Going opposite directions at night, what should men do if approaching a woman?
-
Scenario: It's night, and a man is walking home. He sees ahead there is a woman going in the opposite direction as him. Knowing not to stop or approach her, but his presence makes her nervous. What would help further in this scenario if anything?

Just don't be weird man, that's all you gotta do.

Nothing will help this scenario with just 2 people.
You have to add a third party. The man needs to have a female companion, or a happy friendly dog.
If I walk alone, my 250 pound, six foot talk frame is viewed as a threat. If I take my brother's highly animated German spotted pointer with me, people approach me and want to pet the puppy.

Say hi and keep walking.

You are already so far past being fuckin normal to make anything normal in any scenario so stop trying. The more you try to act normal the weirder you seem to everyone around you. Who the fuck puts this much thought into walking past someone. If you are really this nervous about it. Burry your head into your phone and be oblivious to anyone you walk past and accept the risk you might walk into traffic if there are no headlights on a vehicle.

Ah, so that's how you get them into the van.

I used to jog really late in the evening for many years and had this experience more than once.
My solution: Put my hands palm out flat in front of me as if to gesture I wasn't a threat.
If walking, doing something similar and not making it weird is probably equally good.

wave your arms is the air and yell "I am not a threat!" Seriously though, probably make a fake phone call, or look at my phone if she looks visibly nervous. I walk in the evening sometimes and have encountered other folks. I usually just walk straight ahead and don't make eye contact.

Play dead, women are like bears.

Sometimes I’ll cross the street if it’s safe and won’t have to immediately recross to get where I’m going. If not I just keep walking and keep my eyes to myself, as long as you’re not being a staring creepass or looking her up and down you’re fine.

What with the growing population world-wide it is not unusual to meet a human when you're out walking. Remember it's probably just as scared as you are. Try to keep your cool. Don't try to feed them, don't stare at them, don't photograph them. Don't run, or they might think you're prey. It's often best to just keep going and pretend you don't see them.

Pull out your phone and pretend to be talking to you mother on it.

I find putting a boundary between helps a lot. Even a basically meaningless one. Like walking on the grass while she takes the sidewalk. If you can’t cross the road.
If your really concerned call your mom or sister on speaker phone and chat with them for a min while you pass.

Or just call your mother. She worries about you.

All I know from doing runs at night is create a solid pepper spray buffer if coming from behind.

As a woman, seriously, just give me the bro nod to acknowledge that I exist but am not that interesting to you and keep walking. If you go out of your way to show that you aren't a threat now I'm thinking you're a threat, and if you pointedly ignore me now I'm wondering if you are actually far more interested in me than you should be but you want me not to notice.
Brief eye contact while acknowledging that I exist tells me you aren't afraid of me remembering your face but that you aren't being weird and staring or trying to hide from me.

Walk to the side of the sidewalk and make room for us women. Please don’t keep walking in a straight line and expect for us to get off the sidewalk.
I collide with men who don't move for oncoming people.

Start running until you pass her to make the awkward moment shorter.

Candy helps too.
