An easy way to sound like a creep is to add the word “ladies” to the end of things you say. It can be harmless too, but it just makes you a creep. “Yeah after college I spent two years in the peace corps, ladies?” The more harmless it is, the more of a creep you become. “I broke my arm. I need help, ladies?” FYDemetriMartin
