Uh yes we can. --Seriously my awkward social skills creeped people out when I was a teenager. I heard them talking --barely trying to hide their disparaging comments. I hated those that tended to look like them -- an still cannot be attracted to them due to the searing impact it had on my emotion-based memories. Study a little bit of science of why those memories stay with you: Emotion and memory Try to start over and either do not aim for unthinking social-engineering vulnerable people or learn social skills -- not real ones --at first--just acting-- imitating --Later it will be second nature-- IF you risk spending time doing this-- maybe you cannot even THINK of that right now. I have been there.

Women cannot be creeps? Watch the movie Fatal Attraction and tell me the Glen Close character isn't a creep.
Dating is awkward for both men and women. Men don't want to ask and be turned down or worse ridiculed. Women classically have to subtly give signs of interest, but again fear rejection. Today some of these old rules have loosened up abit and women can invite a man. In either case the first few dates can be stressful for both.  You are correct, there is nothing wrong with a female giving signs of interest, and they still deserves full respect from the men.

Have you ever watched the show "The Office"? I think Meredith would be considered a creep.

What about the overly-attached girlfriend meme? Definitely a girl creep.

Much like very forward unattractive guys, very forward unattractive girls are also considered creeps. It's not fair for either party, but it definitely goes both ways.

You're right, we don't hear of female creeps. What we do hear of is crazy stalker women, which doesn't exactly translate back to the male side so well.

It's unfair, but it does happen for both sides. Any overbearing person can make someone else really uncomfortable, regardless of gender. It depends on the "victim" and how they view the creep.

They definitely exist. For a few (somewhat extreme) examples:
Female sex offenders reveal cultural double standard
Female paedophiles 'more prevalent' than conviction rates suggest

Aside from that, it depends on what the guy likes. Personally, if I'm not attracted to someone, her pursuing me further won't change that, and will just make me try to avoid her more. If I was interested, I would have said so in the first place.

I have met plenty of creepy women. Basically a creep provides unwanted and inappropriate sexual attention. It is just that society tends to laugh this off when women do it, while the fear is that for men it is a prelude to sexual assault.

Both men and women have troubles when it comes to dating.
