jumping the subway in nyc is a bitch though, i recommend walking to the good stations or moving to a city where its easier. when you're poor and anarchist you can go to any city whenever u want

just do the comical kneeling walk under it. FTW

when i was in athens the subway was so easy to jump i kept doing it by accident. just poles that you could walk by and a line on the floor. paris on the other hand was ridiculous, you had to go under a turnstyle and then squeeze through a door while a dude watched you the whole time. and thats why the greeks deserve austerity

I just nicked a m8's wallet here in the states and used his college ID as a means to ride free public transport. Alas, stealing is wrong.

WILLISTON, N.D. -- Christina Knapp and a friend were drinking shots at a bar in a nearby town several weeks ago when a table of about five men called them over and made an offer.

They would pay the women $3,000 to strip naked and serve them beer at their house while they watched mixed-martial arts fights on television. Knapp, 22, declined, but the men kept raising the offer, reaching $7,000.

"I said I make more money doing my job than degrading myself to do that," said Knapp, a tattoo artist with dark streaks in her light brown hair, a bird tattoo on her chest and piercings above her lip and left cheekbone.

The rich shale oil formation deep below the rolling pastures here has attracted droves of young men to work the labor-intensive jobs that get the wells flowing and often generate six-figure salaries. What the oil boom has not brought, however, are enough single women to provide balance.

At work, at housing camps and in bars and restaurants, men have been left to mingle with their own kind. High heels and skirts are as rare around here as veggie burgers. Some men liken the environment to the military or prison.

"It's bad, dude," said Jon Kenworthy, 22, who moved to Williston from Indiana in early December. "I was talking to my buddy here. I told him I was going to import from Indiana because there's nothing here."

Many women said they felt unsafe. Several said they could not even shop at the local Walmart without men following them through the
store. Girls' night out usually becomes an exercise in fending off obnoxious, overzealous suitors who often flaunt their newfound wealth.

"So many people look at you like you're a piece of meat," said Megan Dye, 28, a nearly lifelong Williston resident. "It's disgusting. It's gross."

Prosecutors and the police note an increase in crimes against women, including domestic and sexual assaults.

"There are people arriving in North Dakota every day from other places around the country who do not respect the people or laws of North Dakota," said Ariston Johnson, the deputy state's attorney in neighboring McKenzie County, in an email.

Over the past six years, North Dakota has shot from the middle of the pack to become the state with the third highest ratio of single young men to single young women in the country. In 2011, nearly 58 percent of North Dakota's unmarried 18- to 34-year-olds were men, according to census data. That disparity was even starker in the three counties where the oil boom is heaviest -- there were more than 1.6 young single men for every young single woman.

Some women have banked on the female shortage. Williston's two strip clubs attract dancers from around the country. Prostitutes from out of state troll the bars.

Natasha, 31, an escort and stripper from Las Vegas, is currently on her second stint here after hearing how much money strippers made in Williston. "We make a lot of money because there's a lot of lonely guys," she said.

On a recent night at City Bar in nearby Watford City, the only women in the long, wood-paneled room were two bartenders and the woman running the karaoke. Under flashing lights, some of the male patrons huddled at the bar, while others played games like simulated buck shooting and darts.

Sensitivity is often absent here when men discuss women. Here, men talk of a "Williston 10" -- a woman who would be considered mediocre in any other city is considered a perfect 10 out here.

"I've noticed my standards dropping," said Ian Hernandez, 24, who moved to Williston from Chicago a couple of months ago. "I just went home two weeks ago. I saw the girls I had planned to see. That, hopefully, should hold me off until I go back next time in two months or so."
