What makes someone a creep VS being just awkward?

Question

TDDMS · Accepted Answer

Here's two examples of the same concept for creepy:

1) My manager gave me preferential treatment at the expense of other workers and one night thought it was a good idea to travel 50 minutes to my house and stand under the street lamp looking up towards my bedroom window at 1 AM.

2) A doctor who thought it was a good idea to spin around, press her ass into my cock and start grinding. The same doctor who thought it was a brilliant idea to describe items behind my house, which can only be seen if one were to trespass onto the property.

Here are random examples of awkward behavior:

Stumbling to get words out. Holding their breath because they are smitten. Looking down at the ground as they talk to their crush. Not going out with their crush when he offers to take her out.

In a nutshell, one set of behaviors results in the use of either a restraining order and/or the use of the second amendment. The other set of behaviors, requires the recipient to gingerly navigate the situation.

Someone who is awkward is apologetic and exits when they notice someone is uncomfortable. A creep persists.

To me a creep tries to force a friendship or relationship instead of trying to attract your interest and win your admiration and respect. A nice guy will buy you flowers to get a date while a creep will tell you he wants you to talk to him because he is lonely. A nice guy will try to make you like him by taking off his jacket for you when it’s cold and a creep will try to make you like him by repeating his desire to date you over and over again.

Well in my being being awkward/weird are such people who have strange habits and those which won't affect the people around them, those habits, their nature is harmless by nature. It won't affect or cause any problems in other people's lives.

Being creepy on the other hand means the person has either bad intentions or not so good intentions, the person may resort to stalking, may be perverted by nature and will be reflected in they way the speak, may constantly message/text until the other person gets frustrated and replies in anger so in a way sadistic also.

There are plenty of example but what I have given is a conceptual answer.

Creepy to me involves touching and unwanted attention even when I've communicated disinterest.
If I've stated I'm not interested or said "no thanks" and you follow me around the club, mall, building, street... That's creepy and scary as shit.

I feel like there’s a lot of overlap but creepy seems more intentional than awkward. There might be awkward silences in a conversation because you don’t know what to say, but it’s creepy when it looks like the person is purposefully creating pauses to weird you out. It’s awkward to accidentally make eye contact with someone, then you usually look away. It’s creepy when someone keeps making eye contact with you “accidentally” and doesn’t look away. It’s one of those you know when you see it kind of things.

A creep is ignorant, persistent, creepy, hence creep Awkward is someone who tries to fit in doesn't know what to say or do hence awkwardness

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

Acting to far off the norm.

I had a stalker, she went from being a girl I could date to someone I had to get a restraining order against.

Someone not understanding ‘no go away’ , someone simply staring, bad or unknown intent.

JackofSpades · Answer

When chicks say they like shy or awkward guys and think it's cute.

She probably means things like stuttering, nervous laughter, clumsiness, that kind of thing. You need to try to be friendly but it's ok if you fuck it upShe probably doesn't mean shit like staring at her from across the room and never talking to her. Or not being able to make eye contact. Or mumbling one or two word replies to something she said. Just try to be friendly and polite, know what no means, don't retreat into your shell and shut her out when you get nervous. Keep in mind, if you're the kind of guy who's afraid of being creepy or making her uncomfortable, you probably aren't.

How attractive-looking they are. To women, that's literally all there is. Ugly/short/overweight men being interested in them are "creepy." Handsome/tall/fit men being interested in them are "flattering/cute."

deeks1121 · Answer

Being persistent with something where it inevitably crosses the creepy line. For example, if you say someone is good-looking.. that's a compliment and you might make someone's day. But try saying it several times a day and you get a different vibe
