Being only 20 years old, I have gone through some pretty amazing things. None of these things can really compare to my chase of and obsession with girls and many gorgeous, dazzling women.

The one thing I’ve noticed — and it drives me crazy — is their ability to thoroughly judge a person.

Although it’s normal for a person to judge right on contact, or maybe at sight, this is a different type of judging I’m talking about. I’m talking about a word that has been used to describe many men, and rightfully so, but in most cases the word “creeper,” is used so unfairly that it’s starting to irritate me.

One thing I’ve noticed about women using the word “creep” is that anybody can qualify for that label.

Nobody, and I mean nobody, is immune to the word, especially the guys who actually are creeps.

I didn’t realize that telling a woman your true feelings is such a bad thing.

Shouldn’t they have the right to know these things? Isn’t that how the best love stories happen?

The thing that annoys me the most about the term is that you could be the nicest guy on the planet.

There’s a girl you’re crushing on, you don’t call her, hardly even talk to the her, but you ask her on a date or to hang out sometime and the answer is “no” because you’re a creep. Is that really fair?

No, they label people they haven’t even given a chance, and why?

They have no answer besides the fact that he’s a “creep.” The guy hasn’t been texting her like crazy, hasn’t been calling her or stalking her, so I really don’t get why and how they can label a guy like that a “creeper.”

When I think of the term “creep,” it can be brought back to the two or three traits previously stated.

A “creep,” to me, doesn’t give up on the girl and is consistent at asking the girl out and saying creepy things, and there’s a big line between the two.

Telling a girl that you think she’s gorgeous and you’d love to hang out with her sometime is not the same as a guy saying, “Hey, you’re pretty hot, we should bang sometime.” Now, that’s creepy.

Girls need to find the fine line between the creepers and the non-creepers, because the whole injustice that millions of men have faced is really starting to irk me.

So, ladies, leave that awful term at home and save it for the guy who is actually a creep — for the guy who sends texts all the time and has a habit of sending you Facebook messages, not the guy who sits three rows back in your journalism class and finally gets the courage to ask you out. Thanks.
