It's not a new thing tbh, it's been a steady decline over decades.
I'm amazed at even the most BASIC common courtesies that people forget - as simple as saying "please", "thanks" and "excuse me", holding the door open for people (and saying "thank you" when someone does it for you), and just smiling and looking happy when someone catches your eye. Have some class and respect.
I work in a high-end department store, and I'm amazed how even there these things slip (and not just with the customers).
Another change today is that if a guy is holding a door for a woman or making any effort to be courteous and friendly, she will often take it as a double meaning. Some women today automatically take any niceness and friendliness from a guy as translation: I want you naked in my bed with me. Decades ago when a guy would show the same kinds of niceness, the women actually took it as him actually just trying to be a decent person.
"if a guy is ... making any effort to be courteous and friendly, she will often take it as a double meaning. Some women today automatically take any niceness and friendliness from a guy as translation: I want you naked in my bed with me."
The exact same happens the other way around too though.
if a girl is making any effort to be courteous and friendly, he will often take it as a double meaning. Some men today automatically take any niceness and friendliness from a girl as translation: I want to suck your D.
Which is probably why a lot of girls feel the way you've explained.
I'm sure they are. They worry about their safety and job security, if nothing else. Smiling, nodding and letting you down easy is general practise. For comparison, how far do you think you'd get with a guy using the same tactics? Oh, you wouldn't even try most of the time because you'd have a fair fight on your hands?
Is it true that morals and decency are dead?

It wasn't like that decades ago, was it? More people took things straight and trusted that the niceness they were getting was sincere, didn't they?

No, women still to this day are basically trained to be polite and gracious at your basic acts.
