I've only read the first three or four posts and watched the link and that's enough for me. Simply go to the bar or wherever and ask for help. Or, at the risk of stating the bleedin' obvious, go to the toilet and use your mobile phone. What an unnecessary and unworkable idea this campaign appears to be.
Thanks old dude , sounds like you had it tough and with your family, thats very sad! But you apologised that makes you a gent in my books! And there are a lot here that are not! So thankyou!
Hi WD. I'm out of likes but how can I not appreciate your last post. You do come up with some real gems Sir!!!
I'm serious, provided you become aware that your drink has been spiked before it's too late. Better you alert someone working behind the bar then. One time years ago some guy spiked a friend of mine's drink with acid, but nothing happened to her apart from turning up to work the next day tripping off her nuts and not realising what was happening. We knew who did it, but still not sure to this day why the guy isn't a wheelchair now getting drip fed because we had some of the dodgiest cunts in Manchester working for us as doormen at the time. Another time I got chatted up by this girl in a club who it turned out was off her face on GHB. Bought her a couple of drinks and nearly killed her apparently, her overprotective friends took her home whereupon she was violently sick. I didn't know she had taken that, and I'm not sure she knew either. Anyway, the guy who gave her it was previously ejected for trying to usher a girl out who appeared to be very drunk and incoherent.
Drink spiking has been around a long time.. awareness is crucial! I had my drink spiked in the 70s..true! Now you see posters in the clubs, about buying a bottle, and use a straw! And don't leave your drink unattended!
My drink was spiked by the barman, not much you can do to protect yourself from the serving staff. Ask it to be opened in front of you, after checking the top is still tight ....... just not reasonable. If women are that worried about dates and clubs. Wouldn't the most safe option be not to go on dates, and not to go to clubs. Where I live, if a woman goes somewhere alone with a guy, you've both already consented to sex. And the police would just laugh if you reported rape. If she doesn't want sex she doesn't go, or brings a crowd of friends along with her, it's really easy, and you both know what's happening.
^ Yeah, if you don't want sex or don't want to get raped, stay at home and don't go to clubs or on dates!!! 1!! Silly women, with their thinking that agreeing to a date doesn't necessarily mean sex. Stay at home, ladies.
Why would anyone go on a date without wanting sex, isn't that is what a date is for. Or are you just in it for a free night out? (OK, I've been to events with women that I didn't want sex, but they were social events filled with mutual friends, not just me and her alone)
So does this mean that unless a woman wants Sex - they should not go out? Is this the way of the world? - Girls/women should only go out with the intention and expectation of Sex? And therefore Men should be like predatory desire and intention that all females are 'fair game' and should 'want and indeed expect it'(?) Enjoyment, Engagement and Interaction should be encouraged, and not with any caveat of physical demand - maybe I'm getting old(?!) but I feel that it is mutual, consenting and based on honesty - after all, is that what a parent would want for their own daughter? - if this be the case, then I do worry for the future
How about a warning system for guys who get threatened by male friends of women in bars....... I've often simply been chatting to, not necessarilly even chatting up. Single guy on his own in a bar, must be a potential rapist. Number of times I've had my chances fucked by overprotective friends. It's not easy being a young guy who pretty much got bullied his entire childhood and didn't have much confidence or social skills. I once got threatened with a severe beating for merely responding to a girl's flirtations towards me at a party by some 50 year old Glaswegian ****, who was quite discrete but direct in his warning to me. I was 22. She was 17. Apparently because I was male and clearly we both fancied each other meant I was a threat. People are such judgmental cunts sometimes.
You could always do what most do Running man..and just ignore what they don't agree with! this is fact base..
It's a shame that in this (so called) Enlightened World that we live in - that we have to accept that the targeting of/for abuse that is not just an on-going but in some areas - escalating issue - and resources need to be employed, however. Be Smart, Secure and Safe is far better than being Sorry i
