[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being unattractive

Being socially awkward

Being shy / introverted

It goes beyond this. It has to do with giving unwanted attention to a person. Being unattractive is, of course, going to increase the number of people who don't want your attention. And, being socially awkward will perhaps limit your ability to tell when attention is unwanted. So, being perceived as creepy will sometimes be unfair in the way that life is generally unfair. And acting creepy will sometimes be inadvertent because you lack social acuity and/or the person who doesn't want to receive your attention is communicating that fact too subtly. But, if you're actually concerned about being considerate of people's feelings and can limit your bitterness over the fact that Chad Thundercock's life is easier than yours, it's pretty damn simple to avoid being creepy.

Yes. At the core, "creepy" is about not pulling back when your attention is unwanted. It's about forcing the point when the point isn't welcome.

Maybe you don't read social cues well. Maybe you deliberately ignore them because you don't feel other people have a right to not want your attention. Maybe both. But physically attractive and wealthy men can be creepy, too. I think Christian Bale could be creepy af. (Not that he would force attention on me, but if he did -- skin crawl. I heard the audios.)[/quote]
