How did you overcome the 'Creep Factor'?

Post Reply New Topic

I find that a lack of taste in fashion seem to make you appear more creepy then you would hope! D:

Overall though, how can someone look creepy by being themselves?

If someone finds me "creepy" f**k them. I'm not succumbing to the pressure of changing myself to impress other people. If you don't like who I am, I don't want you around me.

Although I do agree to an extent. Would he be happy if he became less Socially accepted?

Some people will likely always be creeped out by me. I've never really cared much, though.

I dont know, I find creepy people fun and interesting
they alway have the most interesting life stories

But If fashion can make you seem creepy, then thats probably why people see me as creepy

i don't dress to impress, I dress to be comfortable
yep im that guy who wears nothing but solid color cotton t-shirts and loose fitting jeans

Aside from get older? Not really sure. I had a stint between 24 and 25 where I did this up top (and yes, for the record this is me in 2004):


To follow up on how well the shaved head and beard worked - it helped a little but I think for the mountain of residual neuropathic issues I had like PTSD, social anxiety, etc. I still wasn't able to make full use of it. Doing something like that can maybe give you a....20% boost? Then again I don't know how it work for other people necessarily. I know my dad complained nonstop that I was making myself look old, hard, etc. that I was doing a terrible thing to my looks, that when some of the neighbor girls saw me at the restaurant and their mom pointed me out they commented "That man couldn't possibly be him" (I took that as a big positive, my dad took it as a big negative). I can't say either in all honesty whether I was getting more or less positive/negative attention from women. It seemed like it stayed the same, that the negative was still the negative and positive was still just as off-point and brittle as it was previously. At least on the bright side I liked how I looked so that counted for something .

I don't much like the rings in your ears but you certainly weren't an unattractive fella, not by any means. I would be surprised if you didn't get at least some attention from gay fellas.

I might have but from I think 20 on I don't think any of them were confused on my orientation either. I don't think I would have turned down or gotten up and arms about a compliment from a gay guy but then again I never really found out.

Well I have a fairly thick head of hair like the rest of my family. I'm due for a haircut real soon anyway so I'll pitch the idea to my mom. She's said in the past that shaving it would be a bad idea but maybe this'll change her mind. I've been thinking about shaving it though to look like a lot of the MMA fighters I watch on tv
