How not to come across as creepy.

Post Reply New Topic

Well said Hale. The creepiest guys I meet are loud and in your face, stare at you and stand 2cms away from you. This one exceptionally creepy guy actually hovered around me, walking very slowly around me and behind my back, staring at me, to appear at my other side by the end of the sentence. He stood VERY close when he spoke and stared. Silent guys are fine.

I agree with both of you. There's also some that have the entitled, resentful, "I hate myself and everything else" attitude so deeply that the exude it. If you can't stand yourself, how do you expect anyone to want to be around you?

there is a man who sits on a bench on a sports oval who i noticed yesterday. he was wearing shorts and his testicles were hanging out of one of the legs of his shorts. he had his arms folded and he was watching some school girls playing soccer. he was creepy.
he seemed to pretend that he was unaware that he was being lewd, and he acted like he was looking around at random things like the sky and stuff. but every time he looked around at things, he eventually returned his gaze to the girls and he looked like he was in a trance when he was watching them.

one man noticed me and gestured "hello" (i was returning from a bush walk), and i pointed at the man on the bench.
he looked where i pointed, and i got in my car and i saw the man who looked at me approach the man on the bench who wriggled his pelvis to retract his testicles back into his pants. as i drove off i could tell that there was going to be a scene. in hindsight i should have stayed around to see what happened.

that was a true creep.

wow..... gross.

<--- and what advice you can give to a creepy-looking troll like me?

4. Do not ask too many questions. If the conversation consists of you asking questions and her giving terse answers, she likely is not interested. If she is interested, SHE will continue the conversation when you stop asking questions.

Hmm... okay honestly I don't find this to be good advice. Maybe it is for some women, but if I'm nervous and some guy is asking me closed-ended questions I'm just going to answer them. If I like him the odds of me carrying on the conversation smoothly on my own are very low because then I'm even more nervous and babbly. Just because you get awkward responses doesn't *necessarily* mean she's not interested... it just means neither of you know each other and so she's awkward.

Point two: I don't think silent, quiet guys are creepy... I like them better that loud in your face guys who I don't know why they are talking to me and are saying "cute" things like "let me in on the big secret."

Which brings me to point 3: Say your name, ask my name, repeat your name later. It tells me that: I don't already know you, you don't already know me (which answers the first question that comes to mind as to why you've approached me... have we met before)? And also helps me remember your name later because I probably forgot it right away because I was startled.

Point 4: Tie in to the above... if you're approaching me because you're interested, and we're unlikely to run into each other again soon, make your intention more clear. Don't act like you want to be friends, or are just talking to me randomly for unknown reasons. If you expect this to go somewhere, ask me if I want to get coffee sometime or something. Otherwise I'm left wondering what just happened, who you were, what you want from me, and why you were talking to me.

Insist that you're just photoshopped, and show this picture as proof.

That's way too much to remember. I don't even understand some of that. Why would asking for age be creepy? How do you get to know someone if you don't ask questions? I don't get it.

Well its bad manners to ask an adult their age anyway.

When a guy ask a girl if she's over 18; the guy is usually looking for something sexual I've seen some guys use that as pick-up lines. "Are you over 18 cuz you look a lot younger"

I've never understood this. When I was a young child asking somebody's age was not a problem, until one day I was told that "You musn't ask a girl/woman how old she is". Why not? The girls in my school didn't mind. People were always asking me how old I was. Why is it ok to ask a man how old he is but not a woman? It doesn't make sense, and it's unfair.

No it's not. It's however considered bad manners to ask a lady what age she is. Men generally don't care. There are more important issues to consider...

Yep.

get 4 of your legs amputated

Hehe, it took me a while to get it.

thanks for getting it but i was wrong.
it is only necessary to have 2 legs amputated.
as humans we have 2 legs and 2 arms which is 4 mobility appendages.
insects walk on all their legs and they do not stand upright, and i forgot that.

sorry i am not functioning well at the moment and i need some oil and i need my powerpack to be recharged.

i am now going to shut down for a few hours while my energy pack gets recharged. my voice is getting so feeble that it is like an old transistor radio operating on an almost flat battery.
