Why not just say hello instead of thinking the person is a creep. A simple hello could make someones day.
Now if its some man hanging around a playground or school that would be creepy.
People judge other people by their looks and thats not fair

Creepy usually means-"unattractive and anti-social"

My father is dead and I'm not married. Any other inane presumptions you'd care to make?

P.S. "Feminine" does not equal "cowardly," so your entire premise is nonsense. Thank you, drive through!

no one reads the posts of level headed women who have real things to say. Except Avienne's post in this thread, but they're still ignoring the important parts. NO NOT just ugly men. Men who:

-act very nervously and strangly because all they're thinkiking about is how close to the womans chest the are.
-firing personal question after personal question to someone you just met rather than gradually getting to know the girl
-staring insessantly

PLEASE someone tell me these things are 100% normal and I'm just crazy, then I can write you off for being an idiot rather than just wondering why everyone is ignoring concrete examples of creepiness and that it is a real thing! And did I list ugly anywhere in there??? Dont think so.

Thank you, Thatsong.

Personally, there is no way I will ever rely on, never mind hope for, someone else to come and save my arse, least of all a man.


Good thing you won't be getting old, then. Or wind up with some illness or, good grief, have an accident and wind up needing someone else to save your butt - we'll make sure the men just ignore your plight. I'll keep 'em busy.

I think this is the first time I've agreed with you. It's about time! Yup, it isn't fair.

Ah yes, on PlanetTV, all unattractive people are considered creepy. I mean, they couldn't be nice people or likeable even. It's all in the looks.

I'll be fair and state that most of the female posters here don't mean to sound like misandrists but they do. Much of it has been the conditioning they've been getting over the past 40 years of feminism.

Perhaps I didn't realize that it was so bad and the situation was so prevalent.

I guess its just the bad luck of about 70% of men that they look like these types.

The only difference between confidence and creepiness, is whether she finds him physically attractive or not...

A woman considers it creepy if a guy she doesn't find attractive approaches her.

She loves when a guy she finds attractive approaches her.

A guy who doesn't have the courage to approach her is not creepy, but rather unconfident to her.

Please point me to the posts that name looks as a basis for creepiness.

-act very nervously and strangly because all they're thinkiking about is how close to the womans chest the are.
-firing personal question after personal question to someone you just met rather than gradually getting to know the girl
-staring insessantly

I think it's fair to say that 70% of all men have been called "creepy" by more than one girl. They don't "do" anything but follow the recipe women have laid out... say hello, show interest, be confident and persistent. If the wrong guy does these things he's creepy. But if the "right guy" does them, he's dreamy.

Just as it is with guys, it's not enough to do the right things to win a girl's affection. You have to START OUT with attraction, THEN do the right things. The who is just as important as the what, if not moreso.

Be the "right guy", then.
