Do women really view every man they don't know as a threat?

I unfortunately have a tendency to be very nervous around men. There are lots of reasons why that is, but I'm also primarily attracted to men so it gets weird and yes I feel guilty a lot. It's simply survival instinct from earlier in life that's difficult to deprogram. More to your question, women I know don't often show that fear if they have it. It's extremely contextual in other cases if the woman in question doesn't have some kind of hangup (to put it as nicely as I can).

Women have all right to be diligent, but it unhelpful when pathological. And men shouldn't necessarily take that personally. Think of it this way: I lived with domesticated wolves. Absolute sweethearts and I loved them, but like some humans, they didn't know how strong they were and accidentally clawed my belly nearly completely open by a misstimed hop up for a face lick during playtime.

Men are more often in positions like my wolfy friends where they sometimes underestimate how unintentionally dangerous they can be. But again, please, be aware that this is unfair to project on everyone (in this case men) and I in no way condone looking at people this way even if breaking my own habit is difficult.
