What could say or do to make the woman not feel uncomfortable.

Hi, honestly as a female in my whole life i have felt that an awareness of male interaction/attention is hell scary and a lifetime anger that in this age a female still has to on guard.. i always used to put my car keys between my fingers... so on that trail if its usa I've got pepper spray or a tazer for sure... here in the uk.. there's fuck all lol i used to have two german shepherds. wasn't scared then... the man is either genuine, healthy minded man or a calculated predator so as soon as im passed im pissing off route to confirm he's genuine... I've had guys cross the road so to not make you feel vunerable.. always pretend or real talk to someone on the phone... as a guy when you have encountered any situation similar are you aware? that women are always scared?

Even if somebody is an evil psychopath, I do not stand out in a crowd of people. I am neither very good looking nor very ugly, neither very fat nor very skinny, neither very rich nor very poor, neither young nor old. I don't think a random person would hate me enough to assault me.

I mean, if she's hiking on a recreational trail I would assume she would expect to encounter other hikers

I don't know, it depends on how the guy acts. But I won't be reassured. 😅

I saw a post online recently about how girls feel threatened if they were walking down a trail past a guy they didn’t know.

I never really thought about that when I walk past women in my local bike trail.

I'd try to keep calm and look that way to him. Keep an eye on him and potentially move away when i could

[strawberrypancake]

well i would never be alone but if i was i would try waving hi and seeing how he acts

[Iron_Man]

They would be cautious

[Anonymous]

Yes, terrified.

What could the guy do for you to feel less uncomfortable?
