I only get approached by creepy guys?

[Anonymous]

I am, objectively speaking, an attractive young woman. However, I am incredibly shy. I am doing my best to work past that, but in the mean time, I am only approached by creepy guys. Now, I'm not exaggerating when I say that they are creepy. One of them was in his mid fifties and later attempted to friend me on Facebook after one very uncomfortable conversation in which he asked me out and I responded with, "Um... no." (yes, I made the mistake of giving him my full name, I have since learned that it was a horrible idea), another was a guy in one of my classes who met up got me to form a study group with him. I was under the pretense that there would be other people in the group, but apparently I was wrong. The whole time he was either showing me videos of him in his cosplay outfits or having me read segments of his novel that he started when he was 8... He's probably getting close to 23. He asked me out at the end of the class as well. Those are just some of the gentlemen who approach me. Why am I such a creep magnet? Yes, I know the obvious solution is to approach some guy on my own, but I'm super shy and am still building up the confidence to approach a guy on my own.

Reading a little of social psychology might help you with your shyness, it helped me at least.
There a lot of types of people, maybe those you found creepy another person would have interested in. Still why they approach you is maybe cause being shy you don't reflect an invisible wall around you, so they feel comfortable enough to approach you, a lot of people project that invisible wall of confidence making another people doubt themselves, that is why they just avoid them and maybe that is why they don't avoid you.
In resume, i think, that you should focus on strengthen yourself to be a little more direct when you don't want something, like saying right away that you are not interested if someone invite you to something you don't want to do.

That sounds like your problem right there. Your self image. Those 'ceepy people' sense that you are shy and think that they might have a chance. The only possible solution would be to change who you hang out with, (that will probably detour them) or become un shy and put them in their place if they get out of line..

You have to understand that the large majority of people suck. Do the math...

Have you tried brushing your teeth with shit paste? That should do the trick.
