I know most Dom's, who insist (and at times demand) that any sub they meet have a safe call, then don't take the same precautions themselves. That to me makes no sense. Can I over power a man with physical strength? Probably not. Could I drug him or have a friend waiting to ambush him.... absolutely. (NOT that I would but you get the point...)

Anytime, you are meeting someone new, no matter how you met, your role, or your sex, in my mind, a safe call is the only way to go!
But we learn how to handle crazy chicks at a very young age. You'd be surprised how many girls are secretly lunatics who don't reveal them selves until after the sex. Or even during. All that's really needed is to hide knives.
