    Bystander effect is a real thing, you can’t be certain that the people milling about would help you. You also don’t know how many people were around OP at the time, you’re guessing.

    Stop telling women that it’s social media that’s scaring them about men. Start telling the men around you to stop scaring women.

    It is rude to approach a woman abruptly while she is alone and continue to talk to her when she looks uncomfortable. It does not make that woman feel safe. She doesn’t know that man only wants to small talk and you don’t know that either.
