Through a Rapist's Eyes
A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:
1) The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun, braid or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets. 2) The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who's clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing. 3) They also look for women on their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered. 4) The time of day men are most likely to attack and rape a woman is in the early morning, between 5 and 8:30 a.m. 5) The number one place women are abducted from/attacked at is grocery store parking lots. Number two is office parking lots/garages. Number three is public restrooms. 6) The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don't have to worry about getting caught. 7) Only 2% said they carried weapons because rape carries a 3-5 year sentence but rape with a weapon is 15-20 years. 8) If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that you isn't worth it because it will be time-consuming. > > > 9) These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas, or > other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands. > Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the > attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys > you're not worth it. > > > 10) Several defense mechanisms he taught us are: If someone is following > behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or > stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time > is it, or make general small talk, I can't believe it is so cold out here, > we're in for a bad winter. Now you've seen their face and could identify > them in a line-up, you lose appeal as a target. > > > 11) If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you > and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said > they'd leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be > afraid to fight back. > > > Again, they are looking for an EASY target. > > > 12) If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it > and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and > holding it out will be a deterrent. > > > 13) If someone grabs you, you can't beat them with strength but you can > by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, > pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in > the upper inner thigh -- HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told > him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her > and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands - > the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as > you can stand it; it hurts. > > > 14) After the initial hit, always go for the groin.. I know from a > particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy's parts it is > extremely painful. You might think that you'll anger the guy and make him > want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is > that they want a woman who will not cause a lot of trouble. Start causing > trouble, and he's out of there. > > > 15) When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers > and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down > on them as possible.. The instructor did it to me without using much > pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly. > > > 16) Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of > your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd > behavior, don't dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel a little > silly at the time, but you'd feel much worse if the guy really > was trouble. |

That was really interesting and useful. Nobody should feel stupid to be paranoid about that because its a serious issue. I think digging a finger as hard as u could into a guys eye would fuck them up good and hopefully they would go blind becuase of it :finger: . I know a few girls that were raped and its not something anyone can get over easily

Well its good info to know, all females should know what to expect, but, all the guys who were interviewed probably didnt give good ways to do it, cause there all in JAIL??? So if anyone wants to use these ways, People will catch you, and guess what bubba is waiting for you.
