Any time someone deviates from normal behavior it triggers further inspection and as the media often reveals, the more you investigate the more you will discover. It basically comes down to the perception that you project. Certain people give off that creepy, stalkerish, weird vibe that others sense the instant you come in close proximity of them. Being mysterious may be intriguing and may in fact initiate some attraction. Venturing beyond mysterious borders on creepy. When you make someone cringe you are entering the CREEP ZONE. Lets take a look at some stuff that trigger that eerie vibe that freaks most people out:
1) PROLONGED STARRING-holding a glance just a wee bit too long. No matter where she is at, the moment she turns he is constantly looking at her. Anything beyond 8-10 seconds without blinking is like that old Rockwell tune “somebody’s watching me”.
2) WEIRD LOOKS-a slight smirk on his face, licking of the lips, sly grin, starring, stroking his chin, gazing from afar…….hello Charles Manson.
3) BODY HAIR-beards & mustaches, hair on back, uni-brow, comb-overs, nose/eAR hair that sticks out too far, anything resembling a werewolf.
4) ODD BEHAVIOR-talking to yourself, laughing by yourself, rocking back and forth constantly, pacing, jumping up and down on a couch professing your in love, sleeping in a coffin, constantly cracking knuckles, necrophlia, pedophile, etc
5) ANTI-SOCIAL-virtually no conversation, silent, non-friendly, sneaky, shy, quiet, , private, withdrawn, just sits/stands there and looks at you……….Jason Lives part 6
6) ANONYMIITY-being a secret admirer, not revealing your name or identifying yourself, all border on creepy.
7) VAGUE-being non-specific, too generic, evasive all arouse suspicion. “Hey what are you doing…………nothing, why do you ask”.
8) LONER-going to movies, club, party, concert alone, sitting alone, all their pictures are of themselves....ALONE,lives alone with 3 or more cats. Always alone=strange indeed.
9) WRITES SUPER LONG LOVE LETTERS-his correspondence (emails, letters, voicemail, conversations, texts) go into intricate details. Do this stuff early on and you basically inviting over creepy for dinner.
10) FALLS IN LOVE INSTANTLY-you just met this girl and already talking about how this girl you just met is the one, a keeper, the future. Says I really miss you, very emotional, obsessed, Have no fear, Super Wuss to the rescue!!
11) FOLLOWS YOU-they just happen to show up at the exact same time you go shopping, workout, café house, they just hover and never approach. Unless of course you a private eye.
12) GIFTS-sends flowers/gifts for no apparent reason on more than one occasion on date 1 or 2.
13) BRAGS-these guys often have pictures of women for validation, they boast about the numerous women they slept with, their ex’s, etc
14) TOUCHY FEELY-they tend to touch too quickly, hold your hand a bit too long, hugs too long, uninvited touching, etc. Sorta similar to inviting Michael Jackson to a sleep over.
15) TOO OLD-when the age range is 10 years or more, this too can trigger the creepy feeling. Old man hitting on younger girl screams creepy, almost 40 and attending a Jonas Brothers or Miley concert alone, old guy on dance floor, trying to look hip, sporting a ball cap backwards in your 40-50’s not attractive.
16) APPROACHES FROM BEHIND-this is more sub-conscious. Anytime you sneak up on someone, just suddenly appear, approach from behind this auto-triggers an inert defense mechanism.
17) CONVERSATION-, creepy voice, asks you to speak real slow, wants to hear about your sexcapades, gets excited when you mention taboo topics, asks for nude pictures, desires phone sex, etc Hello Sydney, remember me………..from the movie Scream.
18) AVATAR-wigs/toupee`, poor hygiene`, comb-overs, bad hair dye, nail polish, upside down cross necklace, Thick gold chains while shirt unbutton down to your navel revealing your hairy chest, cross dressing, etc. Basically any villan in any movie/tv show.
19) TOO MUCH BLACK-black nail polish, eyeliner, tinted windows, dyed black hair, all clothes black. In the old days the good guys wore white hats the bad guys wore black, villans often sport black.
20) STALKER-LIKE-calling often, blocking number, not leaving a message, driving by house/work, asking her friends questions about her, surprise visits, gifts for kids, wants to restrain you sexually, owns handcuffs, masks, hoods, whips, chains, etc Hello Ted Bunday.
21) TOO ABRUPRT-asks you to come over to his place or yours, ventures out late at night, wants to meet in a secluded area, wants affection right away, gets hostile if he does not get his way, very sexual from the start.
22) PROFILES WITH NO PICTURE-getting a email that reads “hey Carol, how goes the book” and having no picture on your profile may seem mysterious but it also hints at EL creepo big time.
23) NAKED PICS-if you have naked pictures of yourself or body parts, most people will find this a little bit creepy.
24) FANATIC-being middle aged and still attending Star Trek/Wars conventions in full costume just looks plain creepy.
25) TRYING TOO HARD-constantly seeking validation, acceptance, approval from others. They bring flowers on the very first date, make the perfect romance CD, they alter their appearance to gain acceptance, they are always super nice, they just seem superficial and fake. Everything is forced nothing seems natural or smooth. Desperate desire to fit in.
26) OBSESSION-not accepting that it’s over, still calling after she broke up with you, sending emails, texts/IM’s, forgive me letters/flowers, getting a restraining order, personal protection order
27) PEOPLE NAMED MICHAEL-some of the biggest creeps have been named Mike; Michael Jackson, Michael Meyers, Mike Tyson, Mickey Roark, Mike Brady.
28) CLOWNS-a lot of people find clowns creepy, the Joker in Batman, the clown doll in Poltergeist, Bozo the clowns Daughter is deathly afraid of clowns. Guys that wear makeup make a note.
29) FALLEN STARS-They seemed cute and funny back in the day but today there are more creepy; Gary Coleman, Danny Bonaducci, McCally Caulkin, Judy Garland, Paula Abdul, Pee Wee Herman, Kramer.
30) STILL LIVING AT HOME-if you are 30-40 and still live with your parents it’s a little creepy. If you constantly hang out with your mommy most weekends it’s official you entered the Creep Zone.
