Why Women Call You Creepy

If someone called you a creep, chances are you deserved it

Women do not call guys creeps for being ugly--that is not a thing, so stop complaining about it. Girls call guys creeps if they are being creepy or otherwise making her feel uncomfortable. You may be creepy or exhibit creepy behavior without knowing it, but that doesn't make you any less a creep. If one girl calls you a creep, she may have been a one-off or the situation was sketchy, but if you've experienced a pattern of women calling you a creep, then that can only mean one thing: you're a creep

Why Women Call You Creepy

Before you go accusing women of being creeps, I will admit that is true. But women don't complain about being called creeps, so this is not targeted at them. Women who are creeps know they're creeps, and plenty of guys are into that, so they don't have to fear being rejected for it

Creepy behavior

Let's start off with some creepy behavior. In general, creepy behavior centers around unwanted sexual contact or desires. Even if you have no intentions of impressing such desires on a woman, she may still feel like the possibility of you doing so is a risk. If you don't want to be called a creep, then it is your responsibility to exhibit non-threatening behaviors

* Stalking -- Stalking is number one on the list. Stalking takes unrequited feelings to an excessive level and often ends with someone going to the hospital or jail. Ex-boyfriend stalking is not the only bad stalking. Even if you've never dated a girl, it is not okay to stalk her...This one is also illegal

Internet stalking is also creepy, especially if you're searching Instagram and Facebook for pictures to masturbate too. No wonder these girls call you a creep in real life. When you spend everynight obsessing and fantasizing about girls you have no relationship with, it ruins your ability to speak to them in person because they have not shared the same fantasies and emotions as you

* Staring -- An action that is often a key component of stalking, unwanted staring or prolonged eye contact can be considered creepy. When two people are interested in each other, eye contact is a good thing, but only if you are sure you like each other. If you are unsure whether a girl is interested in you or not, do not stare at her incessantly. Even if she is interested in you, staring at her for an hour from across the room without blinking or looking someplace else is creepy

* No means No -- I have actually had guys tell me "Sometimes no means yes" when I've told them no. So no, no always means no. Don't push it; if a girl rejects you, then drop it and leave her alone. If a girl has told you that she is not interested, then she is not interested. Oftentimes a girl will subtly tell you no using body language; if you are unsure how body language works, then you should read up on it because it's probably why you're coming off as a creep

Once you're in a relationship (or whatever it is people these days consider themselves to be in if they're just fooling around or afraid of commitment), you can still come off as a creep by not respecting her telling you to stop. If a girl is clear with you that she is not interested in you or something you want to do to her, and you push the issue, then you are a creep. This could refer to a girl whom you're on speaking terms with or hang in the same friend group or class with because she may be comfortable speaking to you as an acquaintance yet not want anything more than friendship. It is also creepy to push a romantic relationship onto a female friend who has told you multiple times she doesn't desire the same

* Crossing boundaries -- Similar to the one above, crossing boundaries of any kind is a huge problem. Something so much as leaning too close to a woman without giving her enough personal space (no less than 2 feet if she's a stranger) is creepy. Hugging a girl who isn't comfortable with hugging you (even in a friendly way above the shoulders) can still be creepy. If you are in a sketchy place (like a dark alley or empty parking lot at night), then give her 20-30 feet of space and never approach her car

Some girls will have more of a personal boundary than others and sometimes the situation will dictate their response. Approaching strangers in public is one of those things. Grocery stores are generally a non-risky place to meet someone, but going up to a girl at 4 AM in Walmart is not a good time. You should also gauge the situation before approaching a girl in a group with friends because they are often out to have fun, not meet people. If you are ever unsure, it is okay to approach, succinctly ask if she would potentially be interested in you, and then quickly leave if she declines. The key to any situation you're unsure of is leaving if she says no or tries to leave herself

* Social cues -- Probably the biggest issue with being creepy is not picking up on social cues or acting outside social expectations. This goes back to reading up on body language if you're unfamiliar with it. The most important social cue is when someone is not interested in you because many guys who are called creepy by women are also rejected as being creepy by other males who do not want to be their friends. So if you have a history of difficulty making friends with other kids your age, then you may need to study up on social cues to attract women as well. An example of missing social cues or expectations could be laughing when nobody else is or wearing pyjamas to school instead of proper clothing

Yes the clothing you wear is an enormous factor is dating because wearing clothing that is not socially appropriate can definitely come off as creepy. For example, one time when I was at a club, this really tall old guy in a Michael Jackson white leather jacket and weird 80's haircut was there. Every girl thought he was creepy because he just didn't fit in. When the song "Thriller" came on and he started dancing like a maniac, everyone jumped out of the way. He tried to grab a girl to dance with him but nobody wanted to. This guy missed a ton of social cues...which is why he probably didn't have a friend to bring either. (He also only had one or two teeth in his mouth which wasn't creepy, but was pretty gross)

* Leagues -- Now I get that a lot of people don't agree with leagues being a thing, and many people can score a date or even marry someone outside their league, but this can be the main reason a girl calls you a creep. Your league is a compilation of your looks, intelligence, personality, financial status and ambition, culture, social awareness, and any other qualities that could make you more or less attractive. If you're hitting on a girl in the next league up, that won't be a big problem, but hitting on a pretty girl who is dressed well when you haven't showered in a month and have blood leaking through your jeans is extremely unsettling. Many guys confuse this with girls being shallow and calling guys ugly, but that's not the case. Maybe there is a better word for this one than "league," but the basic concept would be the same. Whenever a guy who is twice or three times my age hits on me, I get pretty creeped out. If you have a fear of being called a creep, test your odds at hitting on girls within your league rather than ones two or more leagues above

Try not to be jealous of old rich guys who date hot young girls. Either they have a shallow, contractual relationship, or she has daddy issues. Just because a guy who is older or uglier than you can date a girl who is younger and hotter than a girl you think he should be dating, doesn't mean you could date the same caliber of woman. Personality is an enormous factor in dating as well as compatibility, so it doesn't matter what you look like. If you look like a troll but are otherwise a sweet, intelligent man who treats his woman well and can provide for her, you will do much better on the dating scene than an attractive man with a poor personality and no job. Since your league is a combination of all factors you, then try to go for a girl who is in a similar league with the combination of all factors her

* Bad humor -- Again, this ties in with everything else because someone who is adept at reading social cues and respects a woman's boundaries would understand not to bring up certain topics or jokes. Many guys make girls uncomfortable by suggestion, bad humor, and subject matter. Many jokes that other men would think are funny can really creep a woman out, such as joking about putting surveillance cameras in a girl's shower. Watching what you say when you're in female company can immensely help with being called creepy because just one off-beat comment early in your Freshman year can make your whole school label you a creep for 4 years

Cheesy pickup lines fit into this category. You have less than 5 seconds to make a first impression on someone, so don't waste it with something overly sexual or corny. The best way to approach a woman is to compliment her on something like her beautiful curly hair or say you think her platform boots are exciting. Simple subjects such as commenting on the weather or asking if someone knows where the molasses aisle is can be a non-threatening way to break the ice. Simply approaching a girl to talk is not creepy, so you can always start a conversation without making any implications of attraction just to gauge whether she is open to speaking with you or not

How not to be a creep

Once you understand the basics of being a creep, you can work at not being so creepy. Isn't that the point afterall? If you've been called a creep and don't want to improve, then you have nobody to blame but yourself. But once you're at the bottom, you can only go up from there

Why Women Call You Creepy

* Improve your looks -- For all of you who think you're being called a creep because you're ugly, that is a simple fix. I wrote a MyTake about that one a little while back, so you're more than welcome to start there. If looks is your main issue, then that is a simple and quick fix, and you'll have a girlfriend in no time flat

* Improve your personality -- Personality is probably your biggest factor here if you're looking to improve yourself. Griping and moaning is a bad attitude, so stop all of that complaining and focus on improving your life. If you're a young man with no direction in your life, you can start by studying Dr. Jordan Peterson's material (he has plenty of free videos on YouTube, but I've hear his book 12 Rules of Life is excellent). He may help you find purpose in life and change your belief system. That will, in turn, drastically change your personality and the things you decide to put effort into. Women are attracted to a man with personality and ambition in life, so that should be your first step

* Decide what you want -- Mapping out your life to a T isn't helpful because one wrong turn will make you feel like a failure, but deciding what you want in life is a crucial part of achieving it. If you want a stay-at-home wife, 2.5 kids, and a house with a white picket fence, then find a job that will financially support you and buy the house. Once you take the first step, all the rest will fall into place, and a woman fitting the description of what you want will appear in your life. Likewise, if you want a successful career-driven woman, then maybe try an online dating site. Not only is a man who knows what he wants more attractive, but he is also more likely to get it

* Talk to some girls -- One thing I've notice from guys on this site is they just don't know how to ask a girl out because they've never had a one-on-one conversation and never ask girls out. If you refuse to talk to women or practice it seldom, you will come off as a creep because you won't understand the social cues necessary in conversation with a female. So if that's something you struggle with, then try asking a sibling or cousin if you can hang out with them and their female friends or start with female cashiers and waitresses. You don't necessarily have to ask them out, but becoming familiar with female conversation will not harm you when it comes to being creepy

* Respect women -- If you respect women, then you will not be called a creep. If you make an effort to make women feel safe when they're around you, then you will not be a creep. Considering that respect is the most important thing in a long-term relationship, respect is a prerequisite to not being creepy. Once you get that part down, you won't have a problem with anything else
