The problem is you only need one woman yelling at you or causing drama, or one man getting overly friendly to get a very strong sense of having to be careful. Most people, male or female, are perfectly good people with some flexibility to take a bit of strife and emotional turmoil. A lot of the bad vibes between men and women are about a select few individuals or ordinary people in particularly bad moods causing traumatic experiences.

My experience has taught me trust and safety are important to women. Sometimes a man is not in his best state ready to provide that solid rock feeling. It is generally not a good situation if a woman feels she is bigger or needs to be bigger than the man and can't put herself in his hands safely.
