I always found that it was easier for them to prey on their naivety when they are under 30. After that, they move to the stupid ones.

When women become more suspicious, and can more be comfortable saying no, or automatically reject older men, the hunters “lose interest.” These guys have a hard time with more experienced targets.

I dated a much older man when I was 21, our on/off relationship lasted many years. He had all kinds of secrets, but lack of experience means I ignored the red flags.

He recently contacted me about a business idea that sounded like sketchy MLM crap, but I don’t really know because I didn’t ask. If you’re contacting me after 25 years and your first questions aren’t about my life and my family, my Spidey sense tells me you see me as a target.

After we broke up, his career involved tax evasion and organized crime. Not sure how much time he spent behind bars. First thing out of his mouth was “I have been following your career for years with great interest and I was really surprised that you’re not more successful given your potential. I really expected you would be doing better.” Yeah, he tried to neg me and disclose he had been stalking me in the same sentence.

Sadly, he is not the only one.

By the way, my four stalker fans read my stuff here.

Shout out to the boyfriend my family adored who wanted to “catch up" after pleading guilty to sex crimes involving attempted kidnapping a naked elderly woman with a loaded gun. Sure, let’s meet for coffee. He kind of failed to mention his ex-con sex offender status in his social media profile. A younger, less-experienced target would have believed his squeaky clean, nice guy Christian image and not done a background check.

Fuck these perverts.
