I don't have the creep vibe.

Post Reply New Topic

Some male users here claim they may unintentionally give creep/weirdo vibes hence their dating troubles, it seems to be a common aspie problem.

But by observation of the way females interact with me in real life, I am pretty convinced that I don't have this issue:

- Female coworkers seem to be comfortable around me, like coming to my table for a chit chat or for asking some work related stuff or help; even if no one is around.
- Newcomer female coworkers always seem to befriend me first, a senior lady also noticed this and often jokingly commented on it, she always teased me about it.
- Female acquaintances often asked me to escort them in dark alleys, at night times, even if I don't know them so well.
- Facebook friend requests to female new acquaintance/buddies are rarely rejected, .....well at least that means I didn't give a creep first impression (but after that, they're just ghosts who fill my feed, they never initiate contact no matter how many times I did initiate contact with them).


So from these facts, I am pretty confident I don't have the creep vibe problem, so my dating problems seem to be more related to social awkwardness, or I have a missing fundamental ability (as Sabreclaw calls it, the missing x-factor) to be liked more than a mere acquaintance or friend, by women I meet in real life at least, so it's something that cannot be fixed, could it be?

You give off a more jock vibe to me if you had any vibe to be honest. But then again everyone interprets people differently. I'm suprised you car to be honest.

I don't think I do either, and in my younger days I was quite good-looking, so I got a lot of interest and first moves from women (thankfully, since I was incompetent at initiating anything myself!). After a few dates, though, they'd realize I was ... "different"..."weird"... and things would quickly end. The exception was women who had far more serious issues of their own, which sometimes made for real drama.

I'm lucky to be married for the past 10 years to a lovely woman who accepts me for who I am. Very lucky.

You don't have the creep vibe because you are short. Short people are less intimidating, which is part of the creep vibe.

I totally hear what you're saying and go through the same thing, and I'm pretty sure you're not a creep too.

I think of it by analogy with my own experience. I think how women see me is like how I (straight man) view a male friend. It's nice to have someone to talk to, and do things with, but I don't want to know all his life details. I really don't want him to hug me. And if he initiates flirting or "incidental" touching or whatever it is I'm supposed to do with women, suddenly it becomes really weird. (Source, I sang amateur opera for many years, and have hung out with many gay men.)

That kind of "whoah there cowboy" reaction when a male acquaintance starts acting flirty in a plausibly deniable way, that's what I imagine a woman feels when I try to turn a friendship into a possible romantic connection. It's not even creepy, and I have nothing against the guy, it's just that I have no interest and wish to either avoid or shut down this line of thinking immediately.

The key question, is it possible to learn the skills to charm women long enough to let them see the worthwhile and attractive qualities we do have? Similar to the skills an improv actor or comedian develops? There is a lot of material on this, but none of it is written for someone who is verbally inarticulate and can't make eye contact and still focus on a conversation.

In case you don't know what a "jock" is: a "jock" is a person who is good at sports.

In my late teens/early 20's, when I was desperate to "get a girl," I used to give off a "creep vibe." In fact, I was called a creep sometimes LOL

After that period in my life--after I stopped actively trying to "get girls," the "creep vibe" disappeared, never to come back.

Chronos is no creep. She's quite intelligent.

In the US, a jock is a guy who is into sports, and tends to dress in athletic clothes.

Interesting extension of the definition of the word "jock."
