<p>barrons…I’m assuming you are a guy? It’s different w/women…it just is. </p>
<p>I speak as a woman who sees how much unwanted/unsolicited attention you get just from being female as well as a criminal attorney who has read/worked on enough (graphic) cases to last a lifetime. Say what you will about gender equity – women so often are the victims (of men) – often someone they’ve randomly encountered, etc.</p>
<p>Caution doesn’t have to make you paranoid. You can think optimistically, like people and feel good about the world – just remember, though, everyone wasn’t raised the way you were or have your psychological make-up & limitations on behavior. It’s short-sighted to think otherwise.</p>
