Being an older gentleman, it irritates me that you can show affection to younger people, male or female and been viewed as a dirty old man. I grew up in an era where we were taught to be a gentleman and open doors for ladies and older people, something i still do today. There is nothing wrong with being a caring sharing person without having sinister intentions.
Yep
We were born too early into a different world.
This world is one where you have to check yourself and double guess what people might think of your actions.
It's one of the hazards of being a middle aged-older man these days.
The thing is that I strongly doubt that abuse and abusers were less common in days of yore.
It was just hidden a lot better, and maybe it's a price we have to pay for these things to be exposed.
