Straight men you feel comfortable around

I think we all know about the opposite. I was having a conversation with a friend today about men who are straight, not related to you but you feel comfortable i.e. not threatened around. I'd say there's 1 colleague in particular who falls into this bracket. I don't know for sure he's straight but I think he is. There's just something very very safe and unpredatory about him. Obviously it's more important to know of and call out those who are the harasser and abusers, but just wanted to put this put there

I feel comfortable around all my male friends and family. There are a few colleagues that I feel uneasy with but because they are sexist rather than because I think they will attempt anything

I think it's interesting how little dialogue or knowledge there is among straight men about what makes them make women feel (un)comfortable.
