Overall, the negative view of men is also shocking to me. Not saying it is correct. I am naive after all. It is just unnerving to see people warn others about men who haven't done anything but send a message, as I am a male and females may have all kinds of reservations about me because I am male too.

I don’t see anyone having negative opinion of men at all. In fact there is nothing in this thread specifically about men versus women, just about odd behaviors. Could be men or women.
In my examples those people who inappropriately hit on me were men so my examples were about men. If they were women, examples would be about women.
I personally have no reservations about men whatsoever, in my long life I’ve met a lot of men but brought examples of only two behaving oddly so not sure what you mean by reservations. Hm. My husband certainly would not call someone he never met and ask to meet them just because I know the person. In fact none of the men in my family or friends would do such a thing. So clearly such behaviors have nothing to do with being men.
I wonder why you took this thread personally and assumed this is a generalization about men? It’s not the first time you do that. Is that something you might want to address with your therapist? Worrying that if someone knows some inappropriate man, it might reflect on
you?
