Furthermore, where do these creeps come from? I know a bunch of chaps, I don't see them acting stalkerish. The stories of pictures of penises and lewd comments on dating sites make it sound commonplace. A few of my buddies dated online, I can't picture them doing the horrors women write about.
Creeps.
Are they among us?
Have shady people infiltrated our social circles?
I come across many people of all ages during the day. None look obviously creepy. But that might be because I mind my own business.
Women are also often described as psycho if they partake in any behavior that is considered clingy or needy/dependent.
I have come across a lot of men that have done some pretty heinous things.
Stalking
Graphic Texts (number blocked)
Incessant Calling/Leaving insane voice mails
Physically Violent

Don't believe us? Create a fake profile on a dating site with an semi-attractive woman's photo and see what ends up in your inbox.
That "female feeling" you're mocking derives itself from a place of fear and uncertainty, a vibe that a woman gets. And that vibe is created by the man acting a certain way, talking a certain way, not because the guy doesn't look like George Clooney.
Everything from lewd and inappropriate comments, to inappropriate touching, violating personal space, lurking, following, those sorts of things. You can't tell if someone is creepy or dangerous just by looking at them, and maybe they're not actually a creep at all, but something about their behaviour is setting alarm bells off in the woman's head, and self-preservation kicks in.
And most of the time, the guy won't even know she thinks he's a creep because most women don't go around pointing and announcing it for all to hear. They're simply trying to avoid him, based on a gut feeling, not draw attention to themselves.
This.
And like Liberty stated, the guy won't even know his behavior is coming across as inappropriate or creepy because most women don't say anything, we just tend to avoid the guy altogether without stating the true reason why. From our standpoint, what good can come from a woman telling a man she finds his behavior inappropriate or creepy? It doesn't usually go over well.
My wife wont spend anymore time than is polite with her best friends brother as she describes him as "creepy", she says he makes her uneasy for some reason. He's a fairly normal enough bloke and has girlfriends so he obviously doesn't make every woman feel this way but there's something about him that makes my wife uncomfortable.
She would just rather not be in a part of the room that has him in it.

They don't go around with trenchcoats, they look like everyone else because they are just regular people often with families, etc. When I was a young teen back in the 70's and I used to hitchhike as my primary mode of transportation (back then it was not as weird or uncommon as it sounds now) the few people who acted perverted and scared me enough to jump out of the car were never weird looking or scummy looking guys, they were guys in nice suits and ties driving nice cars to their nice suburban homes and families. Look at Anthony Weiner, if this didn't come out, would you know by looking at him? Do you think the guys he worked with, played golf with, had him over for family gatherings, had any idea what he did in his private time until it came out?
Because men outnumber women by almost 10 to 1 in the violence stakes.
Where exactly do you get this number? I agree with most rest of your post though.
And Once women come up with the definition of what "creepy" actualy means, this discussion would have merit. As it stands, its pretty much any action or words spoken by an approaching men, whos is undesireable. Same actions and words by a man approaching that the woman likes is called courtship.

Men are basically capable of some horrific behaviour, much much more often than women. They are action driven so stalking is an "action" an unhappy or unrequited man will sometimes turn to, to feel like he has control again.
You all have the "action" hormone but we've got the "caring" hormone.
Basically we sit around the campfire looking after the children while the blokes go out catch dinner. Anthropologically speaking.
Women usually hurt themselves, men strike out and hurt others.
ETA: I thought you went to high school?
I don't think the feminists will take kindly to this...

Im surprised you really have to ask this. Is it not obvious that overall men are more aggressive and dangerous than women. Forget crime stats just slight observation of the world around you would bring you to that conclusion.
There are creeps everywhere, both male and female. I mind my own business too but that's kind of what makes them creepy, they infiltrate your space and intrude into your privacy. I have never done on-line dating so I cant comment to the pictures but I have had my fair share of lewd comments, looks, and gestures up close and in person as well as inappropriate and scary behavior. These creeps can be total strangers or your next door neighbor, teenagers or old farts.

Have you even been reading this thread?
It's got nothing to do with desirability or attractiveness. It's a sense a woman gets in her gut, something about the man's words or actions that is causing her to worry, feel unsafe or in the extreme, fear him.
