There are a lot of personality characteristics that contribute to date rape in college or anywhere for that matter. Some guys falsely believe that they should be the “aggressor” and the woman should be “passive”. He might want to “dominate” you or always be in charge. A guy might think that you are playing hard to get and that “no” really means “yes”. Miscommunication often happens between guys and girls, especially when it comes to sex.
Guys who commit date rape:
· Don’t respect your personal space and get way too close and/or touch your body. (Very touchy feely)
· Don’t listen to you, talk over you, ignore you, and don’t respect what you say or think.
· Don’t have respect for women in general.
· Don’t really like women.
· Don’t like or respect their own mother.
· Express anger & hostility towards women.
· Use guilt or make you feel uptight if you resist them sexually.
· Don’t respect what you want or how you feel.
· Excessively jealous, possessive, and controlling.
· Have traditional views of women & men- “Women are there to serve men”.
· Think of women as “possessions”, “property”, and “sex objects” not human beings.
· Abuse drugs & alcohol and don’t know their limit.
· Turn into a “nasty drunk” who can become violent, angry, and sexually aggressive if he doesn’t get his way.
· Accuse you of cheating or flirting.
· Likes to be in charge and make all of the decisions- where to go, what to do, etc.
· Feels very entitled to get what he wants when he wants.
Anyone can turn into a date rapist, even a really nice guy. However, these are definitely the warning signals to watch out for. The most important thing to remember is to never go anywhere alone with a guy and no means no!
