Risk levels may determine the appropriate level of defensiveness, but the general principle I stated remains valid.

For example, where I live, there have been lots of known cases of women drugging men and stealing from them. There's one woman who's done it and killed a few guys, including a few well known small business people -- she's still out, "dating", while she awaits trial I believe. So I'd be 'fine' with guys around here being more cautious on that front, as there's more risk there.

But again, prejudging every individual as an imminent threat and treating them as such can go too far, and lead to more toxic relationships/interactions. Having a defensive posture doesn't mean lashing out at others / treating others poorly in advance "just in case" they turn out to be a threat. I realise this is likely a strange concept for you, seeing as you seem to have identified as an American in another post -- and you all are very keen these days on the idea of things like "Genocide all palestinians" and "Destroy all of southern lebanon" based on "some people there might be violent towards us". You're so keen on it, you guys even side with Russia now against Ukraine, because "NATO and the USA were potentially violent towards Russia, so it's fair for them to try and destroy that whole country!"
