Is it really safe to get into a random guy's car

U are just a random girl...!

Guys, is it dangerious to get into an unknown girl's car. Do u accept wen a girl offer u a ride?

Inked_Nerd:

Stop grouping us o!

Inked, I must say though that same thing came to my mind, but I has to refrain from generalising as you have rightly noted. But I must say though that the numbers aren't in your favour. ;-)

@Poster,
If you come from a background where you or your peeps aren't financially stable enough to own / buy a car, is that a reason to be stupid and toy with your life?

I dont think there is any difference between you and a child that wants to steal meat from his mothers pot asking whether its wrong or right.moreover if you were that attrac tive you would use your real pic for your profile:@

I never get into peoples car. .but yesterday some really sweet Nigerian guy i met @ a Nigerian restaurant. .offered me a ride 2 the grocery story. .I know he wwanted to ask me out on the way but I just had 2 say no

but he was really nice and I am quite sure he had no bad intention

Hun hun it is melodious

These little guyz in nairaland wont cease to amaze me. For a guy to even offer a lady a free ride is just simple courtesy, I for one have to check out a lady to make sure she is a model type to enter my ride. I dont just offer rides to street girls. Nothing is wrong about it baby gurl. And there are no such things like ritual killings these days cos there are better ways of making millions than do dirty smelly rituals

T

Ekans: Nigerian ladies with there desire for freebies,they never want to work for anything. Poster, for that free ride,there is a price and i pray its not ur life or health.PEACE.

pls concentrate on d poster nt ladies kk,dnt generalize

No!
It is the safest thing to do.

It is not advisable to jump into un known guy's car because it might be sometimes dangerous, but depending on ur mood, u might try it if u like the guy or sometime, there is an adage which says if we close our eyes to allow bad guys to pass, gud onces will pass too un detected. Wish u luck.... I lifted a lady back in the days which she is now my wife with children.

onila: WHY r people acting like they have not entered into a random guys car before or someone u just met

Because people generally do not go out entering peoples cars. What are you on sef? If you don't have a car you walk or you used public transportaion.

It is the safest and fastest means of transportation to your pants

baby its safe i think u ve d right to lose ur neck or any other essential body parts to any one u chose.even to a stranger.go girll

I cant count the number of times i'v used free rides.

Bad intention? I hope you don't categorise hardcore bulala as 'bad intention'. If a man offers a lift to a hot young chick (but doesn't do same for a plain jane or a fellow man), it's safe to believe that his intentions are almost entirely amorous/carnal. . . .would you call that "bad intention"?

You should totally get in ... whats the worse that can happen ... you said it yourself ... get killed or raped ... if you'r really lucky they can use you for rituals .... so abeg nothing do you next time a stranger offers you a ride ... get in ...

poster - didn't your parents teach you not to talk to strangers.

na wah for some questions an "adult" will wake up and ask online

The thread is interesting.

Ifa man fa ni lapo ya. Be careful.

Just continue with it but one thing I am sure of is; someday, somewhere, somehow you will not go Scot free by doing that cos I know every Guy out there cannot be Mr Nice Guy.

Make I no lie b4 I got married I entered a couple of free rides . Looking back now, I realise it was just plain stewpid because you can't pick out a rapist or a killer from his face. And I kept wondering if girls were so jobless cos I'd be like, I'm going to Surulere and the bloke keeps saying 'oh let's stop at Ikeja for drinks. ' And I'm like ' you think I got dressed, left my house to hang out with someone I no know. Geez I was stewpid'

With everything one sees and hears on the News, this is one mistake I have vowed not to make.

I was just thinking of this topic this afternoon. Any girl that i decide to pick up and give a lift will receive serious, SERIOUS sermon from me. Most girls are just to carefree,haba. If it was abroad the worst that will happen is violation, here in nigeria you might live to tell the story. Just take a walk, bike or bus, haba. Most nigerian women just LOVE comfort. Work for it women. Chai.

Abi o! see hypocrites.
Some of these even girls go to a random guys house they just met,sleep with him b4 even knowing his NAME

Wen my spirit accepts d offer i enter bt if it doesn't i dnt enter.i hv accepted such offer b4 nd found out dat d man stays on d same street with me and that made us friends.so its harmful nd equally harmless.

hmmm, i hv entered free ride, once in a while you get strandd, sometimes i thank God for providing the free ride. I always hold onto my rosery and pray through out the ride.

. U see wat i mean?its nt always harmful bt u hv to be careful too.

If free rides was that dangerous,then alm$ost all corpers shud be dead cos dats wat they depend  most times.free rides is nt limited to gurls ,guys r also involved.

Ok. The poster's question sure reeks of stupidity. Even children know that it's dangerous to talk to strangers. Yet the poster, who I believe is over 20 years old, is asking if it's ok to jump into the vehicle of one. Sure, go ahead. Oh btw, the last time I checked, ritualists and kidnappers were equally "sweet".

@OP
Perhaps what you want to do is stir up a discuss or see peep's reaction/attitude to what appears to be a risky behaviour. To start with rapists and murderers dont usually drive around town hoping their victim will flag them down. They will usually have planned and targetted their victims. I will say most of the time its safe but realise u take a risk each time.

I give lifts occasionally. Especially if she is alone (beautiful) and in a place I feel her security may be threatened. The most annoying thing is that every girl you help expect you to toast her or give her your number. When you dont, mood turns sour. These days I pretty much like to keep to myself and let area boys have her.

You could also use your intuition. Fashi his sweetness, his handsomeness or ugliness. Fashi his ride.

Use your intuition. Some are safe, some are not.

Still, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Screw them, then. You know you have good intentions, you took them away from certain danger, who cares what their reaction is? Or maybe you could just try and make friends with them.
