I've recently started paying attention to Dangerous, then I coincidentally crossed Watchful 100 and started my path to becoming a PoSI. The thing is, Dangerous is a pain in the ass to raise and it currently lies at 58, 59 if you don't count the effect of clothing. Are there any options to grind or raise Dangerous appropriately?

This one is pretty long, but if your Name Scrawled in Blood quality is 3 or above, it's pretty effective at getting your dangerous to unmodified 100, so do read on.
At Watchmaker's Hill is the storylet Making Your Name: The Fighting Rings. Each rings give you extra Dangerous CPs up until a certain level:
The Ring of Meat: gives 20CP dangerous up to level 60, costs 100 rostygold (1.00 echo)
The Ring of Roses: gives 25CP dangerous up to level 70, costs 5 tale of terror (2.50 echo)
The Painted Ring: gives 30CP dangerous up to level 80, costs 3 presbyterate passphrase (7.50 echo)
Now, what you want to do is to grind the ring of meat repeatedly until your dangerous reaches 60, at which point it will no longer give bonus CPs. So, you simply unequip any dangerous equipment, and repeat until your UNMODIFIED dangerous is 60. AND THEN, you equip a TALKATIVE RATTUS FABER (buy it at the bazaar) plus any other dangerous reducing items, and you grind the ring of meat again and again until you reach level 60 even with all your stat reduction gear.
Don't take off those gears yet! The ring of meat gives you tale of terrors, so you should have enough to grind through the ring of roses until it stops giving extra CPs. Then you proceed to the painted ring until it also stops giving bonus CPs.
Do this correctly, and you'll hit Dangerous 100 soon enough. Do take care of any wounds, though. Wish you luck!

Making Your Name: Dangerous 5 in the Docks. First you have to deal with some spiders...
That's for the Black Ribbon. I don't know about Mr Inch yet.

The rat you want is the cheapest one - 0.80 echoes.

I'm at wounds 6, and currently grinding The Fighting Rings. I've found "Deal with Unfinished Men" gives rostygold for free, which pisses me off since I spent about 60 echoes on rostygold, but it's all good.
A lot of us had to use Patrons just to go from 71 to 100 or use very boring slow storyetts before Making Your Name. This includes most paths (until you got high enough for the Black Ribbon Society and up) paying you crap and even costing you a lot of resources just to advance on pre-PoSI stuff. Consider yourself lucky you're in this generation's carousel, and not previous ones. (And save up that Rostygold; you'll need I believe, twelve thousand to "Advance" your Gang of Hoodlums in the Sidestreets to a new storyette when you are a PoSI. (For my Pre-PoSi alts, they are driving me nuts at the forced grinding I now must do on the storyetts I did one cycle of on an older main and alt, but I'll be thankful for all Jade and Rostygold come post-PoSI times with them. The secrets all went to the Watchful expeditions however.)

First, the ring-fights at Watchmaker's, second the Black Ribbon at the Docks. There are a lot of opportunities to grind Dangerous at the Docks. A few sparring bouts and a mentor would help, too. How far advanced are you in Making Your Name (Dangerous)?

I recommend getting some training from the Tomb-Colonists on their faction card, and also from the Docks faction card, though that's not as good. And for such a low level of Dangerous you can also take advantage of the "Tough" training profession until you hit 71.
