As one can see, creepiness is mostly about neurotypical behavior and attractiveness (or rather the absence thereof). These traits are possibly under [[Fisherian runaway|runaway selection]], explaining why people respond to sensitively to them (as runaway selection also results in an exaggerated sexual preference). | |||
