I don't think it's because we're told, but down to personal experience and how we feel. I don't feel vulnerable, regardless of the stats. Women are not as strong and I think that also comes into play. They appear more small and vulnerable and that's how they feel.
Put it this way, when I first moved out here on my own, I was going out on my own all the time and always got lost. One night I had my drink spiked and the guy followed me back to my temp apartment room without me knowing and tried to force himself on me and into my room. I'm not small and in the heat of it all I fortunately beat the **** out of him and literally kicked him bleeding down the stairs.
I came away with cuts over me and a bit of a battered face, but luckily I have the metabolism of an ox, so whatever he put in my drink took way longer than he anticipated to kick in. It did properly when he had left, I think aided by the adrenaline and I couldn't walk, passed out on the floor and woke up 15hrs later.
I could easily have a more fearful view on walking about on my own these days, but I don't. Maybe if it had ended differently I would have. That was once in my whole life, but women are frequently followed by creeps, tell guys no and have them ignore their advances, or generally tried to take advantage of. Whereas I am not.
Back in my clubbing days i would steal unattended drinks.
Also if you hang around the bar a lot of girls seem to return double's saying "its too strong", you can have em.
I might be immune though, its possible.
