Why is it some men get all offended if a woman they don't know is wary around them?

367. No, that was not the original question.

In this case, the man violated the social norms against approaching strangers. He is the one taking the risk that someone will react negatively to him, especially if he goes beyond simply saying hello. He has no right to get "in a huff" or in any way get upset when it is his own behavior, not his simply being male and saying nothing, that has put him at risk.

By the way, had the OP been a man rather than a woman, I doubt very much that the incident would have occurred. The man in the OP's incident was clearly not motivated by simply wanting to be friendly. None of my male friends has ever described another man's hoping to strike up a friendship at a bus stop in this way. They probably would presume that the approacher was either mistaking them for a gay man, or that he was about to rob them, or that he was unbalanced. And that is without the experiences that women have of having much higher risks of stranger assault than do men. If you were honest with yourself and with us, your reactions would not be what you are describing.
