    Last weekend, I invited a man over to watch videos since the snow didn't call for going out for coffee. This guy took the invitation as sexual rights. Except for him (respecting) my "No's", I'd say he did everything but rape me. He said I was asking for it by the way I was dressed. And if I wouldn't do this, would I do that? And since I wouldn't do that, would I do this? In the words of Avril Lavigne, it was "badder than it sounds." I held the door open for him to leave and that took 15 painful minutes.

    That fucking sucks.
    Good thing you're ok & nuttin bad happened to you.

    It doesn't matter what I was wearing.

    sure it does.....this guy was apparently picking up some sort of signals from you. Sounds like you were being sort of a tease to get behavior like that out of him. I know it still doesn't make it right for him to keep it up after saying "no"...but I feel like you're not painting the whole picture....after all there are two sides to every story.

  • as a man i feel like this

    why would i want a woman who wouldnt want me?

    granted i know a lot of women throw mixed signals but telling a guy to leave for 15 minutes is pretty damn obvious. i'm sorry that guys can be like that.

    and "dressing like that" might make a guy come up to you and try, but when you shoot him down that really is the definitve thing.
    mean people suck!
    but nice people sw****w

    No, I don't believe in having someone fight my wars for me, and believe in non-violence...if you can believe that MCKB!

    As for the music. I'm not telling. Gag order. I told my Mom. I don't think she buys it.

    yeah fighting sucks ass.
    the quote in my signature tells all about it.

    so be it @ your gag order thingy.
    you never showed your mom the check from the hit songs you help write?

  • Your title is misleading.. He did NOT rape you. He may have been all hands and wanted some, but didn't do that to you!
    And I have to agree... It does matter what you were wearing when you invited a guy over to be all alone with you. What signal did he get from you?
    As for the music...Why not just tell.
    Don't be a drama queen.
  • sounds like you didn't know this guy very well. First date or something? Let this be a lesson that you shouldn't invite guys you don't know very well over to your house. I don't even let guys know where I live until after a couple dates.

  • Rape is a terrible, terrible thing. I don't believe any woman asks for it. Maybe sometimes she puts her self in a sketchy situ without realizing it. Could be young and naive. Don't ever assume that someone coming on too strong is even close to what being raped is like. Sure if you were playing Barry White and dressed in panties and a bra only he probably thought he was getting some.. that doesn't mean you can't change your mind and he shouldn't respect your right to say no.

    Clearly the dude sounds like a dumb fuck to me.
    She said no, he kept at it @ different angles=well what about this or this.
    The lady kept saying no, he kept @ it.
    She asked him to go=holding the door open for 15 minutes.
    He was/is a walking hard-on without any kinda class.
    Fuck him, he's a looser who can't approach a lady very well.
    And he's a beginning piece of shit.
    The list goes on but I stop here, thank you.

    What does that tell you about her taste in men?

    What a nice comment to make. I'm sure that makes Tish feel better.

    She should not/ any woman, her or whomever shouldn't invite a dude over to the house until she knows the dude a bit.

    He is prolly some hot lookin fuckin dude who has the integrity of a steaming pile of crap. (now she knows this)
    He probably can sweet talk some of the ladies a little bit, perhaps.
    He's probably not the smartest guy walking, my guess.

    I agree. And, even if her outfit showed cleavage (for example) does not mean she asked for it. When our coworkers come to work with boobs displayed, does that mean they want to be attacked? I think not. It's the style.

    Perhaps you shouldn't be inviting men over to your house, alone and to watch videos, that you don't know that well. If you did know him well then I doubt this situation would have occurred because you would have predicted it or been aware of the possiblity that it would happen and avoided this man. Also seeing you describe him as "this guy", I'm under the impression that you just met or have bumped into each other a few times. I hope you know his name and a bit about him (where he works, neighborhood or city he lives in, stuff like that) at least.

    Be grateful you weren't raped and let this be a lesson. You've got to be careful!


    (Not to sound like a dick but....) I can understand why this guy thought he might score based on what you've posted, not justifying his actions or approving of them, just saying.

    wow wow wow :o what a fucking asshole thing to say... and you're not the only one either. Believe it or not, it DOESNT fucking matter what she was wearing... guys can 'pick up vibes' but that certainly doesn't mean she's sending them. I've had guys 'pick up on vibes' from me that simply weren't there so to say that in some way he's not completely in the wrong is ridiculous.

    And yeh, unfortunately I too have learned to be pretty careful... shouldn't have to be that way at all but luckily you didn't learn the REALLY hard way :o

    Oooohh yeh, cos inviting someone over to watch a video is DEFINITELY sluttish for 'come shag, me horny' :rolleyes: It MAY well be... but you don't go EXPECTING it.

    I've experienced something similar from somebody I WORKED with and knew really well and had been out drinking quite a few times with. I was very very lucky that night and don't I know it... had to fight him off literally. Thankfully he was too off his face on all kinds of drugs to overpower me. It was a different story with the girl he brought home the following week though :( :mad: And I was in NO way asking for it and to even suggest otherwise, no matter how well meaning you put it, is just fucking ridiculous.

  • Sheesh, glad you are ok!

    No means NO! Doesn't matter where you are or what you are wearing. Guy is a jerk and doesn't know boundries or respect.

    And to anyone who made nasty remarks - how would you have felt if this were your sister or mother. Shame on you. Just because someone comes over for movies doesn't mean he/she can hop into bed. Or should have any expectations.

    I'm really sorry you had to experience that.

    Thanks anyways Chadwick. Was sweet of you to offer.

    I was not dressed sexy. I will get to know people that I think are neat on neutral/safe turf next time. This experience has taught me to have clear, strong boundaries when inviting men over.

    I'm okay with not taking pride in my accomplishments. I'm more honored to be a small part in something good these days.

    rule #1 - every heterosexual man you know will want to and/or think about sleeping with you

    rule #2 - doesn't really matter how you're dressed, rule #1 applies

    rule #3 - never forget rule #1


    follow the 3 rules above and you can't go wrong. And ladies, remember every man is vulnerable in the same spot, no matter how big or tough a guy is. hit him in the balls and he will go down.

    I agree with this - can't believe some of the comments. I guess the comments in this thread show why it's so difficult to convict people of rape and why women have such a hard time coming forward in cases.

    It's called self-restraint. If a woman says "no," that's the end of the discussion. Period. No matter what she's wearing, no matter what she says, no means no. Any other response is a lack of self-restraint on the man's part.

    If I were you, I'd be very careful about saying things like this. It is never the victim's fault.

    these attitudes don't even surprise me anymore :eek: :mad: what the fuck's wrong with some people? Ya know when they say 'I'm not saying it was your fault BUT.................... ' :rolleyes: sometimes I just wanna punch them. There is never ANY excuse. Even though Tish was lucky enough to NOT get raped, it's still a scary situation to be in, cos until you get rid of them you're wondering how far it's gonna go.

    While the guy was obviously a horny douche, am I wrong in understanding that he didn't physically touch her?
