How to tell if a guy is actually a creep, according to science

It was pretty much tongue in cheek which is why there's a little laughy thing at the end of the line.

Oh right hahah missed that.
 
How to tell if a guy is actually a creep, according to science | Fox News

So let's ignore the fact that the "study" is actually an online survey and online surveys are notoriously NOT scientific. Let's also ignore that the headline also singles out men as being creepy (though the article does note that women can also be creepy).

How accurate is the assessment?

I'd totally agree that not looking someone in the eye when you're talking to them is creepy but I'm not so sure about the other factors they mention. Those, to my thinking, are a bit more contextual.

I wonder if that means that creepy is a code word for autistic.

It doesn't, but being autistic and being creepy aren't mutually exclusive
 
In my county a realtor was recently discovered to have a girl (missing person) locked up in a storage container and multiple bodies were found on his property. He admitted to killing five people (although there were more bodies than that found), all because he was angry with them. He said that he wasn't mad at the girl, but he didn't know what else to do with her since she witnessed one of the murders, so he chained her up and locked her in a storage container that "happened" to be on his property.

After this came out, numerous people said that he was "creepy". I wonder if they would have called him creepy before it came out that he was a serial killer/kidnapper.

By the way, the reason he killed four of the people was because they mocked him for buying a motorcycle without knowing how to drive one, and he killed the girl's boyfriend "because he had a smart mouth".
 
A quote: "There is no man that cannot sink so low that woman or dog cannot love him". How sad and how true.
