Yes, I will tell you it's something I give myself credit for - survival instincts. We all play to our strengths - under pressure, I start reasoning and arguing. I may have bored him - eventually he simply left.

Re: the dark knight |
A friend of mine was once walking home when a guy jumped out of the bushes, very stereotypically, and tried to rape her. She lost a shoe in the struggle -- and then picked it up and started hitting him until he ran off.
Another friend once stopped on the road with a car problem. A guy stopped to "help" and tried to rape her. She hit him with the tire iron.
Strong women all. But you survived the full crappola experience. Amazing.
What's the stat? One in three women? One in four? When I was very young, I thought that was maybe an exaggeration -- until I started hearing stories.

Re: the dark knight |
Yeah, most women have some kind of story of disaster or near-disaster. Like your friend I was attacked by someone who quite literally jumped out of a bush and grabbed me. It does happen. Date rape or acquaintance rape is much more common, but there is also such a thing as a totally random attack. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Re: the dark knight |
Whoaaa...I am impressed, and sad, for it's terrible that you had to experience that (perhaps contributing to the amazing person you come across as here and via email).
I am happy to be able to call you friend, and again impressed that women like you, my wife, and others, have so much more strength than I do!
And, knew this was an issue we'd be on the same side...
