Ah, I like Lecks. It's OK for him to be a creep.

I only received 3 PMs since I joined:

1- A dying widow who needed my help to get her late husband's retirement money to charity. She is probably dead by now, since her doctor only gave her six months to live (and her message to me was sent more than one year ago).

2- A woman who asked me how I am. My reply was simply "I am fine, thanks. And you?" She did not reply, but what was I supposed to say? Anyway, she is not active since the day she sent me the first message so I will probably never know if she was fine, too.

3- A brazilian guy who said he lived nearby. I replied commenting on how we are practically neighbours, but he never replied back. A shame, really: it would be nice to have a friend who is like me.

None of them creepy, but all of them weird. And the latter two show a pattern of people not replying back to me, which is depressing: I must be the only person who is unapproachable even on the internet.

if a guy really thinks that a woman who posts on an internet forum who lives 1000 miles away, who (even if they stalked posts) they barely know, is their soul mate, thats pathetic and they really need to go outside and meet people.

I am so sad to hear that, I'm living a lie!

No, it's ok. People only message me very sporadically. I went through a very brief period of more intense messaging when I had a photo of my eyes as my icon, but it stopped when I changed my icon.

The above is the same pattern I get these days (with very few exceptions), or at least in the last year or two. And I see you've only been on here a year - I've been a member since '06 (although I come and go).

I've received only one PM with "suggestive" overtones from a female WP member. This happened so long ago that I don't even remember her username.

I get the occasional "hi, how are you" PM in response to posts I made in the eligible odd-bods thread since I've been here. Though there was that guy with the foot fetish who tricked me into an MSN convo. After that I don't really "befriend" people to simply be nice anymore. If you have a good post count under your sleeve, that's cool, I like using your post history to get a few clues about your personality, but if you have less than 20 posts no way, your PM goes ignored.

Nothing here has ever struck me as creepy apart from that.

And some of those who are over-complaining about getting too much creep attention are probably boasting indirectly.

It does make me wonder though - how many women will complain that a man didn't pursue them when he drops her like a stone after she told him she wasn't interested in him?

Works both ways.

No-one has pursued me on here.

I don't think messaging women on here obsessively means the guy is a creep, I think it means that they are lonely.

I wonder if boo refers to me here or not, even if he doesn't mean me I am probably implicated because I know I have said I have not liked being messaged by guys on here to that purpose, but to be clear I don't think there is anything wrong with the guys - they are not creeps or anything, I'm sure they are wonderful people, it's my own issues and my own problems that are at fault.

No, not you.

And the receivers are usually disappoint that my messages'contents don't provide what were promised in the titles :lol:

.

Maybe It's time to use an opposite strategy O_o

I've only met one creep on this site in my whole time here. He got banned from here many years ago for harassing women and sending them verbal abuse when they didn't want a relationship.

He lives near me and started harassing me off this site.

Yes, certain people can be annoying when they act like they should be your world and are shocked or angry when you aren't very interested in them.. but that's not creppy. Just annoying.

I think I remember that guy. I remember seeing that thread and women started saying he was sending them nasty messages. It made me glad I never contacted him. He was too far away from me anyway and he was looking for a relationship.

Could someone explain what is considered creepy behavior on here. Someone sent me a PM a few days ago about me being a creep because I mentioned how I was single & looking in more than a few threads. I may of been tossing the idea out there but I was NOT really trying to come on to anyone & I really did not think my behavior would be considered anything really bad or anything

In my opinion, that is anal, and that member had a problem, not you.

Quit being so hard on yourself, it doesn't suit you! I don't know what you look like, apart from reading your loose self-descriptions. (Actually, I have no clue.) But your personality is great. You hear?

Problem is you can't often tell who's actually deluding themselves and over-reacting online. Especially given that aspies aren't the most socially clued in people. Not to mention the term "creep" as is so wide and vague anything a girl doesn't like can be called 'creepy'. It's basically a word with such wide definition as to make discussion meaningless. Since no one can pin down 'what a creep is' specifically, it's all based on gut feeling and emotion. Not exactly the most sensible way to figure out who is just clueless/accidentally mistaken (due to aspie issues) and who is pushing the boundaries.
