    Constantly being treated like a bad guy, no matter what you do or how hard you try gets wearing. Right it wrong, it makes some men apathetic.

      Either I look really non-threatening, or I’m just oblivious, because I’ve never noticed this. Probably a bit of both.

        I’m a bigger guy, about 6’3" and about 230 lbs, so I get that I look intimidating some times. But I’ve honestly just walked past a woman and smiled at them and get a nasty look. I go out of my way to put out a happy and positive image and still sometimes get looked at like I’m some threat.

        It’s tiring and honestly at some point you just stop caring. I stop smiling and reassuring everyone smaller than me to make them feel better, because what’s the point. I’ve become jaded.
