    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

      The real take away is that the $100 indicates the weirdo is wealthy enough to just give her, a stranger, that money for no apparent reason. So if you are wealthy, doing weird stuff is fine.

      It looked like the consensus in the comments was that he probably snipped some of her hair to take home with him without her noticing before giving her the note with the money in it

        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
