Of course you won't, like the old saying: you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink, I can give you a link to courses on english comprehension and you won't dare investigate because then, you actually might learn something and you don't want that!
Talk to women. Listen to them. Ask them why they won't go on dates with strangers. It certainly isn't because they are afraid of having a great time, it certainly isn't because they are afraid of liking the guy. No, a LOT of women (aka shitload) won't go out with strangers because they are afraid of getting assaulted. Hence why many like to be "set up".
Here's a stat for you:
- 51% of Canadian women report having experienced at least one incident of physical or sexual violence since the age of sixteen.
and here's another for you:
Past research on women's fear of rape has focused on women's fears relating to stranger rape, even though most rapes are acquaintance rapes. In this study, 139 undergraduate women completed a questionnaire concerning their fears, precautionary behaviors, and beliefs relating to acquaintance and stranger rape. Women reported being more fearful of rape by strangers than by acquaintances, and they reported engaging in more precautionary behaviors because of fear of stranger rape than of acquaintance rape. When asked to self-generate situations in which they feared rape, they generated more situations in which they feared stranger rape than acquaintance rape. Paradoxically, they estimated that acquaintance rape was more common. Precautionary behaviors were best predicted by level of fear. A history of acquaintance rape had no effect on women's responses. Theoretical and educational implications are discussed.
and
Stanko (1992) noted that although traditional victimization surveys demonstrate that young men are at the highest risk for victimization, women consistently report, on average, fear of crime that is three times higher than males. One would expect that fear of crime is related to likelihood of victimization. Yet, women report higher fear even though official reports indicate they are less likely to be targets of crime than males.
So, are you seriously trying to tell me that women do NOT fear sexual assault when making dates with strangers?
Are you seriously telling me that women do NOT thinking about possible assault when invited to go home with a guy they met in a bar?
Bliss: you can call me a bully, you can call me whatever name you want. But over the past 40 yrs I've been listening to what women have to say. Not simply H E A R I N G them, but L I S T E N I N G and talking WITH them, not TO them.
One of the BIG factors that the majority of women I've talked to when discussing meeting strangers is the possibility of rape, sexual assault, or being put in some sort of danger. That is why MOST meet people for the first time in a public place (re: internet dating) why more women don't hop into the cars of guys they meet in bars.....
