All of my female friends say that they don't like going outside at night because they're scared of getting raped. Personally, I'm not afraid to walk outside in the dark because I don't think any rapist would be attracted to my painfully average appearance.

I think that my friends sound slightly vain when they say, "Someone will rape me if I go out at night>"

Is it normal to think that, or am i just a horrible person.
Do you think it's normal?

it is normal but likely you should listen to your family because if you get your self in accident whatever it is, then that would not be nice!!!!







many possible things could happen and you know never know my friend
You're not strange. They are. Where do you live anyway? Some part of war-torn Africa?
To be honest, I think all but the ugliest of girls would be potential rape victims, some people are that desparate, so there may be some validity in what they say, depending on where you live of course. Say you live in a really posh area, then that may be vain.
They sound kinda silly to me, though it is normal to be afraid of being raped,and people do get raped... But there are so many ways to be safe. Always go with another girl and stick together. Just don't go out late with a straight guy friend, they are the biggest statistical risk.
I prefer the company of lesbians anyway, but even then you still have to be careful of the older obsessive cougar types.
If you are walking down an empty sidewalk stick to the street side, or if the street is empty you can walk on the road.
Biggest point though, is the buddy system. Always keep a girl friend by your side if you are walking around. Look out for each other. If she ends up wandering off with someone and you can't get a hold of her just call for a taxi home.
i think its normal. if someone wants to rape someone, i doubt they're worried about your appearance, they most likely just want sex.
you're not horrible lol they're being a bit paranoid!

i dont think they're really being to far up their a*ses or anything but they could tone it down a bit.

but remember rapists will rape anyone..so thats probabl why they're like that.
...Thats the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Thats like saying you dont want to go outside because you're afraid of getting hit by a car or getting struck by lightning.
i think its sad that EVERY woman on the face of this earth are afriad to go outside. it makes men seem like predators... rape is actually a fairly rare problem unless you live in a heavily urbanized area.
The problem is that they are bimbos.

I hate women like that.
Lol
You and your friends would be smart to take personal safety and put it in perspective: neither too extreme in fear, or totally denying it as an issue. Take practical precautions such as those suggested.
Umm... I don't think it's vain to not want to get raped!
First of all, most rapists go for vulnerable / unaware people, not supermodels. I think you need to get over yourself.
It's normal to think that, BUT any girl can become a victim of rape, regardless of looks. Just be careful yourself.
