This movie is not a documentary about the typical reaction of a normal girl. Let's say that more than 90% of girls would think of the guy as a creep, then what ? Nobody say the girl was a typical teenager having a typical normal reaction.
It's like the majority of girls who don't like bald guys, it doesn't mean that's it's irrealistic for one girl to like one bald guy, low probability # irrealistic. -

I guess with the way Kale talked about what he had gathered about her by observing her he came off just genuinely interested in her and not as a pervert.
I don't mean to impose, but I am the Ocean. -

I didn't find it to be that unrealistic. It seemed like she sorta liked him upon seeing him to begin with. And she did say that she didn't know weather to be creeped out, or thought it was really sweet (or something to that effect). If it was some old dude who was a pervert I think it would had been a little more unreal.

He could had probably made the argument if it were ever brought up that he was on house arrest and didn't have anything else better to do with his time. Either way it is not normal behavior, but neither is being stuck in the house not being able to go outside.

first off all, he is on house arrest and therfor had nothing better to do. his character is obviously not the type to just peep on the neighbors he clearly did stuff such as play games hang out with friends fish with his father etc etc.
it wasnt until had none of that to do that he begin peepin on the neighborhood.
she knew that his peeping wasnt the actions of a peeping tom but were the actions of someone board and just trying to connect with the outside world through binoculars. -

"first off all, he is on house arrest and therfor had nothing better to do."
Surely you don't really mean that. Just from the top of my head, things to do when stuck alone in a house: read, do research, learn to play a musical instrument, learn a foreign language, play darts, learn magic tricks, learn to juggle, watch movies, make movies (challenging but not impossible; "South Park" could have been made by one person), write (Hitler wrote
Mein Kampf
in prison), study any of a million subjects (art, literature, history, science, mathematics), practice T'ai chi ch'uan, gymnastics, lift weights, practice meditation, practice calligraphy. -

Yeah really, how many people complained about this basically redoing Rear Window because TODAY, NOBODY spends the day looking out their window at their neighbors? He could've done any one of a dozen things instead of playing Peeping Tom.

She wasn't turned on by the fact they were peeping on her. If that had been the case she would have carried on without saying anything so they could continue watching her.
She went round there to make it clear she knew and to enjoy the power that gave her over them. Obviously she wouldn't have done that if she hadn't already met Shia's character and realised he was unthreatening and even intimidated by her. So it was just a bit of fun for her to tease him for a while. Then she got intrigued by his suspicions about the other neighbor. -

True, not many females would be that eager to fall for a guy into voyeurism. But most movies have a love interest of some kind, and the neighbor girl seemed like the most obvious choice. In "American Beauty", Thora Birch falls for a guy with less than 'purely artistic' motives for using that video camera of his. She even exposes herself to him from her bedroom, at one point. Is that scene merely a male fantasy? Maybe, but I many people (of both genders) have a bit of an exhbitionist streak, deep down inside. We all want to be noticed, and validated in one way or another.
