But then, most A+ chicks would freak at how my current partner got me into the sack the first time.
oh do tell.
He got me outrageously drunk by buying me doubles (I didn't realise they were doubles)
He drove me to his house after the bouncer said I was too drunk to remain at the pub we were at - at that point I didn't even know the name of the suburb he lived in, I'd met him at work a few weeks earlier and hadn't really needed to exchange addresses! - and I spent most of the drive passed out
He put me in his bed, I said something about not sleeping together that night (but really, I was very much DTF, I just didn't want to be seen as easy :lol: )
Five minutes later...
:lol: Sounds all very dreadfully juvenile, when I put it like that, which it was I guess. We were 24 (me) and 23 (him) at the time. Eight years and two kids later, still together and happy, and a long long way from those days...

As for rape stats, they've always seemed a vast overestimation
to me. I know lots of young and not-so-young women, being female myself and having had lots of female friends and acquaintances over the years, lots of very close friendships... I know
one woman who was raped (by a stalkerish ex who also tried to kill her, he is now in jail) and I also know one woman who spun a whole lot of bullshit about being gang-raped and in the end it turned out to be a big fat lie she was using to keep her white-knight boyfriend loyal and by her side.
I think rape is a despicable thing, I just think a lot of victim feminists use far too loose a definition of rape, and I think social scientists misuse statistics and come up with wildly inappropriate stats. I don't think it helps the cause of women who really have been raped AT ALL. I realise I don't know every single woman out there but I've known a lot of them, known a lot of them very closely and shared a lot of confidences, and the stats just don't seem to weigh up. Far far more of my friends and relatives should be rape victims, according to the stats. Do I just associate with extremely lucky women?? I know a couple extra who got indecently assaulted as children by uncles (separate incidents) but they weren't raped and I hardly think that's a
feminist issue, given the amount of kiddy fiddling of boy victims.
