(7,947 posts)Since any man can be a potential rapists(as has been pointed out many times), then yeah, men have to prove they're not rapists. That's sort of a job, although not in a literal sense. Unless you're one of the lucky men, women most likely aren't going to approach men, for dates, or numbers, or basically anything that isn't work related.
What about lesbians? I don't know, are they as afraid to approach women as they would be a man if they weren't lesbians?
What about gay men? Again, I don't know, are they afraid to approach other gay men?
You know what makes people(or straight men specifically) creepy? A lack of practice. A lack of practice interacting with people that you find attractive. Why? Well, you're probably not a great looking guy, which is always the first impression, good or bad. Especially when you're younger, and first begin to develop those social skills. If you do get the practice in developing those skills, then it helps as you get older. If you don't, then you're probably going to be weird, and awkward, and creepy. Even if you don't ogle, or stare, or whatever. You're just going to develop that essence. Then you end up wanting to develop those social skills, don't know how, and that makes you even more creepy, because then you're trying to force interaction with someone you find attractive, which ends up being weird. Then you give up, and you're just that creepy guy that nobody talks to and you're never seen with anyone, which just makes you more creepy.
