Was he being creepy? should i be careful around him?

So I’m 25 and there’s this guy who’s super friendly that it’s almost creepy. He kept complimenting me about random things, the way I dress, my car, my tattoos, my nails, my shoes, and so on and we just met. The last time someone complimented me like that turns out to be a creep (he’s also in his mid 40s) and he was a creep to girls in their 20s like me and he’s married and has kids too. Idk if this guy is married but I assume he’s not judging by the insane amount of time he works per week. I feel terrible feeling this way about a person who I just met and I feel like a judgmental person but the last few times I had a gut feeling like this about someone, I was right. Idk, what do you guys think? Do you think its normal for a complete stranger to compliment a person they just met about several things in a span of maybe 15 minutes. Would you feel comfortable if an older man (or woman) twice your age compliment you like that without sounding like they want something in return eventually?

    Trust your gut. The reality is most men are pigs.

    Trust your intuition, if you feel something is off about a person or situation it normally is. Giving someone you have just met a long shopping list of compliments is coming on far too strong.

    Establish strong boundaries with that guy. It's okay to view him as creepy. No one likes too many compliments. It's insincere and manipulative. Or obsessive. None of which are good things.

    Trust your gut. In my experience, it's rarely wrong.

    It’s not sexist! Men literally think with their dicks. I’m very guilty of being naive towards dudes in the past. I’m reminded that none of them just want to be my friend when they immediately wanna try to fuck even knowing I’m in a committed relationship and have a fuckload of kids. Lol.

    I’m not a feminist in that aspect. There are very big differences between men and women.

      Because sex is a natural biological aspect of being a man, it doesn't make them pigs. For someone who doesn't identify as feminists, you sure are lenient to feminist behaviors inspite of that.. Calling people pigs for being their own biological selves is prejudice and judgments towards someone who's different, and that's what feminists do to men.

          Nope, not in the same way as a man actually. Women don't have the same biological aspects for sex as a man, women are more emotional and more on for romances while men are for sex. Thus anecdotes and personal experiences don't work and you're just gonna keep losing on your arguments if you keep going at it. And it's feminism that makes women more like men and vice versa.

      You arent wrong tho. 99% of the time if you're attractive your guy friend is gonna want to fuck you. Its hard for a guy not to want to fuck his friends if they are attractive to him. I have genuinely had girls that were just friends before where we hung out and nothing happened. But if we were drunk I definitely would have atleast tried to. Never set out planning to do it but in the right setting it would have prolly been attempted.

    I'd say just be nice back to him, and if he goes overboard then just back away from him. I've had female coworkers around their 40s that was creepy around me too and I didn't like it, so...

    Any guy old enough to be your Dad flirting nonstop is a huge red flag. They have 20+ years on you. When I was in my 20s me and all my friends were naive compared to in our 30s. He's trying to take advantage of you. Run.
