Aye, but your blue and white striped cycle top and yellow safety sash
with "FTP" in large letters doesn't help.

And there was me thinking he must be riding with a pink tutu and a sign
saying "Victim" tied to his forehead

If your posting name reflects your physical stature then this might hint
at the reason you don't have significant problems.

There really is a "victim mentality", and people can sense it just as
dogs can "smell fear". The OP[1] obviously expects **** to happen,
conveys this in his behaviour/body language, and thereby invites it.

rather than as a deviant personality purposely engaging in some bizarre
form of trolling.

Is he fantasising about assaulting someone himself?

Why aren't we demanding regular retests for motor drivers?
It's obvious a lot of them would fail so that'd solve the congestion problem too.

I don't think I display 'victim mentality' type behaviour. There are
enough people who have actually met me here who could judge. I can't
help being female. I was never physically attacked but was warned this
might happen.

I stand by my statement that cycling in Glasgow was unpleasant (but my
partner doesn't enjoy cycling round here either).

The reference was about the OP, who most definitely does display 'victim
mentality'. You just have to look back it his past posts to see this.

I think he displays "victim fantasies" rather than a "victim mentality"
