I'm not that young buck anymore.

I have a problem ladies. When I'm out and about in the sunshine how do you walk past a woman from behind? I've noticed that guys in their 40s & 50s are treated as a threat and women constantly looking over their shoulder or reaching for the car keys when you need to pass them. I slow down and let them get ahead to avoid that. I cross the road to avoid that. I walk briskly past and wide and wave a little hand gesture that I'm cool and you wont need to chop me in the throat to avoid that. But it happens a lot now and I'm just wondering if women exaggerate the threat in their minds these days as social media tells them we are so terrible? An example of how guys respect women. There's a lovely lady I see out and about on the highstreet. I got up the nerve to say hi by using an excuse that I thought I used to work with her 20-years ago. She was polite and said know I'm not that lady you know. She said gets that a lot,a subtle hint that I know you're trying a line sir! I saw her two days later and she just walked by and said nothing . I got the message. She is not interested and she knows and I know that if she reciprocates a second stop and chat I will perceive that she is interested. It ended there. I did not pursue it. I know the rules. Why dont women realise we know the rules. I'm in my 50s. I'm not old but not young anymore. I have all my hair, a trim 11 stone and great legs and dark blue eyes. I still think I am 21. I'm not handsome but Im not ugly. So why is it that every woman mentally labels single guys in their 50s out and about as bloody creeps? Even the 50-year-olds do! Are we all paranoid now that something bad is going to happen? I'm sure women do have bad experiences with guys chatting them up that are drunk or pests or whatever but that isn't me.
