I can remember being at the house warming party of one of my friends and her partner when I was in my early 20s. One of her partners friends (we’ll call him J) I recognised from previous nights out but had never really spoken to him. I got talking to him that night and he stood out as seeming so polite and pretty quiet compared to the rest of the loud mouthed and drunk lads who were there. I felt he was a “safe” choice to be spending time with. (Turns out I’d have been much better off with a drunken loudmouth!)

I had already arranged that I was staying over the night in their spare room so once most people had left I went to get ready for bed.Just got myself into bed, and in walks J! Said he can’t get a taxi home so he’s also staying the night. And since there’s only one spare room he’ll have to share with me. I’m another case of being too polite and naive to say anything 😭 I said okay that’s fine! I was fully clothed, not TOO drunk, plus he seems a perfect gentleman. what could possibly go wrong I thought?!
He kissed me, which although I wasn’t really up for I didn’t resist him either. His hands then started wandering down below and I lost count of how many times I physically grabbed his hand and moved it away from me! For a while I literally kept my own hand between my legs as a block to his hand, and later his cock as he clearly didn’t take the hint! Eventually he gave up but i did not sleep a wink that night, thinking why have I got myself into this situation.
The next morning when we were downstairs for breakfast I just remember thinking let’s keep this as brief as possible and I’m going straight home.
J had beaten me downstairs and I later found out he had told my friend and her partner that we’d had sex all night and how great it was, and he wasn’t expecting me to give it up so easily! I obviously told my friend later what had actually happened, and what an absolute creep that guy was. He very rarely gets invited out by the rest of that group of friends now because they all know him as “creepy J”, because of that night and also previous nights which I wish I’d known!

it’s so stupid but I Remember not wanting to cause a scene by waking my friend up who was in the next room. I also didn’t want to sneak away and have to get a taxi home alone so this seemed the “safer” option 😣

You didn't get yourself into any situation - you did nothing wrong ❤

There was a guy that worked at the same place I did in the 90s. There was a large crowd of us in our twenties/thirties who socialised together. So this guy was in the crowd. I didn’t like him so never accepted invitations to parties after pub/club hours at his house. Two of my female colleagues woke up at his house, having crashed there, with him having sex with them.

The guy moved with work to Oz as well as a few others from that crowd. I few years back I was over there on holiday and meeting up with the old crowd. The guy luckily was out of town that night or I wouldn’t have gone. I wasn’t going to socialise with someone I know to be a rapist, even if he was never reported.

My house was broken into during the night and two blokes came up my stairs (I didnt know what/who it was at the time ) I just heard the noise and my bedroom door start to open. I shouted as thought it was my son messing about ( he was a terrible sleeper) and I scared them off.

Police caught them and apparently they thought my house was unoccupied (I had been decorating so no curtains up) so maybe they assumed I was doing it up prior to moving in 🤷‍♀️ I dont know (surely they must have realised it was occupied when they got in but anyway that is what they said) they got sentenced as they had burgled a few house in the area in the weeks prior.

Really lucky that they legged it when I screamed and I dont think they meant me any harm but still bothers me now and if I hear a noise in the night I'm up shouting like a maniac and switching lights every light on from my phone (all hive operated).

Another one, I was walking home through a park with a friend one night and we were flashed, to be honest we just laughed. We were only 16 and didn't understand the seriousness of it.

The latest one I cant say much about other than I am a witness in court in a couple of months after a very strange experience with a guy who I found out later had sexually assaulted someone minutes earlier a short distance away. When the case is over and done with i will post more detail but for now probably best I dont say more.

Finally on the weird end of things I was on the bus home from work (it's so much less hassle than driving and the stop is outside my house) and I was listening to music and just chilling and I looked out of window and we were going over a motor way bridge flyover as usual and then past a shopping centre and pub (same journey as every other day). Anyway a few minutes later I looked up and we had not even even reached the motorway flyover yet! It was like some weird time lapse thing, really odd.

Thank you for saying this, I obviously realise this now but it took a shamefully long time to see it this way.
It’s by no means my scariest story, and nowhere near as frightening as some I’ve read on here, but the man in the story is the biggest creep I’ve encountered, so after reading this entire thread over the last couple of days I felt the need to open up about my own experience.
As others have said it’s so sad that 99% of women have at least one story of feeling threatened, intimidated, harassed etc by a man.

It happens so fast. You've just reminded me of an incident that happened when I was about 10.

I was on holiday with my Aunt and my younger cousins and we were at the pool. I was busy doing handstands and stuff and as I surfaced on one occasion I saw my 3 year old cousin step off the side of the pool and drop like a stone into the water. I got to her really quickly and pulled her out. My Aunt was beside herself. She had got distracted looking for my cousins armbands. It literally just takes a second for it all to go horribly wrong.
When I was a baby we lived in South Africa and had a pool in our garden, my mum told me that one time I was in my Walker (one of those ones the baby moves around in) and wheeled myself into the pool. Luckily i just floated in it until she got me. It’s now law in South Africa that all pools must have childproof fences and be covered when not in use

I have a few stories but this one comes to mind. About 5 years ago ( I was 28 at the time) I was in a new village and came across a church. I love new churches and wanted to go in. There was this man ( late 50’s maybe early 60’s but looked lively enough) who approached me in the car park, honestly out of no where. Like bam and he was in my face. I got such a fright. He had a look in his eye and kept bending down towards me to talk to me.

I was hyper aware of my surroundings at the time cos being in a new village and all, also being by myself. He said “ oh do you come here often” and when I smiled, said hi and walked away he half ran following me, “ oh you like to pray” and I half smiled but ran towards the church telling him I was rushing and had to be on my way. I got the strangest feeling from him.

I ended up not feeling safe in the church so didn’t bother going in, just made it to the steps and dashed away. I always believe in trusting your gut. He might have been harmless but I got ted bundy vibes :/ something felt way off. It was so so creepy

I'll share a funny one...

A good few years ago I was at the bar ordering a drink when a guy to the side of me copped a feel of my arse. However as my arm was at my side and I luckily managed to grab his hand and pulled it up to his face. By this point his hand had gone all floppy, I think he was trying to pretend it wasn't his 😂 and I shouted Do. Not. Touch. Women. Without Permission. and hit his face with his own hand with each word. 🤣 I turned back to pay for my drink and realised the bar staff were pissing themselves laughing. The groper with the floppy hand left before he was asked and my drinks were free 😁

When I was younger we used to go on a music weekend to a hotel in felixstowe, it was an adult thing but there were four of us young/teenage girls - I was 12/13 at the time. Anyway everyone used to have dinner in this private dining room at the back of the hotel and us girls used to have a table in a room off to the side (had like an archway between the rooms). We used to mess around waving out the window etc. One night this man was looking at us through the window, and a few minutes later he walked in and sat on the sofa in this little side room smirking at us . Luckily my grandfather appeared and sat next to him, looked at him and the man literally stood up and walked out. It was so creepy, he would of had to walk through the whole hotel, through the dining room and past all the adults. A few years later when the Suffolk strangler was on the news my grandad was sure it was the same man. Really creepy and has always stayed with me. Another night at that hotel we went to get something from our room and my friend and I were sure we were being followed and locked ourselves in the room and called from the room phone for someone to come and walk back down with us, we were really scared.

Like most of us there’s been lots of scary instances with men but this one is really etched in my memory.

When I was 18 I was on a bus to work on a very early shift. A man got on and sat directly behind me. There was only me and him on the bus. He kept rubbing my arse through the gap. I was frozen on the spot. I don't know what came over me as I was quite meek when I was young but I turned around screamed at him not to touch me and I got off the bus about 5 stops early. I don't know why I did that because he easily could have followed me off but thankfully he didn't.

Another incident around the same time, I shared a taxi home with a friend. She got out before me and I continued drunkenly chatting with the much older taxi driver. When we got to my street I asked him to let me out at the green before my house and as I was paying he grabbed my hand and tried to forcefully pull me in for a kiss. I hit his hand with my stiletto and legged it leaving my change behind.

I might add that I always looked young for my age. I would have passed for a young teen in my early 20s. It makes my skin crawl as an older woman now.

I went on a couple dates with a guy I met on tinder who seemed really great- nice, respectful, good/professional job etc. on the 2nd date we drank a lot but I was tiny then and a lightweight (I used to get blackout drunk a lot which makes me cringe now). We were in my house just having a last glass of wine and then literally the next thing I knew we were having sex and he had his hands around my neck and was calling me a “dirty bleeping girl”. I froze and he eventually stopped. Then he got his stuff and left saying I obviously wasn’t into it. Well, yeah. Still makes me shiver. Strangling someone during first sex when you’re both drunk? Idiot. Hate what has been normalised by porn.

How awful is it that my reaction was “thank god he stopped” my standards for men are clearly beyond the bare minimum

totally.... and i remember not reacting at all, just freezing up and hoping he'd stop, i didnt tell him to stop or anything. i dont know why i just couldnt. i look back now and think if only i'd called him out!
i also remember apologising for not being into it when he was getting dressed etc. and hoping he'd text me the next day. sad i know. i have much better self esteem now but only after a lot of therapy
