As a tall man who likes to walk at night, I have long understood that women alone at night do not wish to encounter me. So when I happen to find myself following a woman down the street, I will either slow down, cross the street, or stop and look at a sign or something for a minute to give her some space.
In a dangerous and shitty world, a person has to find subtle and quiet ways to express care, compassion, and solidarity. It costs me nothing to make a woman feel safer.
While working i am occasionally in parking garages which can be dark and creepy. If i see a woman walking alone I'll try to make some noise like pulling out my keys. People with bad intentions will be stealthy, hopefully they get that I'm not a threat
Using the word "SIMP" in this context runs counter to every example of protective familymen I've ever seen. Derision against his behavior is as good as calling yourself a creep, a predator, an enemy of all that is good and right.
You have the morals of an opportunistic thug ... yet I have no doubt you think yourself some kind of faithful man
Eh possibly, but many of the women I've slept with have told me that I make them feel safe and that it's a huge turn on for them. Shocking, I know, that people might want to feel secure before they get intimate.
