Not true. It's a risk analysis. The risk may be high, but some women still think the potential benefit is worth it.

It's why so many people still play the lottery.

But the risk isn't high. Sure, it happens, but for any arbitrary person the chance to be murdered on a date is pretty much 0.

The risk is high in consequences, not frequency.

Besides, murder isn't the only risk, you know.
