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.
Because men outnumber women by almost 10 to 1 in the violence stakes.
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.
its a character attack against men, it stigmatizes them based on some female "feeling" about the guy's "creep" status, such as not attractive. like "he looks like a rapist" too.
honestly, there is really nothing a guy can do about it, just like when men call women wh*res and c*nts.... so do that when you think it was unfairly used against you. at least it will make her think twice next time she does it.

I am not a creep, and women aren't whores or ****s
I'm willing to be that every penis picture on a dating site belongs to some guy
Honestly, women don't do nutty and crazy things until they've gotten to know you. But men are more likely to make a creepy comment to a woman they don't know, especially a pretty woman. Sometimes it's because they don't think they have any chance with her, so they sabotage themselves. Other times it's because they figure if they ask 100 women if they want to hook up, there's a chance that one might say yes. Women will talk about these guys acting like that, because they're strangers. When a woman does something stalkerish, you already know her and have been in a relationship with her, so it's not "some chick I don't even know" but rather "my crazy ex," which makes her a specific person, not just a random creep.
Here is some information about why men would "appear" to be more violent and why women might be more likely to call a man a creep:
Quote:
Males are typically more openly and violently aggressive than females (Coie & Dodge 1997, Maccoby & Jacklin 1974, Buss 2005), which violent crime statistics support.
Some researchers have suggested that females are not necessarily less aggressive, but that they tend to show their aggression in more covert and less physical ways (e.g., Passive-aggressive behavior). For example, females may display more verbal and relational aggression, such as social rejection.[15][16] Additionally, some data shows that while men are more likely than women to use physical aggression overall, rates of physical aggression within the context of dating and marriage tend to be similar for men and women, or that women are even more likely to commit domestic violence against a partner.[17][18][19][20] However, such data generally shows that men tend to inflict the greater share of injuries in domestic violence.
So the rotten men are violent (and therefore they are more likely to be labeled creepy. But also, the rotten women are more likely to be verbally mean (instead of violent) and name call as their form of aggression. The outcome can be innocent men being labeled based on an assumption of their gender and innocent women being physically hurt by the men that really are violent.
And for what it's worth, "creep" is a woman's word. The equivalent thing that men call women would be "crazy _itch".

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.
