I think "creepiness" factors are more about the vibes one puts out. It's just the feel you get from someone. A poster mentioned someone invading your personal space and I agree with this. Men standing very close to you, for instance. Or giving you the "up and down" look, like they're undressing you with their eyes. That is very creepy.

I think the up and down look is only creepy if she is not attracted to him.

I think we're overcomplicating it - basically, if the advances are unwanted, it's creepy.

Ive never heard a girl call a good looking guy approaching her creepy and theyrs times the guy came off as a socially awkard creep..Hed probably have to ask to lick her shoes or soemthing for any creepy word to be used..

So ladies do you think sometimes you judge creepiness more by how the guy looks then actually creepy behavior?
Behavior, definitely. If they come on inappropriately or give off a weird vibe, and especially if they persist over time (again, in a not-normal, way), it doesn't matter what they look like.

I agree.

I was once hit on by a kid who must have been 17...this was only around a year ago! He saw me with my son and then made some remark about how he liked cougars. It was creepy.

Definitely. It's the vibe.

Or they stare at you from a distance whenever they see you, or just give you a cold stare up close with extreme eye contact.

Gents: it's no longer socially acceptable to look at a woman's chest when you speak to them, or give them the "up and down" look. It's NOT a compliment! Times have changed. Get with the times.

There is some truth to the looks argument, yes. But it's the way they approach, the look on their face, the overall demeanor. Hot guys can be creepy. Uglier ones can be sweet.

This hits the nail on the head.

Also: Brain power combined with heart-power (sweet and smart) trump looks.

If you have the toothpick in your mouth like Pal from the Uncle Buck movie, you are creepy

I guess women are nicer about that. The advances may be unwanted, but there's no need to insult those trying to make them.
