this sounds like bullshit...no one is questioning how the supposed van driver knew it was a girls car let alone that she worked in the pub?

"No idea how or why" Uh, maybe it was the van strategically placed to kidnap you? Figgity fake.

The rape can tipped him off

Why would the police block in a van and question the driver? He could simply say he was parked, no reason to take him in, or question him.

A girl I saw a few times, it became sexual but she kinda creeped me out. I never showed her my place, I broke it off. Rainy season a few -->

Days later on a rainy night I swear I hear footsteps by the window. Then a few minutes later a knock at the door. She's dripping wet -->
PsycheClone
With a scarf she'd knitted for me and a letter. The letter stated how much she loved me. She dried off and tried kissing me but I made her->
PsycheClone
Leave, she eventually faded away but it bugged me how easily she'd found me.

It was easy, I just looked you up on Facebook.

It's really not that hard to find out where someone you know lives if you're willing to ignore your actions' creepiness.

I get that she could have followed me, or hired an investigator but she was soaked through to her socks. Which means she was out there -->

Fuck that....
shedooooooooo
Guys always think they understand lol. Imagine a random person did this, not your ex. And was male. And wanted to rape and kill you.
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
Ignore the rape part (while still including them in the figures as murders) and it's actually three times more likely to happen to a man.
Imgurislongerfunny
...his story is still creepy even if she didn't try to rape and kill him. It's not a competition
PsycheClone
I'm sure it's much more terrifying when it's a stranger, and I've never had that happen. But, women aren't incapable of scary shit.

So wrong.Where to begin. 1st statement might be true. Still high, tho. Second statement is unrelated and out of context and likely wrong.
BreakTheCircle
It's a 2:1 average ratio for men to women being victims of stage 2 and 3, but not 9/10... http://www.victimsweek.gc.ca/res/r512.html
braidertom
This seams reasonable as due to the natures of the violence and generally less empathy towards men.
braidertom
but that only validates the first half of the statement. nothing to do with the second half
shadowex3
They're inseperable. If men are almost all victims of street crime women are less likely to be involved alone than with men around.

I don't support the second half, not he first. He overstated.

braidertom
soo... you're saying i should be escorting the young black men i work with to their car for their protection, thanks i'll keep it in mind
shadowex3
I'm saying that young black men, followed closely by young white men, are the only people where you work likely to ever face street crime.
shadowex3
And of what little crime women do experience compared to men it's almost always committed by a known and trusted individual. Not a stranger.
shadowex3
By nearly a full order of magnitude. Women simply don't experience street crime or stranger violence in comparison to young men.
ohdeepthought
Whenever I drop a friend off somewhere I wait till they are safely inside before I go... hope they don't have an intruder though...
Akreyeiu
Fam has always done this for me, so it was normal. Went to drop off a friend at her place for the first time and she txtd me later asking 1/
Akreyeiu
why I waited before driving off. I guess she ended up telling her mom about it, and I became her mom's favorite out of her friends. lol 2/2
ohdeepthought
That happens to me a lot haha
Akreyeiu
becoming the favorite friend, or getting left stranded? lol
SchrodingersSchrodinger
Also important during winter. We've had people dropped off at home or by cabs who drive away & not have keys & freeze to injure or death!
Showmeyourotters
I do this too, but one time my dad chided me for making sure a guy friend made it in. "Men can take care of themselves" was his reasoning
Showmeyourotters
To me no one deserves to find out they're locked out after you leave though. Especially not in extreme weather of any kind.
HighlandPotatoe
I do this too! Everyone has to get inside before I leave.

how I was raised but at the same time dropping off someone I don't know very well I feel creepy watching them enter their house.

How else would one know when to spring into action?
ZaeMillion
It serves a practical purpose too, if they get to their door, discover they don't have their keys, and you drove off, stranded outside now.

Fact. Dropped off a friend who forgot her keys & while we waited for her rents to come home, she told me anyone else would have left her.

I'm curious if you were pointing out a study about the illusion of safety in an escorts or just poking fun at men being aggressors in crime.

I was pointing out men are the overwhelming victims of violent crime and the illusion of safety of a male escort.

Do you have a source that separates out the scenario we're talking about? Otherwise, that's a moot point.

That's actually pretty interesting, especially the statistic about sexual assault. I wonder how that compares to other countries like the US
BreakTheCircle
He's actually pointing out that men are more likely to be victims of violent crime despite media representation. Hold on I'll get a sauce
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
How does that keep women safe from rapists though? One's got nothing to do with the other.

Quite likely it's that aggressive men get beaten up by other aggressive men. Maybe the sauce says otherwise though.

The fact that men are more often victims of crimes doesn't necessarily relate to women's safety alone vs escorted by a man at night.
shadowex3
The fact that of ALL victims of violent crime 9/10 of them are men is directly relevant.
manyfandomz
That 9/10 is exaggerated or misrepresented. Here are some stats for lots of years from Australia. /a/WCEDf

So a 100 pound girl is safer walking alone because men are victims more? What dumb shit is this.
shadowex3
This is a zero sum statistic, a 100 pound girl is safer walking alone because she's an order of magnitude less likely to be attacked
Fahargo
Accept there is no correlation between those who kidnap woman and those who would attack the man she is with. So she is an order of 1/2
Fahargo
Also this statement is entirely false. Everyone who would plan to do her harm is less likely do do her harm if someone else is with her.
