As far as I can tell (being a guy), “creepy” is purely subjective and is basically like any other insult.

If Brad Pitt were staring at a girl from across the room the girl would get excited and hope he was interested. If a homeless guy/nerd/ugly guy/<insert guy=“” with=“” a=“” trait=“” the=“” girl=“” finds=“” unattractive=“”> is staring at her from across the room, then he’s creepy.</insert>

Don’t get me wrong, guys have terms like this too. It’s easy to throw around the words slut/whore/etc. for a girl that isn’t actually promiscuous yet never mention such terms when you happen to be the recipient of this sluttiness/whorishness yourself from a girl that genuinely is a bit…easy. It’s all subjective. It’s important to note, though, that being called a whore is probably closer to a guy being called an "**" than it is to a guy being called creepy. If you’re called a whore (or an ) you can probably rebound pretty well with indignation or, if you so please, by embracing the role. But what are you supposed to do if you’re called creepy? There’s nothing you CAN do. No matter what you do there’s nothing that will get you out of the creepy title to those that have already labeled you with it.
