Here's the article

In the X post, which boasts 1.6 million views, she recalled how a male stranger sitting behind her handed her a “piece of paper and said, “Take this and read it later. It’s not creepy."

Yeah, can't see anything creepy about that lol

lol the title of the article is “Passenger horrified”

Then the article:

“It was a handwritten note complimenting my hair at length … and [a] $100 bill,” exclaimed the flabbergasted gal.

However, the passenger explained in a follow-up post how she didn’t find it creepy because her mile-high admirer “didn’t leave a number and there was clearly no expectation or hope that we would interact again.”

Apparently it’s fine to do weird shit as long as there’s money involved

What is the difference between creepy and a hopeless romantic?

Money. Sometimes looks. But usually money.

I think it's actually chemistry. If you have chemistry with the person it probably won't be creepy. Now looks, and money, okay a part in chemistry but the two issue isn't ugly, poor people. It's people that don't seem to know it care if someone is in to them.

I often see people trying to reduce creepy/not creepy down to one variable, but I think it's at least two very broad categories: mutual interest and context.

Leaving my partner a surprise gift telling them I'll always be with them and will never leave is romantic. Doing the same to someone I've just met is terrifying.

If I had a dollar for every woman who called me ugly, women wouldn't think I was ugly anymore

Do women randomly walk up to you and tell you that you are ugly?

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

And then give me a dollar, yes

It's very confusing
