" I wanna roll around my house like a slug and control my lights " 😂😂😂 also, stop making all my Google products go off!

I'd agree with Rhett that creepiness is a lot subtler than someone making goofy faces

I think the 'creepy' question is referring to the unsettling, beneath-the-surface 'sense' that something is a little bit 'off' about a person, not necessarily something odd about their appearance - the way Link is describing it. It can be something as overt as someone's strange behavior or as subtle as the way they make you feel when you're around them - like, as nice as they seem, you wouldn't want to be alone with them.

Link has a pretty cartoonish idea of what makes people creepy lmao

@Joyfulellyn 7 years ago

I agree with Rhett about creepiness, it's not something quantifiable. Link kept going on about a person's appearance, but that's not necessarily what makes a person creepy. You feel it.

Thanks for dimming my lights at my home Rhett...

@magicjack7570 7 years ago

It's sorta the "uncanny valley" effect. Sociopaths are good at mimicry and can do a good job of pretending to have certain emotions. However, because they inherently lack empathy some people can see through it and it becomes creepy. Just my two cents.

I swear it's the second time Link said Ben and Jerry died but they're both living

OK Google, dim the lights in the Ear Biscuits studio. :)

Like how Mark Zuckerberg’s mannerisms make him look like he is wearing his skin as a suit and trying to do the most generic ideas of humanism to pass himself off. Instead it makes him look bizarre

Stop dimming my li...wait I don't have a Google Assistant...

Rhett, it's their aura. You feel their energy. And, Link, get on board

@samanthaa842 6 years ago

I agree with Rhett. I often can't explain why I don't like a person on place. But every time I didn't trust my gut I regret it

@Vojife 7 years ago

I think that creepy thing is mostly very subtle body language cues that you don't pick up on consciously, but subconsciously there's something a bit off about the patterns.

@MrsBungle78 5 years ago

One can give off creepy vibes without looking or doing anything creepy at all.

@davidriddle6677 6 years ago

It's from a combination of every sense working together, subtle hints and actions that make you think someone is mentally unstable or dangerous or outside the norm of how "trustable" people act.

@kennedym263 6 years ago (edited)

creepiness cannot always be quantified as Link is describing, but it’s always definitely a hormonal, intuitive, feeling. you guys are giving solid advice about trusting intuition, that will save lives.

Also consider studies about ovulating women. Strippers get tipped so much more when they’re ovulating than when they’re not. There’s something biological about us that can unconsciously sense these things.
