okay let's talk about what you should actually do about this. you are presenting hella masc, women are more afraid of you than a bear. you're on a forest path. if you flee from the forest path, that will look worse. do you turn around acting like you forgot something? use your AGGRESSIVE HYPERMASC STOMP to mime going back for your phone? do you say hello as you pass them? do you completely ignore them?
generally when I am on trails alone I just start jogging again if I spot someone way up ahead, but isn't that like charging at them? I just want to make sure we don't interact with each other. because silently ignoring people feels rude when I do it, I am happy to discover people might have thought I was a Netflix serial killer
look, I promise I know what to do in actual social situations. well, I know of SOME things to do. but stuff like this, I don't know.
I don't think people are imagining being on a path here.
Oh just like the forest dweller? That sounds terrifying
More like, imagining being lost.
But also, there's still ambiguity. If the man is clearly a park ranger, or part of a search party, or something like that, I think most would rather see the man there.
Oh well you can get lost on some paths without literally wandering through the brush around here or through taking side paths which have just kinda developed so I was just kinda thinking about it that way. That sounds like guys getting mad about a x (formerly known as twitter )thread like "even if i was doing a survivorman esque challenge got lost and had been missing for days i would rather see a bear than a stinky boy"
