Having a ‘repulsion/creepiness’ response to supplement an ‘attraction’ response seems like something to expect as an early, basic optimization. Something that would begin to be optimized before even bothering with things like human level intelligence.
Has anything like the repulsion response been seen in animals?
Something I don’t think I’ve seen discussed is that the men who set off the repulsion response seem to be pretty rare. I haven’t heard of the response being studied scientifically.
If PUA helps, it might not distinguish between men who have been ignored and men who have been actively avoided.

From what I understand of the philosophy a personal development program based on PUA would be expected and intended to reduce the amount that the guy is placed in the ‘ignored’ category while actually increasing the ‘actively avoided’ category. Because being ignored is useless (and ‘no fun’) while being actively avoided actually just saves time. Bell curves and blue and red charts apply.
There tends to be some lessons on how to reduce ‘creepiness’ in general because obviously being creepy in general is going to be a hindrance to the intended goals.

My brief searching for ‘creepiness research’ didn’t turn up much either. But to be honest I don’t really know where to look. :)
