How does a potential rapist look like? Does he always lust after a woman? Is he psychopath, sociopath or a loner? Does he publicly tease or harass women? Questions like these cross a woman’s mind when she ventures out alone after sunset. Every girl has been mercilessly lectured by her mother regarding ‘stranger danger’ at public places, at least once in her life. Nevertheless, any educated woman in today’s scenario would like to spot and turn potential lechers to the police rather than reforming her choice in wardrobe or compromising with her freedom.
According to the psychologists, it’s difficult, but not impossible to identify molesters, who may blend with the surroundings, rather effectively. Whether it’s a possessive childhood friend, a shy colleague at work or the housing society guard who goes great lengths to keep tabs on the female members, there are the asserting signs that give away the identity of these offenders.
5 Signs that Indicate the Underlying Rapist inside Lusty Men
- Possessive-Abusive Boyfriends: Extreme jealousy, possessiveness and territorial antics are the first telltale signs of a rapist. In case one of your friends is extremely possessive about you without reason, you need to be cautious of his intensions. If he displays paranoid behaviour and questions your activities, gets violent when you interact with others or threatens the men who try to approach you, just maintain a healthy distance from this guy.
- Aggressive Bombs: Rapists are generally psychopaths, who display extreme anger or aggression. They may not vent your frustration at you, but they certainly display anger at little things happening around you, particularly the incidents that shape your life, like a new career choice, your decision to relocate to another city or a new relationship. While they won’t latch out at you, you can easily interpret their disinterest by their silence and guarded expressions.
Beware of these Signs Abusive boyfriends, who end up pushing or twisting you belong to the same category. It’s because when they lose control, they might end up abusing you sexually to lay their territorial claims on you. Psychologists believe a rapist relishes in power that comes with dominating their counterparts.
- ‘Chipku’ Friends: They don’t respect space boundaries should be intensely avoided. While expressing their undying love for you, they end up placing their hands on your thighs, touch or hug you, fondle your particular body parts or tease you in public. Stay extremely cautious of them in discs and clubs.
- Attention Seekers: They demand your attention at the most inappropriate time like in the middle of class or late at night often turn hostile or become increasingly aggressive when you refuse them. They may also make you feel guilty for ignoring them or accuse of being uptight if you refuse to get physically intimate with them.
- Confusing, Self-Obsessed Personality: These people show immature behaviour. They’re so engrossed in themselves that they display little social conscience. They don’t empathise with others but go great lengths to give you a crying-shoulder. They ask personal questions and take great interest in your answers. Although they’re socially uncomfortable with opposite sex, yet in an intoxicated state, they turn extremely aggressive and possessive about you. They pay specific attention their appearance, have poor work ethics and spends a long time in self-stimulatory activities like masturbation or watching porn.
So, these were 5 difficult ‘personality types’ that every girl needs to stay away from. If you go by the words of Dr Shuvendu Sen (expert at Raritan Bay Medical Centre), a majority of rapists are narcissistic, anti-social or extremists craving for revenge. They usually develop these psychological tendencies during adolescence. However, at some point of time, they let their ideas and nature loose. That’s precisely when you can delve into their minds and discover their ill-intensions towards you.
