According to the FBI, men commit 80% of violent crimes, 99% of sexual assaults, and the majority of property crimes. It’s no surprise that women are cautious in a world shaped by these statistics.

But that doesn’t mean questionable behavior from women should go unnoticed. In a popular thread, men shared things women do that would likely be seen as creepy if the roles were reversed. Here’s what they had to say.

Young woman with blonde hair wearing a black top, posing indoors with colorful lights in the background, depicting problematic behaviors. “If you don’t love me at my worst, you don’t deserve me at my best”

No lady, you’re just an a*****e.

    Young woman showing frustrated and emotional behavior indoors, illustrating problematic behaviors women get a pass for according to men. Physical a***e. I am 6’3” 240, dating a girl who was half my size and would constantly strike me. Even my friends laughed about it. She ended up breaking my orbital bone and then no one found it funny.

    Nope. This isn't a pass. There have been women and girls horrifically a*****e, and they do it so calculating and planned to get at the guy when he's most vulnerable. Such as when he's sleeping or occupied with something.

    Young man wearing sunglasses with rainbow face paint and beads, smiling outdoors, highlighting problematic behaviors women get a pass for. As a gay man, two things:

    1. Women wanting to be friends with us so that they can parade us around as their "gay best friend". Had a few "friends" pull this s**t on me, the moment that they start introducing me to their friends as "this is my gay friend that I was telling you about" I stopped talking to them.

    2. Try to "turn me straight" by doing things to attempt to seduce me. Like WTF? I'm not interested. Also, the number of women who ask me for intimate details on my s*x life and act like it's not awkward at all is insane...

    Young woman in a pink shirt and black apron taking notes, illustrating problematic behaviors women get a pass for according to men. I hate when waitresses touch me, whenever I post this too I get a torrent of replies saying that studies have proven that men are more likely to tip more if the waitress touches them. I don't care, I don't want to be touched by you.

    Your male friends were saying you were lucky, sorry those people are not your friends, They're the people who WILL side with her if she gets mad when you reject her advances, and claims you did something to her.

    Young woman with long hair enjoying a cherry outdoors, representing problematic behaviors women get a pass for according to men. Hasn't happened to me, but I often see girls/women posting about how they flirt with someone that they have no interest in just because they are bored.

    I've seen huge pages on FB post something like:

    "Ugh I hate it when you flirt with a guy when you're bored and then they start to like you"

    Playing with people like that is messed up.

    Man in a black t-shirt using a smartphone near a window, symbolizing discussion on problematic behaviors women get a pass for I was dating this girl who ended up faking that she would do a "surprise visit" to my house while i lived very far away. She'd text me that she'd be there in two minutes and was annoyed that i was annoyed that she'd show up unannounced while she wouldn't even know if I was home or not.After i broke it off she did it a couple times more.

    She convinced a friend of mine to "lure" me into a bar where she was so she could "win me back". I come in to the bar, my friend isn't there, but the girl i ended things with and eventually blocked when things went to far was there and she went as far as blocking my path to the exit, saying that if I left she would scream that i was threatening her.

    I'm not saying it's all women, but I've had a few experiences like this, although they didn't go THAT far.

    Hand with long black and clear nails, illustrating problematic behaviors women get a pass for according to men. Women: the number of you with long nails that are crusty underneath is alarmingly high. I even had a former coworker who regularly kept her nails at 3" length who once commented on me cleaning under my nails and remarked inquisitively as to why she always sees men cleaning.under them, and that it made no sense to her.

    I then glanced at hers and i can only describe what i saw as an accumulation of spebum, dead skin and potato chip crumbs.

    Please...please clean under your nails.

    Young woman leaning on a counter holding a coffee cup, illustrating problematic behaviors women get a pass for according to men. The "figure me out" game. They intentionally communicate poorly because they want their partner to figure out what is going on.

    It's downright a*****e. I was that partner years ago and I'm still messed up because of it. If my fiancée is having a bad day and talking less than usual, I have to restrain myself from anxiously trying to figure out what I may have done to cause this.

    Men Are Venting About Women’s Creepy Behaviors And Point Out These 30 Was at a PTA event at school like the opening week.

    So they did a powerpoint animated slideshow to introduce all the teachers.

    When the younger early 20’s male gym teacher was up on the screen there was like a little uproar from all the moms. Like about him being hot etc.

    Even weirder is he grew up on the next block and went to the same school when he was a kid and his mom is still my neighbor.


    If the guys did the same for a hot female teacher I’m sure they would have been run out of the room.

    Men Are Venting About Women’s Creepy Behaviors And Point Out These 30 Two years ago I was on an archaeological dig where one of the other students was a woman about ten years older than me. On the first day in the field- before I even knew her name or said a word to her- she walked up to me and said "You have really big hamstrings". At the end of each day in the field she used to walk around with her shirt off while we were packing up. The worst thing she did though was one day while I was screening (using a screen to check sand we had removed from the ground for any small artifacts we might have missed), she came right up behind me, got really close, and said "Do you have tan lines from those shorts? I bet you could pull off something a lot shorter".

    Can you imagine if the roles there had been reversed? I'd be on probation if I said something like that to a woman.

    That's just vandalism. I don't think females should have a pass for that. I don't think they actually do in reality. Just in movies, shows and songs. That Carrie Underwood song aged like bananas.

    I'd advise women not to do that, but then I'd be helping them to hide how creepy and s****y they are. Always knew to stay the F away from women who did that.

    Men Are Venting About Women’s Creepy Behaviors And Point Out These 30 This happened to a good buddy of mine. He was asked out by the girl in one of our classes who he barely knew, and had basically never talked to. He politely declined and moved on, didn’t think much about it. She continued to post on social media for months in a very explicit manner how he missed out on her, and how she’s too good for him and how he was ghosting her.

    I brought it up with him, and he said he didn’t really care, so he let it go. But I was super pissed with her. Romantically Accosting people on the internet is never cool.

    Men Are Venting About Women’s Creepy Behaviors And Point Out These 30 So I've had very unique, long red curly hair all my life. Unfortunately for me this meant a lot of old ladies liked it. I cannot count the amount of times an old lady went up to me and said "ohh I can't help myself" (or something like that) and just rubbed their hands through my hair (without asking me) . This s**t happened since I barely walk. It even happened when as a toddler/kid I was extremely shy and would hide behind my mum.

    Granted, now that I'm 21 people don't do that any more but it still bugs me that it happened.

    I think it would depend on how old you are. If were to be crushing on some young boy bands in my 40s, it wouldn't sound too good, too. lol But if I recall, I think I heard some of the boys in my class having crushes on some pop stars. One guy got a bit too excited seeing Jamie Lee Curtis during a movie day in class. I was a bit embarrassed to admit who I crushed on, too. Really depends on the person.
