New forum theme up and running!
#2 of course.And to try to elaborate on my point...Yes, I now see that guys definitely do deal with creepy girls. However, it's not quite the same. While you may feel threatened by a creepy girl, you probably aren't truly terrified because if it came down to it, you could probably physically overpower her. I may work out, but I doubt I could physically overpower a male that is larger than I am. Then there's also the difficulty of a woman trying to rape a man.
I general I'd say I agree 98% with Grandy's post above.
1 - Any woman can defeat any man, believe me. A good kick in the fork does wonders.2 - Woman raping a man - Easier than it might seen. We just don't hear too much about it because most males tend to consent with the sex.3 - If you're waiting until he turns dangerous, that's a stupid move on your part.
It kinda depends on what they do exactly. I got into a lot of trouble with THAT philosophy (kicked out of school).
I thought you were going to make a good point here. But you didn't.The thing about creepy girls that represents those larger males using violence: They know that they are weaker and therefore gets themselves a weapon. Creepy girls with Swiss army knives are probably way creepier than a strong male. People carrying weapons are probably more calm with the thought of using them rather than a guy with muscles using his strength.But I know where you're going with that Valiere. Chances that a girl does carry a weapon is smaller than a guy having muscles enough to overpower you.But of course, talking about creepy persons as in: Rape. You win that by miles. I won't even try to defend males about that part. It's not worth it and it's a losing battle.Girls do have stronger means to fear rape than guys. Finding gay (or just very desperate)guys are probably way,way,way smaller than finding a rapist(/desperate guy) who goes for girls.
I'm a fair sized guy so I don't get messed with much anymore, but I used to be a shorter guy (woo! growth spurt).
I'm slightly fatter than I used to be in high school because my usual walking trail is blocked by a big tree and I love Italian foods and other such rich food, but I used to be a skinner dude with a barrel chest and arms that could jab and thrust without a blade.
I'm not the general man. Weird, I know. XDI'm still a guy of course. Not the typical guy though. And I'd have it no other way. I love being crazy!
Ah, yes. The rape part.That's awfully hard to reply to. Men just don't have a fear of being used for sex (we generally don't have objections to the idea), so it's hard for any man to say anything regarding the subject.Perhaps I should think of it as me being under threat of rape from a gay man who is capable of subduing me. That's a terrifying thought, and it helps see your point of view better.
That does put it into a different perspective. Also I don't like the idea of being used for sex even for a woman, it just shows that you're shallow and worthless if you'll have sex with someone even if they don't care about you.
Fish, you have earned major respect points from me, and that's not sarcasm.
So I'm an art student, and in one of my classes we draw nude models. There's this one dude in my class who...well, you know those plastic "hillbilly teeth" you get out of cheesy vending machines? He has that kind of overbite where his top set of teeth are permanently on display. And he will not stop talking to me. He constantly walks up to me with those ever-staring eyes and tries to make conversation, even though I do my best to give off uninterested vibes. I don't want to be a jerk, but this guy just won't take a hint.I could maybe understand if he wanted some drawing advice, since he's the most craptacular artist I've ever seen (I'm fully convinced any one of you could out-draw this guy, who is ostensibly an art major), and I'm probably the most experienced student in the class at life drawing, but he never wants to talk about drawing, just about me and my life. Oh, and today he asked to take a camera-phone picture of the model to take home and -- you know -- practice drawing with. And by "practice" I mean "jack" and by "drawing" I mean "off." The teacher, who seems to find him about as creepy as I do, was understandably hesitant. It didn't help that the model, while probably 40+, wasn't bad on the eyes and was pretty busty. On the way out of class, he told me, "You look tired," which is one word away from the universal pervert pick-up line "You look tense." I almost laughed but instead said, "I'm fine," and hurried out.But I'm kinda droning on here. I'm not really looking for advice, since I know the most logical thing to do would be to flatly tell him to leave me alone, but again, I don't want to be a jerk. Really, I just wanted to get this off my chest. Dude needs to leave me alone!
You know i'm alot like that. I tell pepole I like to be weird because it's fun. Small world.That does put it into a different perspective. Also I don't like the idea of being used for sex even for a woman, it just shows that you're shallow and worthless if you'll have sex with someone even if they don't care about you.
It also shows that you're responding appropriately to a natural urge that's hard-wired into your brain.But then there's "humanity".
