Why do most females, upon seeing me on the street, react to me as if I am a rapist out to attack them?

Question

This happens to me all the time, all over the place. Is there a way that I can prevent this from happening?

I dress normally. I don't wear anything or act a certain way that would make me stand out negatively. I'm just a normal person who obviously isn't treated as such.

Answer 1

random6x7 is right. ever since we were little girls we have been warned of the risks of strangers. every time we see a rape on the news, it reinforces it just a little bit more.

have a chat to your female friends. without knowing what you look like or how you act, it is hard for us to give you an example of why. many reasons are:
- we are alone
- the area is not well lit
- you are intimidating
- you dress like you are not a respectable member of society

there could be any number of reasons why women act like this. i would just suggest not approaching women who are alone, do not approach women in a dark area, do not stare at women etc.

Answer 2

We're trained, by personal experience and scary warnings, to do so. I'm sorry, it sucks for everyone.

We don't want to be scared, really. But when you're a woman, alone, it's hard not to get a bit tense when a strange guy walks our way. One in four women are sexually molested at some point in her life, which means that we all know someone who was raped, or almost raped, or who had a scary stalker boyfriend, or whatever. The news is filled each night with the latest kidnapping, or woman who tried to break up with her boyfriend and got killed, or a new serial rapist. We're warned everywhere what not to do and where not to go. My college's welcome pamphlet had a special section for women about safety. Actually, you'll find a lot of special rules for women: don't put your first name on your mailbox; use an initial. Don't travel alone, and if you do, get a hotel room on the second floor. Don't leave your drink unattended. Don't drink too much. If you're driving long-distance alone, pack everything in your trunk so it won't look like you are. If you're driving and get pulled over, flash your hazards until you either reach a well-light, well-populated area or you confirm with 911 that there's a police car in the area. Don't walk alone after dark. Don't dress slutty. It gets ridiculous.

Body language will help you here. I don't know what specifically to tell you, but if you keep relaxed and try to look innocent, that might help. Don't stare at the woman, don't keep glancing at her. Other than that, just thank your stars that you're not the gender that's supposed to be scared.

Answer 3

All this depends on context. If a female is out alone she often doesn't appreciate being approached by strangers for no apparent reason because there are so many crazies out there. Maybe you walk during the night when people tend to be more leery of strangers? Maybe you are physically intimidating..just in size? If women really react this way just on sight of you(running screaming) you might ask a friend about it. If you are approaching strangers, you might consider stopping this practice. If they are just trying to get home or to their car they might have left the building with their finger on the trigger of their mace can and this is not the best time to "make friends" with otherwise nice women.

Answer 4

well, there IS an element of paranoia among women (especially in urban areas), that's largely unjustified. But I've rarely gotten reactions like you describe except on those days when I was so hungover I forgot to wear my pants.

Maybe you need to take one of them lamooze classes and get all sensitive and all, or wear a turban, and remember to never go asking them how to tell a fresh cucumber or ask directions to the nearest peep show. Wear Dr Scholls sandals and fake a horrible limp. Or put on shades, trip over floor cracks and knock all the magazines at the sidewalk newstand all over the place with your cane.

Just don't put on a cast and struggle to load a barcalounger into your VW in front of a sorority house. That'll spook 'em every time.

Answer 5

It doesent happen to you only dude to the whole goddamned male sex.I should know i'am also a male.
A woman raped means every man on this planet is a rapist till proven innocent and if it was possible they would have a witness identification line up of all men on this planet if that was possible.
The reason behind that is the modern female pschye spawned by feminism.
This situation could be understandable in old times not in this day and age when females have ballbusting role models every where and it is an accepted norm to kick a guy where it really hurts.
Its about actually the fact that men should feel ashamed of their sexuality and suppress it.
I could ask in todays age how many females do you see leering at men and making lewd comments and yet we dont object its not because we like it but because if we protest we become offenders.
The female as we know it is totally not what it actually is.
You were able to notice this because you were not thinking with your little head ,try thinking more with your bigger head and you will realize that 51% of this world population is inhabited by evil beings.

Answer 6

You need to ask your friends around for assessment. Maybe your appearance defy you. You think your just any normal guy but transmitting some negative vibes towards women. Check.

Answer 7

Smile more. A lot more. Constantly look for opportunities to make anyone's day a little brighter. See where this gets you. We do give off energies and a lot of people are quite perceptive.

Answer 8

You must have that charisma, usually and this is a secret, people project on to others what they are feeling, so learn how to use it better, more to your advantage. It is called sexual appeal and people are afraid of what they are feeling inside themselves so the only way to counter that is to project it onto you in this way. Don't rape though, just allow yourself to understand this. Stop allowing it to make you feel bad about yourself, be that sexual person find a way to be more sensual with it and attract rather then repel if that is what you are doing.

Answer 9

Because of the feminist misinformation that any guy will rape a woman given half the chance.

Some are so paranoid that if you ask them out on a date it's sexual harassment!

Answer 10

You're probably just paranoid. Let me ask you this, do you think any of the following are true:

- We never landed on the moon
- Bush stole both elections
- 9/11 was a hoax

If you answered "yes" to any of those, you need meds.
