Men Are Creepy, New Study Confirms

Article here. Excerpt:

'While researchers also asked about physical characteristics such as long fingers, greasy hair, "peculiar smiles," being too thin, and dressing weird, McAndrew says that physical characteristics alone do not a creep make. "If people have very unusual physical characteristics, that kind of magnifies any creepy vibes they're sending out," he says, "but there isn't any particular physical characteristic that we look at and say, 'Aha! A creep!'"

In recent years many-a thinkpiece has been written about "the politics of creep-shaming" after men's rights activists took issue with what they deemed a misandrist term. As McAndrew's study shows, however, there is some truth to the idea that all creeps are dudes. While there is no creep checklist, no set of behaviors that definitively marks one as "creepy" or "cool," over 95 percent of respondents said creepy people were more likely to be men than women. Women were also more likely to associate creepiness and sexual threat. While the study didn't differentiate between what men found creepy and what women found creepy, "women were more likely to think that the person had some sort of sexual interest in them," McAndrew says.'
