According to the NSVRC, 91% of victims of rape and sexual assault are women, and 9% male. And, despite being 49% of the US population, 96% of child molestors are male.
Furthermore a partner (boyfriend/husband) is responsible in almost 40% of homicides involving a female victim, compared with 6% partner responsibility for homicides involving a male victim.(Johnson, Holly; Eriksson, Li; Mazerolle, Paul; Wortley, Richard (2017-04-07). "Intimate Femicide: The Role of Coercive Control") //It's more likely current boyfriends than ex lovers who kill women.
Women experience higher rates of repeated victimisation and are much more likely to be seriously hurt (Walby & Towers, 2017; Walby & Allen, 2004), //in regards to domestic violence
I agree, it's definitely a small chance that you will be killed, especially as a male, but it's ever-present in the female subconscious that the danger could be there. My mom, my sister, me and my auntie have all be stalked, one of us escaped an attempt, it's not as uncommon as it seems unfortunately.
IIN for me to think for men that dating is high risk, low reward
