A study published by Business Wire, citing a US survey (online, SurveyMonkey; men and women aged 22-40), showed that 69% of American men believe that the fear of being considered “creepy” (terrible, repulsive) affects how they interact with women, and 44% of men said that this fear reduces the likelihood of such interactions.
At the same time, some media outlets, discussing anxiety when meeting in person, cite data suggesting that women’s demand for offline dating may be higher than men assume: one such report states that 77% of women aged 18-30 would like men to meet more often in real life (68% of women aged 30+ are also mentioned).
