That’s not true at all.
It probably wasn't true 20 years ago. But it is true now, young women do perceive you as a creep if you are by yourself. When I go to the bar (I ask for a cranberry with no alcohol) I am the invisible man. Nobody notices me. The rule is to never go alone to a bar to meet new people.
When women are alone in the gym, street, park, or the cafeteria they always
have earphones, so you can't really talk to them. Always. Earphones are my worst enemy. It is not easy to talk to young women, unless a friend introduces you to one, but that is my problem. I don't really have friends, so I can't make friends of friends.
Lastly, my city is really different from the rest of the country. It is a really bad city for singles.

It is not only that.

I know. The good thing is that there is a high probability that I will have a girlfriend soon.
