creepy

Wholesome memes about family time and cats are great... if that's your thing. But it's sad to say they just don't hit as hard as most of these dark memes. Sure, the jokes can seem dangerous, but if you really look at it that way, it's probably just not your humor. These memes are for the people who can get really dark, but love to laugh at the severely f**ked up things in life too. If that's you, enjoy!

It's always interesting to think about what causes us to be afraid of something. And why are there so many common phobias? It seems like there are more people who are creeped out by spiders than are not. Clowns are also just plain disturbingto most people, at least in my circle.

Between men and women, women are usually the ones expected to have more fears. This conception is mostly because, well, you know... misogyny. But really it seems unlikely that gender or sex has anything to do with how easily spooked we are.

On a new Reddit thread, men are confessing their most pressing fears. These guys sure deserve an A+ for openness.

We always hear stories of men being creepy. Creepy men at bars, creepy men at the park, creepy men in your dentist's office. It makes total sense because creepy men are indeed everywhere. However, we women, it's time we must admit that sometimes we are the creepy ones. Of course, the line between cute and creepy is very thin. If someone finds you attractive, and you show up randomly in their room, they might be thrilled. But it's always better to ask first, because once your reputation is a 'creeper,' it's hard to recover from that.

On Reddit men are sharing the creepy things women have done to them. It appears that our creepy tactics may be different from men, but they achieve the same result: making someone hella uncomfortable.

In every relationship, we have our deal-breakers. And some of us have very special relationships with the world of porn. We build a certain trust with the industry. Good vibes only you might say. But we all know you can't always control what's about to pop up on your screen, and then you immediately have to turn it off and slowly recover. These kinds of experiences can hurt your relationship with your go-to porn site, especially since it was built on trust. But that's showbiz.

If you've ever had to go on a break from your favorite porn site, you may relate to these deal-breakers that people shared on Reddit.

It usually is a great feeling to learn something new. Yay, more knowledge! More fun facts to share with friends and family! However, sometimes the kind of information you come by is not family-friendly in the slightest, and you have no interest in spreading it around or even thinking about it when you're alone. For every fun fact, there is a very un-fun fact. When we come into possession of such disturbing facts we are given the choice to ruin other people's innocence as well or keep it buried deep inside our mind for eternity.

Well, there's a Reddit thread that encourages people to share the creepy facts they wish they didn't know, and people definitely delivered. Don't say I didn't warn you!

Women unfortunately have to prepare themselves for a lot of situations. It's not fun, at all, but it's something a lot of us have in common. Luckily, more and more, women are encouraged to share their stories. Doing so helps make other people with similar encounters feel slightly better because they realize it is not just their 'issue.'

 It will never be okay, but at least we have more of a voice now.

One extremely courageous woman shared her story on Twitter. You may relate to it or even learn something from it. Either way, it's important that we got each other's backs because there's nothing hotter than women supporting women.

It's amazing how so many things are continuously progressing and changing, especially during these trying times, yet men still have the audacity to mansplain. It's honestly a talent, the complete disregard for female intelligence and patience. I suppose it's the way they're raised, but why would somebody try to raise a know-it-all?

It's important to note that we girls do not think that all men are serial mansplainers, though if they reject the existence of 'mansplaining,' it's a definite red flag. These tweets definitely capitalize on that.

Power can go to someone's head very quickly. You realize people are doing things for you, sometimes even if you don't even ask, and then you start to tell yourself, "Hey, I must be a pretty important person, I don't have to treat people with respect anymore, dope!" Well, for everyone working 'underneath' you... It sucks. It's so hard because unless somebody plans to quit, they can just tell their boss to screw off. Boy, would it feel good though. Only in my dreams.

The line between what is and is not creepy can be very thin. One of the plus sides of being a woman is that we are rarely accused of behaving creepy (even though we all do from time to time). However, for men... Well, they have to figure it out quickly. You can't just stare at a woman for an extended period of time, even if you find her hella attractive. It's not a compliment, sorry. 

Unfortunately, there's no real guidebook for how to avoid being creepy, and it can depend on the relationship. All I can say is if you think there's any chance you're potentially making someone uncomfortable just stop <3.

There has always been a double-standard for girls and boys when it comes to dress-codes. In every student handbook, there are about ten pages reserved for girls: No bra straps showing, no skirts above the pinky finger, no collarbones, no leggings, no backs showing — I could easily go on for several paragraphs.

When you finally get to the boy section: No swear words on shirts, no hats... and that's basically the extent of it.

I was under the impression that school systems were changing and people were finally understanding how unfair it is to put the responsibility on the girls to make sure the boys don't get 'distracted.' But apparently we're still not there yet. And, apparently, it's not just the students who find it distracting. Ew.

Only a few days ago Tiktok user Nab decided to share her experience intervening in the situation we all know too well. Being crept on in the middle of the night by creepy-ass men. We usually try everything we can do to avoid this situation. We try to go out in groups, never walk outside alone, get in and out of our car as fast as we can... but sometimes it's unavoidable. Men will be men.

It just feels fitting that during International Women's Month we honor the women who have had to sit through cringy mansplaining experiences. I don't know how they do it. Oh, wait, just kidding I do, because I'm a woman too, and I'm well aware that we get mansplained to nearly every day of our lives. One way to get through it (besides reminding yourself that mansplainers are trash), is to share the experience on Twitter. A safe space, where women can roast men free-ly, and then they get butt-hurt, and we literally couldn't care less.

With everyone's information all over the web, it almost feels way too easy to unintentionally slip into stalking someone. First, you see them on someone else's Instagram post, then you look up their own page, but, oh no, they're private. So it's time to go on Facebook, let's see, maybe their mom's profile is public.

See how quick that was? Being a stalker can easily be a part of someone's everyday routine!

Nobody can control their dreams, and it can be really frustrating sometimes, like when you're trying to run away from a monster and you are making no progress. Ugh, it's annoying just thinking about it. Sometimes dreams can be nice though, even pleasurable. Every so often you realize your true feelings for someone because they popped up in your REM. But sometimes you have an intimate dream that is just messed up. It happens to everyone, nothing to be ashamed of. Just... remember it's only a dream, right?

Just about everyone who speaks to men on dating apps has had their fair share of creepy and gross messages. It's something of a rite of passage, and the sheer volume of Facebook posts and Reddit threads featuring screenshots of inappropriate texts is proof that men as a collective need a dressing-down (#yesallmenneedmyadvice).

Below is a series of screenshots of text conversations from dating apps where the guy said something pervy. I'm going to tell them, on behalf of all you beautiful online daters out there, how they could have gotten a date instead (hint: it's usually "just be normal"). Read on!
