I've noticed that many women these days refer to men they deem undesirable as "creeps" or "creepers". It doesn't matter if the man is actually genuinely creepy or not, if he's unattractive, he's given that ridiculous label and humiliated.
When did this trend start and why? I find it to be very juvenile. Thankfully I don't think it's caught on in my country of birth yet and I hope it never does.
What do you think? Have you ever been called a creep or a creeper before? What is a good and effective rebuttal to such nonsense?
Maybe the guy does not want to date older women. Lets face it, older woman carry baggage such as kids, health problems, bad attitudes, and bad credit.
Not saying he has to. But if I'm out at a bar and a man old enough to be my father approaches me and offers to buy me a drink (know from experience) I (personally) get creeped out. Not saying all women, thats why my list explicitly states "In MY book".
To me Pee Wee Herman is a real life creep from what we saw of him in the media. Even though some may view him as cute and harmless.
Oh good grief, the man was in an adult theater doing what people in adult theaters tend to do. You may find it gross or weird, but that has nothing to do with whether someone is "harmful" (i.e. not harmless), especially if you are implying he is a predator or pedophile. He got rich making a total dweeb of himself on television. He's a grown man who enjoys watching pornography. Neither of those things makes him a creep, other than your being squicked out by the juvenile way he presented himself.

Oh and the older men don't? please. I am often approached by men old enough to be my dad and it's gross. I know women in their 20's approached by men my age and they all hate it. The only women I know who like being approached by older men are those with low self esteem or women approached by wealthy older men.
A.)The ones who stand at a distance and stare or watch you.
B.) The much older men who approach younger women.
C.) Guys who get angry or aggressive if a woman rejects him
Has nothing to do with looks and everything to do with how a guy is acting.
This. The only time I am bothered by unattractive men who approach me is when they are repulsive (as in poor hygiene)and usually rude (and I get this often). I will say though that Taco Man does the first one and at times it is creepy when he just stares at me all night.
For me, it's not the type of person that approaches me (older versus younger),
it’s the manner in which they approach me. If someone makes me uncomfortable by the way he is looking at me (looking me up and down), what he says to me (“Those pants look really nice on you”) or what he does (gets into my personal space if I have never met him), then he is deemed a creep or creeper by me. All 3 of these have happened to me during one encounter I had with a particular guy. I have had subsequent encounters with him at work and I have a reaction in the pit of my stomach that tells me something isn't right. I can't help it with this particular guy.
Someone just coming up to me and striking up conversation if he thinks I’m attractive is a whole different story assuming he is talking about something appropriate and keeps a reasonable distance. If I’m not interested, I wouldn’t think anything bad about him. I’m just not interested and that’s on me.

It's a way for a woman to "OUT" a guy quickly from her personal space. Calling him a creep is the easiest thing for her to do even when it might not be true at all. Any man who doesn't measure up to a womans standards or doesn't fit her criteria of the "ideal man" gets stamped with the creep label.
I don't get bothered if that's the best she can do. Sometimes I enjoy the look on some womens faces when I tell her to stop acting like a c*nt and take her capital b*tch hat off.
I think it started about 50,000 years ago. There have always been men who have low social skills and just act very weird or strange. They have that semi-crazy look in their eye.
I just had an acquaintance pass away... his nickname by all the women was "Creepy Larry". As a guy, I couldn't tell you why Larry was creepy but all the women got creepy vibes from Larry.
Womens intuition is usually right on.
''acquaintace''....i hate that word. It doesent get more shallower than that. I would dump my woman if i heard them say that word about someone. It sounds very distant and instantly makes this person sound distant.

So, if she doesn't accept your advances graciously, you call her names. Wow, aren't you the gentleman
I've thought very attractive men were creeps. Many, many times...it has nothing to do with how he looks, but rather how he acts. Every woman's 'list' is different as well. What creeps me out may not creep out my friend. I had a very good looking man come up behind me, stick his face in my hair and tell me I smelled nice. that creeped me out and I got up and walked away. Some women may have found that flirty..I didn't.
