Because it IS entirely possible to befriend a women and not come across creepy, regardless of your physical appearance.
This is very highly dependent on perceived relative status. I remember just standing in an entryway literally doing and saying absolutely nothing, watching a woman melt down into delusion and accuse me of being a creeper. If you can be mistaken to be a homeless person, it's a lot more likely. If you dress well in an expensive suit, you're immune. Heck, you're a bit over-immune.
- mikeleeorg 9y agoVery true. And there are cultural and ethnic biases to this too. I still see people who are able to bridge these divides and still establish rapports, if not acquaintanceships. Friendships/acquaintanceships are also two-way streets. Some people will have a very difficult time forming such bonds, no matter how socially intelligent the other party is, regardless of gender.
