In April of 2004, Elizabeth ( a fictitious name) a 19 year old female approached Julian Assange in a Melbourne bar. Assange was a 33 year old student studying mathematics and physics at the university.
"I started talking to him and he just seemed kind of quiet and nerdy. I didn't think he was sexy or anything. Just strangely alluring for a 19-year-old girl."
Assange flirted with her by flexing his mathematics skills and kidding her about being ignorant of mathematics and science. This is typical procedure for lecherous types who want to impress and establish superiority over their prey or victims. They talked until closing time and Assange walked Elizabeth home to a small village in the country. Along the way he kissed her, she was not impressed with his behavior, but neither was she turned off.
"It was like, fine, whatever," Elizabeth said. "He wasn't creepy about it, and he didn't try anything weird."
Before saying goodnight, they exchanged emails and Assange gave her his card with the image of a lighthouse and he rode the train back to town. No doubt he envisages himself as a guiding light for the rest of the world.
She soon received this email requesting a date:
She doesn't remember how she replied but she didn't encourage him:
"I wasn't into him," she said.
However, she was shocked when she received a phone call from him at her parents' house; since, she had not given him her phone number.
The call was understandably strained when he refused to explain how he had obtained her phone number.
"I was really cold because he somehow found out information about me and I didn't know how and it scared me," she said.
Undaunted in his quest for conquest, Assange promptly sent an email to chastise her for her phone etiquette; however, the real purpose is to discipline her as a parent would an adolescent and to establish a position of dominance and control.
She says she replied with a coldness to his entreaties; yet his technique is a continual assault of stages and progression, he has already instilled an element of self-doubt and the question of worthiness within his victim, a process that she will never admit to herself.
Assange tried another approach by recalling the romantic aspects of the night they met.

>>>Your tactical suggestion is not borne out by real world experience.
Never know ‘till you try.
You and your gang must get some sort of lift in your self-esteems by assuming your self appointed police role, or you wouldn’t do it.
Have fun.
Well, let’s see.
We’ve gone from “Sod off” to “have fun.”
I feel really good about this exchange. Merry Christmas!
