Going on a date didn't automatically mean you were getting laid. Most of the women, at least here where I live, had morals and respected themselves. Didn't want to be thought of as whores. The "fat" people back then would not be considered fat by today's standards. Even the fatso's then were in better condition than most normies today! When I was in the 7th and 8th grade I wanted to play sports. Practice was after school but I didn't have a ride home. Folks just didn't have gas money for stuff like that. So I would practice, then walk home. About 3 and a half miles of 2 different state highways, then another 2 and a half miles of county roads. Never once worried about a thing! You could get in a fight at school and not get in huge trouble. It was considered a normal part of growing up.
Walking home, that's what I want for my children
It was safe back then.
In the 70's I had a newspaper route. Walked or road my bike all over the place! One older woman was drunk every time I went to her house. She always paid me double for a paper. The little country store was a hundred yards down the road from her house. I would take her extra quarter and a quarter of my own and get a coke and a candy bar. 50 cents would get you a cold drink and a snickers.
Pretty cool.
I did that in the 90s during the crack days in Philly. We walked home in groups, but it never felt dangerous, it was more like "that guy looks like a crackhead, lets cross the street."
Plus there were a bunch of real nosey Italian and Irish housewives on the walk home who would watch the streets from their front doors and yell at shady niggers.
Nice
