What Makes a Man Come Off as Creepy?

What? Yes. Absolutely. Are you out of your mind? Oh my God.

It's hard to talk about this without creating the impression that I'm downplaying what women go through or whatever, but I've had women encourage me to drink while transparently trying to get in my pants. I've had strange women kiss me without warning in bars. Back when I lived with roommates who would continue having parties after I went to bed, I once woke up to a drunk woman fondling me in my sleep (I locked my door after that). It's gross, it sucks, it's not remotely uncommon.

Women have it worse, of course, and we can go into why, if you like, to prove how woke we both are. But if you don't think creepy women exist then you are living an incredibly sheltered, lonely life.
