rings
I read somewhere once about how sometimes attackers will try to befriend the victim first. Well, I seem to attrack a lot of men who want to be 'friendly' when we're on the subway. many strike up conversations with me and ask what stop I get off at, where I'm from (i always say from NY, not a lie!) etc etc. actions that i hope are innocent but you never know. I started wearing a ring that is only a simple band, similar to a wedding band, but i tell ya the unwanted attention has stopped dramatically. i even have co-workers asking me about my husband and kids bc they assume from the ring that i'm married and all. i kinda think of it as a prevantative measure if not a true self-defense strategy.
