How dangerous is it really for a girl to go for a walk at 3am with headphones on?

I'd never walk around with headphones on no matter what time of day it is.

The second anyone sees the cords attaching to the headphones it makes you a target. Someone can easily get the drop on you because you're basically advertising that you're not paying attention to your surrounding. You might be able to defend yourself ordinarily but you might have some trouble if they throw you to the ground and bounce your head off the concrete before you realize it.

The only advantage to walking with headphones on during the day is that there might be someone near by to help you if you're being attacked.

I dont think being able to hear someone attack you would make much of a difference, so your headphones shoudnt be in the equation, however walking around at 3am on your own is dangerous, can even be so for guys, let alone a girl.

Kind of, though I think by that time most of the rapists and murderers are all tucked up in bed.

Is there anyone else you work with that can give you a lift home instead?

You probably can get robbed or raped depends where you live, like in Brooklyn walk around 3am with headphones they are gone.But some suburb community or something you might get raped or hit by a drunk driver.

It is definitely dangerous. No matter where you are there's still danger lurking somewhere. If you know it's not safe or smart, maybe you shouldn't do it. :?

Why do you want to walk alone? Can't you find someone to go with?

very dangerous as you have to keep your eyes looking for cars

depending on the area.

but i'd say its like jumping in a shark tank while on your period.

it depends on the area, ask your local night watchers

headphones! not a good idea, weirdo's take advantage of that
