When an attractive guy flirts, it's charming. When an ugly guy flirts, it's creepy. True or False?

Question

When an attractive guy flirts, it's charming. When an ugly guy flirts, it's creepy.

This seems to be the impressions guys are getting, and it seems to be something the girls actually think, lately. Is it true. Is it that simple?

Anyone who picks C, explain.

Appearance plays some part.

But mostly it depends on what he says and how he acts. I don't associate "creepy" with physical appearances, I associate "creepy" with following me at a party, listening to my conversations and jumping in to talk to me while purposefully cutting everyone else out, making crude or sexual jokes or trying to ask me about my sexual history, trying to touch me (I have some personal space issues, but if we've just met then you should not be trying to touch me anywhere)...

I don't know how any guy could qualify any of that as flirting but it's happened to me multiple times from both cute guys and not-so cute guys.

Creepy is how you present yourself, not how you look.

to be honest, pretty much. yeah. I voted yes. I think a lot of girls aren't being very honest with themselves. we want to be nice, but it can be hard. it doesn't mean I'm mean just because I don't let an ugly guy flirt with me. I don't have to let anyone flirt with me. and its also not %100 true of course that is happens that way...less attractive guys can be very sweet, making them attractive and then successful at flirting. but yes, this is typically how it goes with me and how I see it go with others. I like to think I'm a very openminded person, but even with that, most ugly guys would be very lucky to get a hug out of me.

Not true for me. I've had guys flirt with me and I didn't find them attractive at all, but the way they approached me was not creepy at all to me. On the other hand, I've seen guys and thought "wow he looks really handsome" and then they opened their mouths and attempted to flirt with me and I was just thinking "oh please just get lost".

It is just that the attractive guy can get away with some stuff depending on his looks.

If both flirt badly they are a creep. But the attractive guy can get away with some leeway from some girls.. notice that I said '' some'' .

If both flirt good then the attractive guy has the advantage of looks.

So I would say it is partially true

Clinkz · Accepted Answer

Partly.

If we take looks aside and think about other things like experience. The attractive guy will have more experience handling situations like flirting so even if they both are at the same level of attractiveness the ugly guy would still be at a disadvantage.

pr3ttybr0wn · Answer

It's only because a lot of ugly guys are thirsty, desperate and don't know how to take rejection that they get labeled as creepy. Plus, who wouldn't want an attractive person flirting with them? Would you want Precious flirting with you?

iluvchewbucca · Answer

Mostly true...

However, it also depends the way in which either of them is flirting. Sometimes even if he's good looking, the way he's flirting can come off as creepy. & depending on how unattractive the ugly guy flirting is, is how it can affect the creepiness.

But in general, this goes for guys too, if the girl or guy flirting with you is totally unattractive to you, it's not gonna be much of an exciting moment. Every single person if given a choice would much rather be approached by someone they find attractive as oppose to someone who is a complete turn off to their specific liking. Right? Right.

Yep it's true, I know girls who deny it... then later they're all googley eyed over some well known womaniser, you tell them he's a dick and they either say I know, or no he's not he's lovely... end up dating him in either case. Then complain when it blows up in their face about how he was 'secretly' a complete knob. I know it might get a bit of female hate, but I've seen it happen on more than one occasion.

Yea I think it is.  I've seen some really attractive guys hit on girls with the dumbest lines and making it completely obvious what they want and get the girl with no problem.  I have other friends that are less fortunate in the looks department and get shut down with no hesitation even though they have everything else going for them.  Guys are exactly the same though, so it's not just women.  Just a simple fact of life, that's all.

lumos · Answer

Nah. It depends on how he flirts. If he says some generic pick up line and acts too up front and sexual, then yeah, he's creepy. But Ryan Gosling would also be creepy to me if he decided to walk up to be all aggressive and stuff. Not cute.

An ugly guy can very much become cute to me if he flirts the right way. I had a crush on Disney's Quasimodo when I was like 10. I'd choose him over a creepy Ryan Gosling any day.

AvaMarina · Answer

For me, it's more a matter of how they're flirting, but I picked C.

Creepiness mostly depends on what a guy says/does. I've had some fairly unattractive guys flirt with me, and most of the time I don't think they're being creepy, even if I'm not interested. Just recently, an attractive guy was flirting with me, but he was acting really... well, creepy. And I did notice that.

But I'll admit that I'd be more likely to look past a few creepy comments from an attractive guy than an ugly guy.

Artistgirl18 · Answer

I mean, one of the ugliest people I've ever known flirted with me, and I was in love with him for years. I also dated another one of the ugliest people I've ever known for two years so it really isn't about looks. Although their personalities sucked ass too, so I guess there's something wrong with me.

ThisLife · Answer

Attraction is usually only at first sight. If he's both attractive and knows how to flirt, and treat a girl then obviously he's gonna be wanted, but if he's just attractive but is an idiot most girls will be able to tell that. If they chose to ignore and get with him anyway then you're not missing out on much.

Tabra · Answer

To me it is all based on the way someone flirts with you, a attractive guy can definitely be creepy and an "ugly" guy can be charming. I have had so called attractive guys come up to me and think oh its OK to try and put my hand up your shirt and compliment your rack. Not charming, creepy no matter how you look.

Question of the year and I agree  its a 10000% true any female user on here that says no is living in a fantasy land. Of course good looking guys get away with flirting hell they can get away with murder. I don't flirt because if I did I would be called a creep, scumbag, stalker you name it. I'll probably even be arrested for saying hello to a girl.

Theguyoverthere · Answer

Not true.

The problem is that the ugly guys mostly use creepy ways to flirt, like stalking a girl's job or coming on way too needy. If an attractive guy did the same stuff, he'd still be considered creepy.

harveykinkle · Answer

Creepy is only when you continue to flirt after the girl says no. Attractiveness doesn't matter.

I think it's more so the attractive ones that come across as creepy because they're not used to hearing no and continue to pursue.

xzinax2 · Answer

that's how humans work. if a VS model hits on you I'm sure you'd be cool with it,but if thatcher called you a stud and pinched your ass you'd run.

Anonymous · Answer

false.  it's not what you look like at all that makes you creepy or charming they are both personality traits.  it's your mannerisms and the way you interact with people that makes you creepy or charming.

FlyingTurtle · Answer

No--when a CREEPY guy flirts, it's creepy. Not all ugly guys are creepy, thus when they flirt it's not creepy, it can just be a little awkward if you aren't attracted to them in the slightest.

confugirl · Answer

No. It's only creepy if the guy persists when the girl clearly tells him to back off, no matter his attractiveness.

ninetynine · Answer

Naw, this isn’t true. I’ve met some guys who I initially wasn’t attracted to that have game, and don’t sound creepy at all.

Anonymous · Answer

Most of the women comments are politically correct ones but not the truth. The truth is   option A for women who are slighty below average  looking to smoking hot.

kangaru · Answer

B I never find flirting to be creepy regardless of looks

Anonymous · Answer

It has more to do with how you flirt, I would think.

Lj238 · Answer

Yeah generally. There's a few exceptions but that's how it normally works
