stats show you have a better chance of being assaulted by someone you already know.

For my own experience, this is far from true..... Two assaults from complete strangers, both were caught and prosecuted.

:( Sorry to hear that. Hope you learned martial arts since then.

Your a lot more trusting of people than I am...

I wouldn't meet anyone off the net unless I was armed.

Armed? You really live in a sick world. Many of my friends and business partners were originally just internet contacts. I've never had a SINGLE bad experience about meeting people from the internet in the real world, and I have met a LOT. Just from DNF I met two guys, and we still keep in touch and meet up every year a few times, although we live in different countries. Stop this paranoid life, no wonder you need Bush to protect you...

It wasn't rape, but it came close to that in both cases... One guy had the nerve to approach me while I walking my 1 year old daughter in a stroller.... I'm telling you Tia, there are way too many pervs here in the USA, I've never seen any like this in the Philippines or Singapore :no:

I don't live a paranoid life, and I have no problem meeting many of the members here, My point is that Woman need to be much more careful than Men do... Live the life of a Woman and you would understand.

Shorter women are more likely to be assaulted. There's a study that shows women who get assaulted are shorter than the norm.

How tall are you Raider?

heh.. sounds like Raider got pretty unlucky... meeting people online is the same as real life. how could it not be.. its all just people.

there are some general rules to follow when meeting anyone new offline or online.. always meet in a public place being the most important.

Actually studies show that women who are easy targets are attacked more often:

such as being distracted, have long hair(can grab ahold of it), putting a child in a carseat, chatting on cell, looking for keys in purse.... those kinds of things. I just read an article on this not to long ago.

This fit's in with what I thought, If you can post or PM me a link to that study, I'd appreciate it.

The Women I meet at the shooting ranges have had far worse things happen to them, Come to think of it, one lady dated a guy she met online, only to find out that he fondled with her 9 year old daughter.... SICK

And what about all those freaky guys who get caught on "To catch a Predator"?

Sorry, Patty.. Didn't mean to hijack your thread.

Well I've never been one to hide in the house, even when this was the worst hood in Seattle. I can remember when there were crack dealers all up and down Cherry for seven blocks, and someone would get wacked about every other day. Invariably, every time I went into my favorite barbeque around the corner, some Crack Dealer would try to sell me drugs. The Drug business really dried up when the SPD started impounding the cars of the Rich White Kids, from Bellevue, who came to the hood to get their drugs. Bad news getting your expensive car (that their parents probably paid for) auctioned off for a gram of crack, ouch!
Well things seem to have changed for the better around here. So not much to worry about ;) But I'll watch your back Patty.
Yep when it's your day it's your day.
Historically, there are probably no more Wack Jobs than there have ever been,
but they get a hell of a lot more attention from the media now days.
We still have special places for the criminally insane:eek: ya know

Looks like Scott was being social-engineered.

got the PM when I was listening to Last.FM.

A song was playing that I had never heard again...

Wheatus – Hump'em n' Dump'em (Clean Album Version)

some of the lyrics were so comical

big and fat is coming back, all you skinny people.

She was big and fat and I turned around and she ate my cat, coughed up a hairball...

or some crazy shit like that.

Please, no MORE PAT!
