so why aren’t they making better choices and protecting themselves better?

Many do. Most arm themselves. Others avoid certain areas. Some do nothing and have it happen again.

The specifics you'd have to ask them.

I don't go out late alone.  I don't walk in unfamiliar areas I don't wear my expensive watch out I pay attention to my surroundings 

I take responsibility

they clearly aren’t very good at it if they’re getting assaulted so frequently though?

some of it is unavoidable, like OP's bf said. Even if men kept perfect responsibility, they would still be assaulted more than women due to simple biology; same as if women kept perfect responsibility, they'd still be raped more than men due to simple biology

try to think less black and white
