ββTHROUGH A RAPISTβS EYESβ (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. it may save a life.)Β Reblog this!
Β Β
It seems that alot of attackers use some tactic to get away with violence. Not manyΒ people know how to take care of themselves when faced with such a
situation. Everyone should read this especially each n every girl in this world.Β THOUGHT THIS WAS GOOD INFO TO PASS ALONGβ¦
FYI - Through a rapistβs eyes! A group of rapists and date rapists inΒ prison were interviewed on what they look for in a potential victimΒ 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,Β or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely toΒ go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not commonΒ targets.
2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for womenΒ whoβs clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissorsΒ around to cut clothing.
3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching throughΒ their purse or doing other activities while walking because they areΒ off guard and can be easily overpowered.
4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at isΒ grocery store parking lots.
5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.
6] Number three is public restrooms.
7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a womanΒ and quickly move her to a second location where they donβt have toΒ worry about getting caught.
8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouragedΒ because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that goingΒ after you isnβt worth it because it will be time-consuming.
9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,orΒ other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in theirΒ hands.
10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close toΒ the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convinceΒ these guys youβre not worth it.

POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:
1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage orΒ with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and askΒ them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk:
canβt believe it is so cold out here, weβre in for a bad winter. NowΒ that youβve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up,Β you lose appeal as a target.
Β
2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front ofΒ you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked toΒ said theyβd leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she wouldΒ
not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASYΒ target.
3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate ofΒ it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPERΒ SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.
4] If someone grabs you, you canβt beat them with strength but you canΒ do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist fromΒ 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 thisΒ guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who wasΒ trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skinΒ and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinchingΒ yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.
5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from aΒ particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guyβs parts itΒ is extremely painful. You might think that youβll anger the guy andΒ 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 him a lot ofΒ trouble. Start causing trouble, and heβs out of there.
6] 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 pushingΒ 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 crackedΒ audibly.
7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware ofΒ your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see anyΒ odd behavior, donβt dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel
little silly at the time, but youβd feel much worse if the guy reallyΒ was trouble.

FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL β¦.
I know you are smart enough to know these pointers but there will beΒ some, where you will go βhmm I must remember thatβ After readingΒ forward it to someone you care about, never hurts to be careful inΒ this crazy world we live in.
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on yourΒ body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.
2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New OrleansΒ : if a robber asksΒ for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away fromΒ youβ¦. 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 INΒ THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the backΒ tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving likeΒ crazy. The driver wonβt see you but everybody else will. This hasΒ saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating,Β working, etc., and just sitΒ (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DONβT DO THIS! TheΒ predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity forΒ him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tellΒ you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.
Β
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, orΒ parking garage:
a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be
hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside theΒ passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFOREΒ RIDING A TAXI CAB) .
b. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from theΒ passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pullingΒ them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into theirΒ cars.
c. Look at the car parked on the driverβs side of your vehicle, andΒ the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearestΒ your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get aΒ guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFEΒ THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
Β
6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells areΒ horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).
7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYSΒ RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times;Β And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!
8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It mayΒ get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was aΒ good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathiesΒ of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and oftenΒ asked βfor helpβ into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is whenΒ he abducted his next victim.
Β Β
Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that theΒ world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and itβs better safe thanΒ sorry.
