So I’m saying this based on stories from what women say online and on Reddit and I’m just trying to understand this.

I’ve been called creepy for very mundane things. The ones I can think off of the top of my head are eating lunch alone, wearing a hood during class, not smiling constantly, not being hyper talkative, not doing anything, and many more that I can’t think of.

I’ve also seen countless stories online where women say that a guy was being creepy and it turns out he just bought her a drink, tried to speak to her at a bar, or looked at her funny.

I feel as if I’ve been deemed creepy just for existing. I’m not necessarily a pretty guy. I’ve been called ugly by many people. I’ve seen this memed a lot but I’ve been trying to understand if this is true. Do women just use creepy to mean, “he’s ugly and I don’t like this guy”?
