[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like he was clumsily trying to demonstrate what a "good guy" he was by not raping you. It came out very awkward, but I wouldn't assume that he is dangerous. It strikes me as a guy who is trying to score brownie points, and ending up sounding a bit douchey.

I have a feeling that OP is young, and is under the influence of the Rape Culture polemicism that is currently raging across college campuses and various link bait sites (Huff Po, Jezebel, etc.) which have largely replaced calm, rational discussions about sexual assult and consent with something that resembles a popular moral panic. As a result, she is probably feeling more threatened by his comment than she should be.

At the end of the day, though, if he makes you feel uncomfortable, leave.[/quote]

Reread that. He hopes for brownie points for [i]not raping her[/i]?

What a world we live in.

You're right, rape culture is just a figment dreamed up by a bunch of hysterical college chix.

Holy crap. I'm the person who wrote this and I thought it would be incredibly clear that I was being sarcastic and am in fact horrified that some dude would think he had earned a pat on the head for the stunning feat of not being a rapist.

Sad that it's plausible that someone would actually non-sarcastically think this.
