How not to come across as creepy.

Post Reply New Topic

arrgh! How aweful! Especially the testicles coming out of the shorts.... why!! ! Well, that trumps the creepiest creeps I've met

It arouses them knowing that girls can possibly "see their bits". Yeah its pretty inappropriate. That pretty much sums up creeps.... inappropriate

I don't feel so bad anymore. I still feel a little creepy, what with being the quiet guy in the corner that can't make a move because any move he makes is so incredibly awkward that it's an instant turn-off, but that kind of beats my creepiness out. And at least women don't avoid me entirely like they would that guy, they just keep themselves at arms length...

ooh wow...that is truly wierd!

I understood the joke as you describe it, so at least your humor is functioning perfectly. Is it running on a separate circuit maybe?

Vibes, not making enough eye contact, too much eye contact, staring, not looking at all... Hmm, these are exactly the things we're bad at. Sounds like a minefield of things just waiting to go wrong. We're supposed to enjoy the challenge, right? This is one of the reasons I don't date at all. There's nothing about this that I find enjoyable.

Exactly, AS symptoms = the necessary recipe to look like a creep.

This could just be it. If a woman is very easily creeped out, maybe it's because she's insecure or lacks confidence. A female friend whom I would describe as a very confident, secure "alpha" type doesn't find me creepy at all.

You would wonder if he's had previous convictions for sex offences. No surprise if he had yet another after that episode. That's not merely looking at young girls. He's actually making it obvious that he is perverted.

1. I don't see why you can't ask someone their name. I usually don't because names don't really matter to me unless I want to add them on Facebook or something. Normally while chatting to girls, they tend to ask my name anyway. Besides, I couldn't care less for dating. If they don't act like they're interested in me, I won't bother chasing them up or crying over spilt milk.

2. Someone asked what's so wrong about asking their age. Really, you ought to learn to make a semi-accurate guess as to how old people are. It's not difficult to tell if a girl is over 18 either - depends on the setting you're in and how mature they are.

3. Approaching someone in the street, unless you can prove there's an adaquete reason (wanting a friend does not qualify) is unlikely to work. When some stranger approaches me, they are usually begging, advertising/promoting something I don't want, trying to rob me, dangerous, or terribly unstreetwise. Saying "No, I'm not a stalker" will either make you look more like a stalker or like someone who is incompetent and annoying.

4. Saying/doing sexually suggestive things can actually make you look 'hot' if you know what you're doing. A lot of men have no clue, they mimic what others have done, and girls realise they're acting superficial, which is inappropriate and unwanted -> sexual harassment.

5. I once read about an old man meeting a 12 year old girl on Facebook, stalking her, then tracking her down at a museum before chatting to her. He tried to convince her with the classic "I'm not a creep / I won't hurt you" and surprise surprise, he was very under arrest. This just goes to show that some people just don't get it. By the way, what happens in porn videos doesn't equal what happens in real life.

maybe wear a t-shirt which says "i am not a serial killer!! ! trust me?!"
or one that says "because i have no stocking over my head, then you can be sure nothing serious will happen at this time..relax"

whatever .

I would wear a t-shirts which says "I am as creepy as Cullen".

a lot of this "advice" goes against exactly what successful guys do with women

this thread is crap and posts like this are why so many guys are scared of interacting with women, too many uptight girls overusing the word "creepy"

"don't do this that's creepy"

don't do that it's creepy"



if there is one thing i've learned, it's to not take advice on women from women

+1
It's been my experience that what a lot of women go for is very different than what they claim to want. When it comes to getting advice; you should always consider the source

+2
More "don't" advice that keeps the scared men scared. The opposite of what's needed to get better.

Its weird, but there are some guys I kind of have a yucky vibe from. When I am around them I have this feeling that there is something gross about them and I need to wash my hands. Once I had a feeling like this and then I was told that the man was a paedophile.

I have had this feeling 3 times in my life, and the men who I had this vibe from were outgoing, not the "creep" stereotype at all. They were friendly and talkative, but I had this feeling of "ugh" that I couldnt explain.

I am not very creepy, but socially avoidant, I hardly talk or interact at all to anyone who I do not know.

I have noticed a lot of creepy behavior in the past, one I wouldn't mind sharing is this: Going to lunch with a small group of friends, and the friend who is sitting on the bench right across from you is clearly making stroking motions under the table.
