Americans Are Wary of Being Alone with the Opposite Sex (opens in new tab)

"A majority of women, and nearly half of men, say it’s unacceptable to have dinner or drinks alone with someone of the opposite sex other than their spouse."

It's called practicing good op-sec. Sexual harassment and assault are things. As a woman you don't want to put yourself in a bad situation or send false signals; as a man even the whiff of impropriety can destroy your reputation so you'd best play it safe.

I personally do not avoid women, but I do deny them my essence
