hotpotato Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Title says it all. Can women be creepy/stalkerish? As a women have you ever been scared of coming across as creepy? I know ive done or usually not done some things in fear of looking creepy.
stillafool Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 I think anybody can be creepy. Constantly showing up where one is, everytime you glance their way they're starring at you, driving past your house, calling and hangin up. Women too are guilty of these creepy things. 3
Maggie4 Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Yes, but most women save their creepiest material for other women. 3
preraph Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Women can certainly be creepy, and just like the stalker types in men, the chances of someone becoming violent if they are that type also applies to women. I have known a man or two who had this type problem (very good looking men) and certainly every famous man has women of this type. They are not as likely to be afraid of them -- but they probably should be if it goes very far.
Gloria25 Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Yes, but most women save their creepiest material for other women. True ^^ Gosh, I had one woman that sorta creeped me out cuz she was doing some of this weird stuff. I mean, she'd compliment me - but it felt creepy when she did it and it was like she was starting to imitate me. I mean, I've picked up stuff from women that I admired over the years and applied those things to make me a better person - but it's not like I wanted to wear their skin
mrldii Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 I believe women who are the female equivalent of "creepy stalkers" are referred to as "bunny boilers". 5
xxoo Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 I believe women who are the female equivalent of "creepy stalkers" are referred to as "bunny boilers". Another version may be the "stage 5 clinger" It may depend on how threatened the man feels. 4
Gloria25 Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Another version may be the "stage 5 clinger" It may depend on how threatened the man feels. Interesting.... I didn't know of/what is a "stage 5 clinger".
mrldii Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Interesting.... I didn't know of/what is a "stage 5 clinger". Urban Dictionary: stage five clinger "A member of the opposite sex that is likely to become overly attached, overly fast. Virgins, those on the rebound, and the emotionally fragile are more likely to have this term applied to them. Originally from the movie 'Wedding Crashers'." 2
Gloria25 Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Urban Dictionary: stage five clinger "A member of the opposite sex that is likely to become overly attached, overly fast. Virgins, those on the rebound, and the emotionally fragile are more likely to have this term applied to them. Originally from the movie 'Wedding Crashers'." I guess I could classify myself as a "stage one clinger" in the past?
lino Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Creepy is all a matter of perception. Men do not generally view women as creepy, which is why you rarely hear about it. That doesn't mean a particular woman can't be up to some creepy stuff, though. On the other hand, if a guy hits on a woman who does not find him attractive, he is immediately labelled creepy. This is it basically. I've never heard anyone refer to a female as a creep or creepy. I've known some guys who were being stalked by women though. I've never been stalked.
Maggie4 Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 True ^^ Gosh, I had one woman that sorta creeped me out cuz she was doing some of this weird stuff.

One woman I know not only imitates what I like to eat, wear, etc. but it's worse. When she recalls events, sometimes in her version she replaces me with herself. Like something that happened to me, or something I did or said, she'd tell the story as having happened to her or she said/did those things. And she'd tell it to me. I think that qualifies as creepy. 1
newmoon Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 i think women are creepy towards other women more than to men. men they stalk and other women they can get downright creepy about - following you, copying you, etc. i find other women creepy sometimes but i've never heard a man refer to a woman that way 1
Krieger Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Go watch fatal attraction and get back to me. 3
Grumpybutfun Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) Yes, I have been stalked though I am an amateur MMA fighter and over 220 lbs and 6'3. I've had some weird encounters and my wife has had to deal with some weird women doing some questionable stuff to me over the years...see past threads of mine about someone sniffing my boxer shorts on the bathroom floor of our master bath at one of our lakeside parties. Creepy as flip and that isn't even the worst of it. One gender never has a monopoly on bad behavior, G Edited September 26, 2015 by Grumpybutfun 1
impatiently_patient Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 9/10 when a guy is deemed "creepy" he is just unattractive to the respective mouthpiece woman... which is to say LOTS of women are "creepy" by the same definition... plenty more when not hiding behind makeup. That 10th guy or woman though: Yeah, they're Criminal Minds creepy. Thanks for blurring the **** out of the definition of a word America. 2
Popsicle Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 The last time I stalked a guy, he absolutely loved it and wanted me to continue. When I stopped, he got mad. 4
Tiger Lily Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 I think people (mainly men) more often label women "crazy" when they do creepy-ish things. 3
GooseChaser Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 I believe creepiness about showing a sexual interest when it's not welcome? It seems to me that this could surely be applicable to women as well as men. Maybe men are less likely to find it unwelcome? Haha 3
lollipopspot Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 On the other hand, if a guy hits on a woman who does not find him attractive, he is immediately labelled creepy. I think repeating that "men's rights" nonsense doesn't do men any favors. There are behaviors that have nothing whatsoever to do with simply hitting on a woman that are creepy, and just hitting on a woman is not creepy unless you are doing some of those behaviors and are unaware of time, place, etc. So the creepy guys of the world say, "Oh she just didn't find me attractive," and never delve into why they are being called creepy and how they might get more self awareness and change those behaviors. Objectively attractive men can also be creepy. The bitter statement about attractiveness is not helpful to those guys, but it sure is common!
casey.lives Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 im positive my ex boyfriends family thinks im creepy.
Els Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 I've encountered both creepy men and creepy women, but I always found the men more worrisome due to the physical strength element involved. If a woman tries to jump me, chances are I would stand a better chance than if a man did. 1
todreaminblue Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) I have been called creepy once in my life.....and its not something i thought i would ever be called.....nor did i think it was fair he called me that when i was attempting friendship......i did however at an earlier time tell him i liked him and wanted to get to know him as more than a friend..........so considering i am a fair amount older than him....i took his criticism of me seriously...and revalued how i felt about him.....saw it from his side and understood why he said what he said......and now....i am glad he said what he said......because it helped me to see what kind of relationship i dont want and with whom...... he was rather childish in his responses to me and interactions with me........and it took me a while to see it.....but i do see it now.......deb Edited September 26, 2015 by todreaminblue 2
