Creep Is In the Eye of the Beholder -- Or Not

I followed the Long Island Serial Killer case some years ago and am really glad they caught Rex Heuermann.  I believe they have the right person.

However, along the way, they discovered an incredibly dark web of corruption and violence against women, including a police chief, a doctor, all kinds of rich people.  And a lot of dead, low-income women.

But the thing that struck me about the above video is the gender divide in the comments.  A lot of men are going so far as to call it clickbait, that the voicemail isn't creepy at all. 

Even in hindsight they aren't willing to validate that Rex Heuermann -- described as looking like an ogre by one of Amber Costello's neighbors years ago -- creeped this girl out. 

This woman sidestepped an alleged serial killer, and the comment section is jam-packed with men in hard denial about it.  This is why we can't have nice things. 

I encourage you to scroll through the comment section and see how many men lack self-awareness at that level.  They can't look at the picture of him, and the picture of her, and immediately know why that phone call accurately creeped her out in real time.  They don't get why he shouldn't think he stands any chance with her at all, especially not after bringing up his sex crimes in work conversation.

In the conversation itself he all but admits it's a ruse to talk to her.  Guess what?  Guys make excuses to talk to her all day, every day.  I remember having a similar problem.  She's not confused about it.  Really sad, the percentage of men in the comments who lack the very first clue, even with the stack of evidence in that bail hearing.  They can't give her credit for having accurately read the tea leaves about it.
