A question for women.?

Question

I've recently joined Yahoo Answers, and noticed quite a few guys in various categories are kinda creepy by the way they word their questions and answers. Do women here think they act creepy in all aspects of their lives, or just when they're behind the anonymity of the internet?

I'm particularly interested in answers to this question by women.

Answer 1

I'm actually really nice in real life but after taking to whiney a******s all day on the phone i need to vent

Answer 2

look whos talking

Answer 3

I agree they are creepy and are using this to hide behind. In real life they are probably different

Answer 4

It's mostly when they're on the internet. Most of them who say those 'creepy' things online don't even have the guts to tell it to a woman or anyone else face-to-face.

Answer 5

no

Answer 6

I think anybody has the potential to be creepy.  But, I agree, I think males are more apt to be more creepy when behind a computer.  A person is much more bolder and a lot more themselves when they are alone with a computer.   I just avoid those folks.. males and females.

I don't think men act creepy in all aspects.  Honestly.. I think females are more creepy in the real world..  seriously.    

Answer 7

Probably both, besides, most of everyone here acts differently when they away from the computer. 98 % of the people who claim themselves as racist or say racist comments, wouldn't dare do that off screen. Internet helps psychos, creeps, and ignorant people to function better.

Answer 8

I think they're probably really creepy all the time, but they let the true extent of that creepiness come out on the internet, because they're tucked safely behind their computers.

Answer 9

I JUST FIGURE THEY ACT DUMB BEHIND THEY'RE COMPUTER SCREEN

Answer 10

my personal opinion: Some guys are nice, some are creepy.  But I think they all have thoughts of creepiness on their minds at some time or another but the creepy ones just can't control it.  The ones on here are probably both.  Some probably are like that only online.  Everyone says the TRUE things on their mind online.  I'm really trying not to do that and to practice internet etiquette but it's kinda hard because of the stuff people say.  

Answer 11

Well that would depend on the person. Some people like to act like creeps to get arise out of others. And some are probably like that in their daily life.

Answer 12

umm... I would say that those guys probably are a bit creepy in the real world, but they might be excessively so on YA because of the anonymity factor. But who knows? They might be perfectly normal people who just like to f**k with others online...or you could also say we're all a bit creepy.

Answer 13

Some of the guys are so creepy, you have to guess that they could not be like that in real life and exist in the real world.  But, I suspect many are in prison, and using the prison computers and that explains why they are so out of touch with reality.

Answer 14

Anybody here seen Martha?

Answer 15

Well, in real life I am quiet. But in the internet I rant a lot. Not in a bad way though. But maybe if they're creeps here, they are probably creepy in the real world too.

Answer 16

I think anonymity and lack of real consequences leads everyone here to say things they might not otherwise say.
