Serial killers have often relied on this to easily overtake their victims.
I’m a retired cop and we had a serial killer who, even though was a black man, was able to charm his way into victims trust. He slaughtered numerous women because of their trust before he was finally caught. Almost all of his victims were white, good looking, well to do women.
My point is, one cannot trust anyone based on perception! Trust no one but yourself and never get caught off guard.

There are white female serial killers, black spree shooters, and Asian dolts who do poorly in school, but that isn’t the way to bet. Despite what the PC morons say, profiling is important too. Some strangers are more likely to be threat than others. Street survival requires careful selection of where you go. If it’s a “bad part of town” don’t go there! Public places in particular require training, situational awareness, trusting your gut, and ultimately as the old joke says, if necessary, being prepared to kill everyone you meet.

Pay attention, words can distract, a handsome face or beauty of face and body is a lie. Read , the Gift of Fear. We ALL have survival instincts. Pay attention to them. They are often right.
