what does the term "creepy" mean?

t’s a very esoteric word known intuitively among females and only vaguely by males that is used in the same way that “■■■■■■” used to be used amongst males (when it was relatively PC). It’s a meaningless word but it is in fact the kiss of death. You can’t stop being creepy, you can’t “become” creepy, it’s just a meaningless attribute that no female can really define either.

haha it’s not a meaningless attribute and it’s not used the same way “■■■■■■” is. Younger women get hit on a lot by guys. Some of those guys are “creepy” meaning they come across as weird and we don’t trust them. Sometimes it’s obvious they’re really desperate to hook up, other times they ask weird personal questions or seem like stalkers, or just exhibit strange behavior that makes you feel uncomfortable or scared. Sometimes these people have no social skills and don’t get they come across as creepy, other times they really are weirdos. It’s not always sexual, but it often is.

I think the reason a lot of guys don’t get why girls think certain people are creepy is because it’s intuitive (women’s intution or whatever). Sexual predators are usually men preying on women, not the other way around. So when a girl gets a “creepy” vibe it’s usually a signal to stay away from the creeper.

and yeah, some girls overuse it and think everyone’s creepy or hitting on them.
