Through the Eyes of a Rapist

Through a Rapist's Eyes (No Joke) This is important information for
females of ALL ages.
A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed onwhat 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. Theyare most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun, braid or otherhairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after awoman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.

2) The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for womenwho's clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissorsaround specifically to cut clothing.

3) They also look for women on their cell phone, searching throughtheir purse or doing other activities while walking because they are offguard and can be easily overpowered.

4) Men are most likely to attack & rape in the early morning, between5:00a.m. and 8:30a.m.

5) The number one place women are abducted from/attacked is grocerystore 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 worryabout getting caught.

7) Only 2% said they carried weapons because rape carries a 3-5 yearsentence but rape with a weapon is 15-20 years.

8) If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouragedbecause it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going afteryou 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.
