They will wait until they find one of those. If you know what predators look for you can decide whether you're going to be a victim or not.
