Social awkwardness has often been associated with negative labels such as “creepy”, “weird” and many others. However, a thorough study of what the exact psychological and social traits behind such labels has yet to be produced.
Knox College launched the results of a study trying to find what are the common traits associated with “creepiness”. Taking a more humorous tone, the Rather Be In The Mancave report summarizes the findings and discusses some possible implications.
One of the most important findings of the study is that “creepiness” is more often associated with men than women, with many women perceiving “creepy” men as potentially dangerous. This is in line with other findings of the study, showing that “creepiness” is associated with a variety of jobs and occupations that are also socially linked to men.
The jobs that are more commonly associated with “creepiness” are clown, taxidermist, sex-shop owner and funeral director. There are, of course, many other jobs that can be perceived as “creepy”.
Hobbies and pastime occupations can be perceived as socially awkward as well. Such is the case with collecting dolls, insects or body parts (especially teeth), as well as bird-watching, taking pictures of people and many other.
Finally, the report concludes that “creepiness” is a “response to the ambiguity of threat”, often a result of “non-normative non-verbal and emotional behaviors, unusual physical characteristics and hobbies, or suspect occupations”.
Rather Be In The Mancave links the recent popularity of the topic with the trending stories on major news networks, and uses the findings of the study to create a humorous portrayal of a typical “creepy” man.

Judges took away the possibility of parole for an Australian woman, Erin Patterson, and rejected a bid to overturn her conviction over deadly beef Wellington lunch.
Australian mushroom murderer Erin Patterson lost a bid to overturn her convictions and had a harsher sentence imposed on Friday, failing to prove she was wrongfully jailed for killing three people with a poisoned lunch. Patterson was found guilty last year of murdering her husband’s parents and elderly aunt, deliberately lacing their beef Wellington meal with highly toxic death cap mushrooms. The 52-year-old maintained her triple murder convictions were a “miscarriage of justice”, urging the...

Thailand’s government said on Thursday it had revoked the citizenship of a prominent head rabbi who was a naturalised Thai, as the country tightens enforcement of its immigration laws.

The order was signed by Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, who is also interior minister. Thai law prohibits naturalised citizens from...
Singapore’s decision to send its top diplomat to Indonesia on a surprise visit, following days of terse exchanges over a regional haze, underscores a bid to defuse growing tensions and seek a direct channel to President Prabowo Subianto. Analysts say Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan’s trip reflected his country’s preference for measured diplomacy amid rising nationalistic rhetoric in Indonesia, with the city state also mindful of containing any “negative fallout” as Jakarta grapples with...
