Instead of a nice girl you have to become a mean bitch. Don’t just try to push the guy away, but be brutal. Mental toughness, daring to hurt him badly, that’s what’s it all about. What can you do?
Use anything in your surrounding as a weapon: a pen, keys, your belt, a knife, a bottle, your handbag etc.
Aim for the weak spots: the eyes, the bridge of the nose or just below the nose, the throat, the ears, just below the ears (next to the jaw), the solar plexus (small place right in the middle, below the rib cage), the crotch and the knee joints.
Push your index and middle finger like a spear in the attacker’s eyes (leave enough room between the fingers to injure both eyes) or on the hollow of the neck (just below the Adam’s apple).
Keeping your hands flat and hit him simultaneously on the low side of both ears. So his head is in between your hands.
Press your thumbs just below the ears in the small indentation. Jab with your thumbs just at that spot and you might be saved.
Jab with a finger or drive your elbow in the solar plexus (small place right in the middle, below the rib cage).
Kick him in the groin.
Stomping his foot with your heel, using all of your strength.
Pulling his hair, not down but up.
If the attacker has you from behind bang the back of your head in his face or on his nose as hard as possible, using your head as a hammer. You can also drive your elbow in his solar plexus or stomp his foot with your heel.
If you are pinned on the ground or against the wall scream as loud as you can in the attacker’s ear.
If he is covering your mouth with his hand bite as hard as you can.
