I've noticed a lot of females on this forum and i want to share this email my dad sent me this morning i think it is importante for evereyone to be prepaired and painfully aware.
Through a Rapist's Eyes (No Joke)
This is important information for females of ALL ages .
When this was sent to me, I was told to forward it to my lady friends, but I forwarded it to most everyone in my address book. My men friends have female friends and this
information is too important to miss someone.
Please pass it along.
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 sp ecifically 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) Men are most likely to attack & rape in the early morning, between 5:00a.m. and 8:30a.m.
5) The number one place women are abducted from/attacked 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 another 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.
cool 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 going after 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) S everal defense mec hanisms 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), yell I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and< /FONT> 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 VERY VERY 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 painfu l. 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!!!
&nb sp;
You may feel a little silly at the time, but you'd feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.
&nb sp;
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!
2.Learned this from a tourist guide in New Orleans . If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you....chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3.If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won't see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.
4.Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc.) DON'T DO THIS!The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.
&n bsp;
a. If someone is in the car with a gun to your head DO NOT DRIVE OFF, repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF! Instead gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking th e car. Your Air Bag will save you. If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it. As soon as the car crashes bail out and run. It is better than having them find your body in a remote location.
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot or parking garage:
A.) Be aware: look around you, look i nto your car, at the passenger side floor, and in the back seat.
B.) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack the ir victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
C.) Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may w ant to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out.
< BR>IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot. This is especially true at NIGHT!)
7. I f the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times. And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN, preferably in a zigzag pattern!
8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP! It may get you raped or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well-educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked "for help" into his vehicle or with his vehicle, wh ich is when he abducted his next victim.
9. [u]Another Safety Point: Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying baby on her porch the nigh t before last, and she called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird. The police told her "Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door."
The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it wou ld crawl to the street and get run over. The policeman said, "We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do, DO NOT open the door." He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that someone dropped off a baby. He said t hey have not verified it , but have had several calls by women saying that they hear baby's cries outside their doors when they're home alone at night.
Please pass this on and DO NOT open the door for a crying baby ----This
should be taken seriously because the Crying Baby theory was mentioned on America's Most Wanted this past Saturday when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana.
I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know. It may save a life. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle. I was going to send this to the ladies only, but guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc., you may want to pass it onto them, as well.

I got this email... Some years ago. One of those chain letters that IS worth forwarding on. I changed the subject title, but yes. It's always worth passing on to those who've never seen it.

that's some really useful stuff. One thing that he didn't mention though was another for self-defense. What you do is get the palm of your hand and smash it upward into the guy's nose. This should break it.

Just didn't read it all, but here're some things I know:
if you're at a party and think you're being followed [were at a party and now leaving] try and be as gross as possible, throw up [or fake it] or whatever, wipe your nose on your sleeve, whatever. It's not like they're going to want to rape you if you've been vomiting in the bushes.
That's something I overheard my aunt telling my cousin. [I almost live at her house sometimes. ><]
And the groin thing...if you're wearing heels..use them. Because, that's a huge painful turn off. Ears.
Ears are good for hurting people.
Poke them in the eye. My God that hurts. [everyone's been poked in the eye. Now imagine actually -trying- to hurt someone. lol]
Nose...my aunt said to bite them..and my cousin said EWWWWWW really loud...
Um...honestly...
and I've heard DONT take the elevators cuz they close...and ..you can stop them..at least on stairs if you scream you have a tiny chance
and guns. I know a lot about guns. No one can hit anything for beans. Zig zag and duck and weave.
Seriously, tho, growing up surrounded by girls i know most of this stuff. It's good advice.
But, remember, scream loud...

That's one thing I'm always afraid of, I don't think I've ever screamed before that I can remember. yelled yes, but not screamed. I've no idea if I'm good.
Eek, I have waist-length long hair. eek But, you can believe I'll put up a fight.
another thing, if you're trying not to get pushed over, lower your center of gravity (spread legs out farther and bend your knees). It's a lot harder to push someone over like that. And fight dirty, go for where it hurts. You can cause some serious damage to their groin, and they usually need those parts to rape you.

Aren't you supposed to yell out 'FIRE' instead of 'RAPE' or something? I heard that somewhere..

Yeah, I remember being told that... They say more people respond to hearing "Fire" than "Rape", so that's what they recommend.

As for screaming, I suggest you practice by screaming the next time you get into an argument you don't want to have. If you do it long enough, they'll eventually stop. Unless you're online, that is...

Yeah, I have long hair too! lol I would keep it short but my cosplay keeps me from doing that. sweatdrop But yeah, if someone tried to rape me, then I would scream bloody murder. xd Plus, I would kick, scratch, bite, punch, and flail around like a crazy person. And my friends know what I can scream from all of the fangirling that I do. lol

Okay, here's the thing if you're going to do that, make sure you actually do damage. Otherwise you just piss the guy off even more. My friend..has been raped twice. Which is why I kind of feel the need to post here every so often. IF you're gonna knee him or whatever, get your whole body weight behind it, because if you don't hurt him bad enough, you've just made him ten times angrier at you....><

GAH. xp I HATE RAPISTS! evil stressed scream It's because of people like them I don't get to go Anywhere. My parents keep bickering that if I go even to my friends house which is like two blocks away. I'm going to get raped. Oh, if they hear some 14 year old girl got raped they blab about that. I just hate it. Can't even wear tank tops at home or else I get yelled at and she'll be like someone might be looking from the window and I'm always like "what the heck?!" WHy in the world do they make such a big deal about it? It's not like I have a boyfriend or even allowed to have one. They make such a huge deal out of it. i can't even have a guy has a friend or they'll be MILLIONS of questions about it. It's so messed up. I hate it, my dad never trusts me. He treats me like he use to treat his STUPID SISTER. My parents are so overprotective when it comes to that. They are extremely negative. Evil too. I hate that about them. I mean I could get hit by a bus and die, but Nooo, Im going to get raped, everywhere I go, I'm going to get raped. That's what they keep doing to me. It's like they are trying to make me fear guys! It's so messed up, and wrong...*sigh* Well it looks like I don't have to really worry about that since I have short hair and I'm always around people. If I"m going to get raped it'll be at school. Which would be crazy cause I'm always in class or around my girl buddies. But my parents tell me that not to trust anyone because they can also lure you into getting raped or something like that. I'm always stuck at home or guarded by my parents. I'll be fine. Wonder what's going to happen if I start driving?!!!! eek

@ seergirl.
you're either very stupid, very young, very naive, or a ******** up mixture of all three.
and if you make it through the next 10-15 years without getting raped, make damned sure that you THANK your parents for giving a damn.
idiot.
