Women Are Sharing Examples Of Men Being Creepy, Here Are The 50 Worst Examples

So how many other dudes here are just skimming the whole thread to make sure you're not a creeper?

If I’m doing the bare minimum to occasionally reply to your constant “how’s your day?” “How’s work going?” “Have a good weekend” texts, maybe stop sending them all the damn time.

And before you accuse me of wanting men to be mind readers, this is always *after* very direct conversations about the fact that I’m not interested in a romantic relationship, etc. these texts come off as very, “hey I still exist if you change your mind!”

Along those same lines, if you’ve invited someone to do a thing a few times and its always been politely declined, stop asking. You’re annoying. If she is truly interested but just *actually* busy, she will initiate it when she has more time and she will show enthusiasm. Let her bring it up.

I really don't like it when men stare at me at the gym, especially in the weight room, like obviously at my chest or my behind, even though I am just wearing shorts and a T-shirt. I am trying to work out, I want to feel safe and confident about my body. It makes me feel like I don't belong there, or that I am just a spectacle. It ruins my frame of mind for working out; instead of focusing on achieving my goals, I feel anxious, self-conscious and even sometimes threatened. This happens every time I go to the weight room, there is at least one guy that does it. And I am not being overly sensitive, it is so blatant, like unwavering, unblinking stare, or people moving their work-out space or bench so they are across from me while I do the exercises. I almost feel like a women-only weight room is the only answer, but it shouldn't have to be that way...just be polite and focus on yourself, your scaring me!

Some guys really try to pressure you to drink a lot and its the creepiest thing bc its so transparent.

Take the opportunity to feel up my hip curve during a hug or a photo. I always do it back to them while looking them dead in the eye with my library lady stare and it always seems to creep them out right back.

Also sneak quick nose picks and think nobody notices. Barfolomew.

Somes guys will try to subtly refer to their sexual prowess. I've had guys ask if I think pants are too fight and is the outline of their "8 inch d**k" is noticable.

Saying, "But women do it too!" Doesn't make anything any less terrible, and whatever creepy thing I was complaining about just makes me wary that now this guy is justifying it or trying to turn the argument on women.

I don't know if most guys actually do this, but altering your behavior when an attractive woman enters the vicinity. My friend works right across from a popular park, and whenever I go to pick her up and wait for her, I'll watch the people hanging around out there. Some guys just shut up and stop functioning, others start like lifting their backpacks and s**t (what???) It's like they can't just continue what they were doing.

*Staring*.

I work in a warehouse that is like 95% male and had this coworker "John" who was easily in his 50's, overweight, and wheezed just standing but that didn't phase me. I like to think I get along with *everyone* and I can take a hell of a lot. Until one day one of my other male coworkers pointed out that John stared at me every second that I was in his line of sight. I'd never noticed before, but I began to take note a lot more. He really did stare at me a lot. Even when I turned to catch him at it. Never spoke to me unless he had to, he just stared. And it creeped me out far more than any off-colour or distasteful "jokes" I could get. At least with those kind of things, I could lash back, turn it around and make them the butt of that joke. But how do you quantify getting upset over *staring*?! Thankfully, my coworkers had my back and they went to our awesome manager who had a chat with me and then made sure John was always doing something else on the other end of the warehouse until the day he was let go.

Being forced to hug them. There used to be a particularly awful photograph of me as a teenager being forcibly hugged by a guy who was obsessed with me throughout high school - him facing the camera looking smug because he was in a photo with me and me blurry and in the process of trying to escape.

Bear in mind, I am and always have been a tiny 5ft nothing girl and he was a giant guy who overcompensated with martial arts. He managed to keep me there with one arm.
