I know that I was once in a situation where I needed to defend myself against a male and I could not.
Sometimes (not always) but sometimes your body knows best. I think you should always just try as much as you can but sometimes it is unwise to try to much.
I would have been badly hurt even today if I had told myself I was strong enough to fight him. Badly hurt. Thank god I was in a public place and very near to a police station.
Always be careful about where you go. And know your physical limits. There are somethings you can not do...lol dont just jump off cliffs and hope to fly.
But to test your limits when you are not in real danger is usually a good thing. But yea like I said I was in a situation, and if I did not back down, I would have been hurt..even to today.. so dont always fight.. but dont always give up either..
It is tricky but often your body knows how far you can go. In my situation I screamed.. really loud but if I had moved too much I would have been cut.
But if you are in a situation where you can use your legs. Use them.
As far as training goes, if you can afford it then I guess you would have to hire someone to personally train you.
I dont think it is a bad thing if you end up with a guy who you feel safer around. It is good to feel safe around your guy, once you can trust him then you are fine.

I tried to join the Guardian Angels a year or two ago, they told me I couldn't do rounds, and instead had to sit at mission control and listen to the walkie-talkies or go with the leader in his car on his rounds.
I took that to mean that they felt I wasn't capable...
