>> > >1) The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle.
>>They

>>other
>> > >hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after
>>a
>> > >woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.
>> > >
>> > >2) The
>> >second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women
>> > >whose clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors
>> > >around specifically to cut clothing.
>> > >
>> > >3) They also look for women on their cell phone, searching through
>>their
>> > >purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off
>>guard
>> > >and can be easily overpowered.
>> > >
>> > >4) Men are most likely to attack & rape in the early morning, between
>>5:
>> > >00a.m. and 8: 30a.m.
>> > >
>> > >5) The number one place women are abducted from/attacked is grocery
>>store
>> > >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 worry

>> >caught.
>> > >
>> > >7) Only 2% said they carried weapons because rape carries a 3-5 year
>> > >sentence but rape with a weapon is 15-20 years.
>> > >
>> > >8) If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged
>>because
>> > >it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you
>> > >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. So, the idea is to convince these
>>guys
>> > >you're not worth it.
>> > >
>> > >10) Several defence mechanisms he taught us are: If someone is
>>following
>> > >behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or
>> >
>> > >stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what
>>time
>> >is
>> > >it, or make general small talk: "I can't believe it is so cold out
>>here",
>> > >"we're in for a bad winter." Now you've seen their face and could
>> >identify
>> > >them in a line-up; you lose appeal as a target.
>> > >
>> > >11) If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of
>>you
>> > >and yell STOP or STAY BACK! Most of the rapists this man talked to
>>said
>> > >they'd leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not
>>be
>> > >afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.
>> > >
>> > >12) If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of
>>it
>> > >and carries it with him wherever he goes), yell I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY
>>and
>> > >holding it out will be a deterrent.
>> > >
>> > >13) If someone grabs you, you can't beat them
>> >with strength but you can by
>> > >outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind,
>>pinch
>> > >the attacker either under the arm (between the elbow and armpit) OR in
>> >the
>> > >upper inner thigh VERY, VERY, HARD. One woman in a class this guy
>>taught
>> > >told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date
>>rape
>> > >her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle
>> >strands
>> > >- the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as
>>hard
>> > >as you can stand it; it hurts.
>> > >
>> > >14) After the initial hit, always GO for the GROIN. I know from a
>> > >particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy's parts it
>>is
>> > >extremely painful. You might think that you'll anger the guy and 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 a lot of trouble. Start
>> >causing
>> > >trouble and he's out of there.
>> > >
>> > >15) 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 pushing 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 cracked audibly.
>> > >
>> > >16) Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware
>>of
>> > >your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any

>> > >behaviour, don't dismiss it, go with your instincts!!!

>> > >You may feel a little silly at the time, but you'd feel much worse if

>> > >1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your

>>The

>> > >4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,

>>CAR,

>> > >
>> > >5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or
>>parking
>> > >garage:
>> > >
>> > >A.) Be aware: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger
>>side
>> > >floor, and in the back seat.
>> > >
>> > >B.) If you are parked next to a big
>> >van, enter your car from the passenger
>> > >door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into
>> >their
>> > >vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
>> > >
>> > >C.) Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and
>>the
>> > >passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your
>>car,
>> > >you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a
>> >guard/policeman
>> > >to walk you back out.
>> > >
>> > >IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than
>> >dead.)
>> > >
>> > >6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are
>> >horrible
>> > >places to be alone and the perfect crime spot. This is especially true
>>at
>> > >NIGHT!)
>> > >
>> > >7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS
>> >RUN!
>> > >The predator will only hit you (a running
>> >target) 4 in 100 times; and even
>> > >then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN, preferably in a
>> >zigzag
>> > >pattern!
>> > >
>> > >8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP. It may get
>>you
>> > >raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking,
>>well
>> > >educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting
>>women.
>> >He
>> > >walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked "for help" into his
>> >vehicle
>> > >or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.
>> > >
>> > >************* Here it is *******
>> > >
>> > >9. Another Safety Point: Someone just told me that her friend heard a
>> > >crying baby on her porch the night before last and she called the
>>police
>> > >because it was late and she thought it was weird. The police told her
>> > >"Whatever you do, DO NOT open the
>> >door."
>> > >
>> > >The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a
>> >window,
>> > >and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run
>>over.
>> >The
>> > >policeman said, "We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do,
>>DO
>> >NOT
>> > >open the door." He told her that they think a serial killer has a
>>baby's
>> > >cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking
>>that
>> > >someone dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it! , but
>>have
>> > >had several calls by women saying that they hear baby's cries outside
>> >their
>> > >doors when they're home alone at night.
>> > >
>> > >Please pass this on and DO NOT open the door for a crying baby
>>----This
>> > >e-mail should probably be taken seriously because the Crying Baby
>>theory
>> > >was mentioned on America's Most Wanted this past Saturday when they
>> >
>> > >profiled the serial killer in Louisiana.
>> > >
>> > >I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know. It may save a
>> >life.
>> > >A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle. I was going to send
>> >this
>> > >to the ladies only, but guys, if you love your wives, mothers,
>>sisters,
>> > >daughters, etc., you may want to pass it onto them, as well.
