Unfortunately, there's no one stop shop or one size fits all solution to this, I think. If there were, bad actors would abuse it and it wouldn't work anymore. If you're around people regularly and you'd like them to know you're no threat, getting to know them in a neighborly fashion might help a bit, but I'm afraid that in general we're just dealing with a mass erosion of trust in general.
Yes that's what the strange woman wants, the strange man she's afraid of by default to make contact with her.
Sarcasm aside, I do not and will not talk to strange women specifically because I know they're already uncomfortable and I don't want to make it worse, plus I'm likely busy myself.
