Key Points from B.D.'s Street Smarts Conversation:

 

• Importance of tuning in and listening to your gut.
• Women are well-equipped with a sixth sense to tap into. They often "knew" when something bad was going to happen such as rape or an attack.
• The importance of "testing" the person to see if they have dangerous traits such as anger and arrogance. [18:00]
• Using elicitation and compliments to draw out his or her true character traits.
• Why being comfortable with "offending" someone is important.
• Importance of drawing clear and firm boundaries early in a relationship and first meeting.
• Being safe with first dates, especially internet dates.
• Meeting for coffee in a public place vs. out to dinner and drinks where you may be more vulnerable.
• Why dinner dates create more vulnerability ex. ploys to trade equal favor i.e. you owe me. And the vulnerability of alcohol as a way to dull your alert system and give him a way in.
• The assumption ploy. Statements to draw out his true response.
