Why are women so easily creeped out?

Question

I've been creeped out MAYBE once in my life. The idea of danger or threats are, instead, appealing to me. They offer opportunity of fight. But, it's like women are so easily creeped out. But, women always seem uneasy around me, especially when I'm showing romantic interest in them. Often times, they avoid me, and/or their friends tell me that I'm being "creepy" or "creeping them out." Is this just a dumb excuse on their parts, or are women actually this easily creeped out?

Ok, dude, look, lemme explain this to you, and to everyone else here, because HOLY FUCK there are some bad explanations here. (Pregnancy with inferior genes? Tf? Did someone really try to advance that argument with a straight face, now?)

There really are dudes out there who CANNOT graciously take "no" for an answer -- even when "no" is phrased with the utmost of class, grace, and politeness. Nope. These dudes get ANGRY, and self-righteous, and tbh the only thing stopping them from getting violent, right there on the fucking spot, is the fact that they would quickly be overwhelmed by an angry mob of good-guy onlookers.

They exist.

I haven't met too many of them, thank God -- and, I'm proud to say, I've met zero of them from the States (although the ones I've met, I've met IN the States).
But, even ONE of these motherfuckers is too many, dude. The existence of even ONE of them, fucks it up for ALL the rest of y'all.

Okay.

::deep breath::

Soooo...

You know what "creepy" is, then?

"Creepy" is shit THAT REMINDS US OF THOSE GUYS.

Even if you've not had the exquisite pleasure of coming across one of these... refined gentlemen, you can probably imagine what they are like.
You can probably imagine what their mannerisms are like; you can probably imagine how they invade women's personal space; you can probably imagine how they "approach" us, and talk to us (or, more accurately, talk AT us).
I'm sure you can imagine.

Especially, you can probably imagine how they might touch us without receiving the appropriate signals -- and how they might try to block our exit from the scene (OMG HELP -- girls, this is a good reason to learn sign language, btw).

So... yeah. Just don't do those things. Don't do them.
Then you'll be fine.

This doesn't mean you have to pussyfoot around and avoid confident approaches -- you just have to not be like Those Guys. Those awful horrible shitstains who fuck everything up for the rest of all y'all.

I mean, they've been fucking everything up for so long that the reaction is probably hardwired into us, by this point. I swear.

Now you know.

Wow. Cool. Not everyone else has a death wish, like you seem to have.
I'm allowed to feel creeped out when a strange guy follows me home after I've gotten off the bus late in the evening. I'm allowed to feel creeped out when a guy feels my thigh on the tram. I'm allowed to feel creeped out when a drunk guy yells at me in the street to take off my pants. I'm allowed to feel creeped out when a guy corners me at a party and won't let me move until he allows me to. I don't get creeped out for no reason and I don't know any friends who do either. If women constantly seem uneasy around you, instead of claiming that THEY'RE the problem, maybe reflect a little and ask yourself if there's seriously anything weird you're doing around them that would justify their reaction.

generally, creepy is when 1) you continue showing interest or pursuing her after she's already told you that she's not interested or 2) you make too much eye contact/touch her without permission.

if women are uneasy around you, it's because they find you threatening. do you stand too close? touch her without permission? hit on her after she's told you to leave her alone?

if all or most women are reacting to you this way, chances are that all 100 of them aren't the problem.

I know this is a weird question, but do you sneak up behind people or stare too long in such a way to make them uncomfortable or anything else which would be considered predatory on one of those nature animals in the wild shows? Do you invade people's personal space? Sorry if you don't do any of that but that's stuff I personally consider creepy and I recently had a question going about it if you want to check it out.

Feminism has created a false victim culture where they push the idea that ALL men are rapist and women should be afraid of all men.
They push it in schools as early as grade 5 with Social Justice classes offered to only girls. They push it with propaganda campaigns in posters and media, telling all women to constantly be afraid of men and for men to all stop being monsters. (Which 99% of us already aren't and the 1% are mentally messed up humans.)
They feed bullshit stats like 1 in 4 women will be raped, bullshit campus rape stats through movies like "the hunting ground", or falsified domestic violence stats.

Girls growing up in a society where they are constantly told every male is a danger eventually make women paranoid about all men and this helps feminism because those scared fragile girls are easier to convert to feminism.

*NOTE to the lynch mob: I go anon on ALL posts regardless of how mediocre. Don't bother using it as a shaming tactic.

Some women have good reason to be creeped out when they get creeped out. Those women I like to help.

Then there is the women that are just attention seekers, losers or whatever you want to call them. The ones that say a man is creepy just from him saying hi. Those types of women I have 0% time or patience for their crap.

letsnot · Answer

Anyone who calls you creepy when you're being romantic are basically telling you they aren't interested.

I had a guy tell me I was creepy when I gave him a rose.

If I were a cute girl, he would've reacted differently, but since I'm me and I'm not "his type" I got shot down, oh well

I remember that I would ask myself the same thing; "why do women get creeped out so damn easily, what the fuck is up with them and their consistent pessimism and paranoia when it comes to men?"

Then I have heard stories from various girls and women that I know... and then I started to understand.

We take for granted how much bigger and stronger we are in comparison to the average woman, and the fact that they don't know if our temper can flare up and will cause us to do something sinister.

Dude, not every woman is looking for a man. If she is interested she will make it known. If she is avoiding you, being cold, even also you creepy, that means she doesn't appreciate the attention. Most of us are just looking to get on with our lives. Its actually pretty rare that a woman would date some stranger on the street. We prefer going through someone we already know. Also, there is always the danger of the guy perhaps hurting us physically. There are a lot of messed up people out there. If you're leering, that is also a negative. So its very easy for women to be creeped out. Most do not know how to be respectful and only view women as a sex object, not as a person.

Bandit74 · Answer

This is just a theory I've heard but it does make sense to me.

Women can get pregnant and through most of human history could die while giving birth. So it could be argued that because of the increased risk they face, they have more of innate aversion to unwanted sexual advances, especially from men who are undesirable. This is because if they were to become pregnant they would be potentially risking their life and wasting one of their limited shots of reproduction on a baby with sub-par genetic material.

You talk about how you want to fight, you talk about how you've learned to hurt people and how "strong" you are and then you're confused about why women find you creepy? You're *violent*. Violent men mean danger. Violent men are creepy.

You might be creepy, or physically unappealing in some way that makes everything you do get judged that much harder. It seems like you are being creepy, but i can't say for sure. What do you say or do that their friends tell you you're being creepy for it.

GreatnessRevamped · Answer

Or maybe you are just creepy.

I looked at your profile pick, and I wonder what kind of fighting do you do?
You don't look it.

protip: Learn about self, and see what you can do to look less threatening (no one likes that).
and/or
go to places where your personality is more accepted.

"The idea of danger or threats are, instead, appealing to me. They offer opportunity of fight"

"I've done Goju Ryu Karate, wrestling, and some boxing.

I'm not going anything currently, because I'm focusing on my studies and powerlifitng, but I'd like to get into either Shaolin martial arts or Krav Maga"

"Oh, I plenty fucking strong. I'm not national-level powerlifter yet, but I'm still strong."

These all say "I'm violent and I know how to hurt people". That makes you creepy.

Lots of women get 'creepy' confused with 'uninterested' or 'dislike' it seems. You're not actually creeping them out, they just don't have a socially acceptable reason to not like you so you are 'creepy'.

Anonymous · Answer

Maybe the problem is in you and not the girls. If so many people claim you to be 'creepy' then you will probably are.

You claim that the idea of danger and threats seem appealing to you and how it offers an opportunity to fight. What did you think? Girls would get turned on by that? Heck that's a sign to run for cover and hide.

lacorine197 · Answer

Dunno, there's even times where I'm not even trying to talk to them, I'm waiting for the bus, then they feel uneasy and creeped out like i'm going to hit on them like I clearly have no interest and i don't hit on strangers sorry.

Dtegesd123 · Answer

My friend gets that too. He is married so no sexual staring there. But both of you have beards, Maybe you do his blank/death stare too? Or it could be a rude way to reject you, which is immature.

prolly cuz a lot of us have faced creepy and are surrounded by stories of bad things happening to girls which makes parents overprotective of girls and us a little too wary about it.

When women are approached by guys who they find unattractive, they get creeped out. If those same girls found you attractive, it would have been a different situation.

If they feel uncomfortable and not attracted to the person, they are creeped out. I know it's kinda messed up but in my opinion that's just how it is.
