We don’t always know exactly how we come off to others. You might consider yourself to be super friendly, while a stranger on the bus might say you look intimidating while listening to music and wearing sunglasses. At the same time, behavior that you might consider perfectly normal may actually be making those around you extremely uncomfortable.

One curious Reddit user recently asked others to share some common things men do that come off as creepy, and women and men had plenty to say in the replies. Below, you’ll find some of the most popular responses, so enjoy reading through and be sure to upvote the behaviors you wish men would stop exhibiting as well.

    Had a friend I grew up with claim every woman that turned him down was a lesbian. "Yeah, the last ten women you've talked to are lesbians."

    Worst gaydar ever. On the other hand, if he had first asked their sexual orientation, then been turned down by the straight ones, he would have been forced to admit that he was turning them into lesbians. To quote feminist Gloria Steinem: “Are you my alternative?”

    I've never understood this. There's no need for it. I've been rejected a few times........it stings but you get over it. I actually asked a friend of mine from uni out once... I soon learned that she 'didn't see me that way'. It hurt, but fine. A few months later (when it didn't hurt so much) she texted me actually apologising for turning me down and to say that she was also sorry that she'd met someone. I was confused by this, and said 'all I've ever wanted was for you to be happy and if he makes you happy then that's great'. They've now been married 6 years and have two kids that I am "uncles" to. I even attended the wedding happily. She brought him to meet me once and as soon as I saw him, I knew those two were meant to be and we've been friendly ever since.

    Depends if she rejects you with a put down? "I would never go out with a guy that's so short." "That's okay, because I can see now that your breasts aren't big enough for me." If she just says, "Thank you, but I have a boyfriend" then you just move on.

Shes smiling because she has to, she's talking to you because she has to. Yea, maybe she's into you, but the fact there's no way to really know since she's basically forced to interact with you, it comes off creepy.

    50 Things That Men Do That They Think Are Fine When In Reality They're Super Creepy When I was 19 I was a phone girl at a local pizza place. I would answer the phone and take people’s orders for carry out or delivery. One time this guy called and said he was placing an order for delivery. By the end of the order he changed his mind and said he wanted to order carry out. The dude shows up and my coworker helps him and he says “you’re not the girl I talked to on the phone. I want to talk to that girl.” I realize he’s talking about me and I ask what’s wrong. He then tells me he thinks I have a really soothing voice and should do ASMR. I was like ok that’s weird but relatively harmless? The guy gets his food then leaves. We can see him sitting in his car for like 15 minutes. Then he came back in the store with a map and started asking me a bunch of weird questions for directions to somewhere. I said “why can’t you just use google maps? I see you have an iPhone” and point to his phone. Then as I point I see him try to hide the screen. He had the audio recorder pulled up! This weirdo came back in the store with a thinly veiled excuse of asking for directions because he was trying to record my voice!!! It was so creepy. I told him “wait one second” and went to the back and told some coworkers what was going on. A friend of mine who worked in the kitchen, a 6’2 muscle head walked out and was like “IM GREAT WITH DIRECTIONS. MY GIRLFRIEND IS TERRIBLE AT THEM (while gesturing to me). LET ME HELP YOU!” Suddenly the guy didn’t need directions anymore. So yeah. I’m going to say whatever that was, that was creepy.

    Under risk of being downvoted to oblivion. This is still a reaction that until very recently the way for a woman to behave was to play hard to get (google it and some sites still has this as a relationship "tactic"). Men both have to learn to respect a "no" and that girls that play hard are not worth the effort of us braking our heads to figure out if is a real disinterest or a messed up behavior.

    50 Things That Men Do That They Think Are Fine When In Reality They're Super Creepy Heres a list of creepy s**t men have done in the last year to me: Following me around the neighborhood. This has happened several times. Sometimes they will stop and talk to me which leads to the next two points. Cornering me at my car to “talk” and not letting me leave Demanding sex from me Inappropriate comments in general Staring for too long Touching in any capacity l unless we are close is bonafide creep behavior. Showing up at my work to “talk” Men just be out here creeping on women. Its not “all men” but men tend to excuse it when their friend, brother, cousin, etc out there creeping on women

    Men need to be stopped. Women are people and this is not an okay way to treat people.

    50 Things That Men Do That They Think Are Fine When In Reality They're Super Creepy As my wife doesn't WFH, she has to be out in the world a lot more. I'll paraphrase what she said recently: "What the hell's with male Uber drivers and the 'You goin' to your boyfriend's house???' It's such an obvious way to open up whether I might be DTF." Same goes with when she opens the door for DoorDash. She says there's always fishy types of small talk that weird her out, usually around her schedule and whether they've seen her at [insert shop here]. She doesn't like when some strange dude wants to time/place her. Questions like, "Hey, how's your day?" are all well and good. Friendly. But the personal stuff's gotta go. As such, I've stopped shushing the dog when she barks at Dashers. I want them to know there's a dog that only needs the word go right behind this pretty little lady who tipped you well, sir.

    Interestingly, this doesn't happen across social/demographic boundaries. In my country (SA) a food delivery guy or an uber guy would never dare hit on an upperclass (rich) woman. Because he'd get arrested and charged in seconds. However, unfortunately, if the woman is lower-income (meaning usually black) he will get away with it. In fact we've had MANY cases of black women being kidnapped and raped by uber drivers. Disgusting, but a result of apartheid and our unacceptable levels of patriarchy and GBV.

    50 Things That Men Do That They Think Are Fine When In Reality They're Super Creepy As a guy, here's a few I noticed about other guys: - Men hitting on much younger women - men who bother women at the gym - guys who try to give women unwanted massages (mostly shoulder rubs while they are sitting)

    unwanted massages are the grossest. I only did this when I was asked to, and when she announced sexual interest I walked away.

    I have a coworker. I had never met him (officially) before we started working at the same place 2 years ago. He gave me a weird Vibe from the get-go, but I just avoided him as much as I could, which was easy cause we dont have the same job at our facility. After a while he starts talking about 2 brothers that I do know, and how he was friends with 1 of them - pkay fine, a little creepy you *know* I knew them too. Then he asks when I moved from X adress where I lived with my ex? - I shut that Down, and Straight out said that was a creepy comment that made me uncormftable. I now avoid him even more at work, but a few months pass and he starts asking how Long I lived at Y adress, and that it was then I was hanging out with ‘specific group of people’. I told him how tf he knew about 2 past adresses and whom my friends were, Since I NEVER met him before?! Oh, he and that 1 brother sometimes talk about me. I have not spoken to either of those 2 brothers for 5 years. That s**t is creepy as hell

    Tell you their life story. I had one guy in a liquor store recently that decided to tell me what each of his tattoos meant. When he got to his kids he told me their life stories. I finally saw my excuse to get away and he grabbed my hand and kissed it. I saw him recently and I said hello but just walked in. I heard him calling me a b***h. I try so hard to be nice, but kissing my hand I can’t take.

    Being hit on in the gym, this has happened to me so multiple times and even though I understand some people are just trying to 'shoot their shot', the gym should be a safe space. I come there to workout, sweat it out and go home, not to find the love of my life. I don't want to be hit on and then have the awkwardness of turning someone down to then feel like they're constantly watching me in between my sets and I can't avoid them especially as my gym is not the biggest. So it's a big no to this from me.

    Being aggressive physically or getting aroused or staring too long at family members or underaged youth. All things have witnessed and don’t know how to respond to these creeps.

    Spending casual time with them and then them immediately thinking you're flirting with them. Not accepting "no" for an answer and then proceeding to stalk afterwards not knowing what they did wrong. Happened several times, stays creepy and makes me very uncomfortable

    Advice I heard a while ago and think is both hilarious and effective: if someone won’t leave you alone, look them in the eyes, and, as deadpan and serious as you can, say something extremely horrible and specific, ex. “I will flay every inch of skin off of your body and leave you to run around in circles until you die of massive blood loss and shock,” “I will turn your skin inside out, rub you with strychnine and powdered glass, and hang you from a mancheneel tree,” “I will break every single one of your bones and then rearrange them in alphabetical order,” “I will slowly castrate you over the course of several weeks with rusty razor wire.”

    Dude here, I've always hated how men who you're unfamiliar with/have 0 connection to outside of being an acquaintance like a coworker just feel comfortable *touching* you. It takes alot to get under my skin, but when my coworker comes and does that weird, shoulder grip massage thing. Another saw me sitting, absent mindedly swinging my free arm and snuck up behind me and ran his finger down my palm, thought he was being funny. Like, who the f**k does that...

    There's a certain type of men who do this and they are capable and guilty of everything else on this list. I dated a guy who admitted to me he followed me home a few times before he asked me out. This was when I was 13 and it was my first bf. I dumped him within a month of dating.

    Try to give a stranger any type of beverage at the club. (Happened to me this weekend.) Nah guy, just cause we chatted in the bathroom line doesn’t mean I’m gonna accept the weird cup of “water” you got me unsolicited. ETA: a beverage that they don’t see you get, and that you could have don’t anything to.
