Unwelcome attention is unwelcome attention. The only charitable exceptions might be children and adults with developmental disabilities, who allowably don’t know any better.

  You mean, what about the tall, handsome, well-dressed creepy men? The dichotomy is not conventionally attractive/creepy, it's understands boundaries/creepy.

    If all men are creepy, then why bother with the adjective?

      You're still hung up on this idea that violating boundaries and being a man are synonymous, and that what makes it creepy is how attractive you are. Whether someone is attractive or not, they're perfectly capable of not bothering someone who doesn't want to be bothered. You're basically saying "if an unattractive man who doesn't respect boundaries is creepy, but also an attractive man that doesn't respect boundaries is creepy, then that means all men are creepy."

        Do you really think that the response to "hi, my name is Bob!" being attraction or repulsion is not related to how attractive the man is? Also, men are expected to initiate the opening. Very few men are attractive enough to not need to do that. I teased a friend of mine long ago that his pickup line was "ok". The women approached him one after the other. Yes, he was tall and handsome. What works for 1% of men doesn't work at all for the rest of us.

  It's very telling that you think creepy and ugly are you synonyms and non-creepy and attractive are synonyms. Those guys are creepy too. If they're a non-creepy guy, it's because they don't behave like a creep. Not because they're handsome.
