Are skinny men creepy?

I can't remember what the post was about, but recently someone commented that everyone has an instinct for when something is amiss. One of the examples they gave was skinny men being creepy. It interested me at the time but I can't find anything to substantiate the claim. It was said in a factual way rather than as an opinion.

Has anyone heard this before? Is it maybe because men are 'supposed' to be muscular? Or because a skinny frame could be perceived as being skeletal?
Just curious where this has come from, not wanting to offend anyone (my DP is skinny and sexy as hell Grin)

Sorry, part of my post went missing.

3 creepy fat men and at least 2 skinny men.

Extremely strange thing to say. I have met creepy men of all statures.

No, quite often the creepiest men are short and fat and a bit sweaty.

Can I just say again that this isn't my opinion but something someone posted on a different thread about acting instinctively, such as finding skinny men creepy. An instinctive reaction.
Anyway, whatever she meant by it, it seems that no one agrees!

Just sounds like shitty body shaming!
