I think that most men find "stranger" rape repulsive but date rape is a 
different matter.  According to a study done by Dr. Mary P. Koss, a good per-
centage of the men surveyed believed certain things could be expected if they
paid for dinner, etc.  There were questions designed in such a way that would
find out if the men had raped without using the word rape.  They would answer
yes to these questions but no to the questions containing the word rape.  I
would direct you to the book _I never called it rape_ by Robin Warshaw for 
more info on this study.
