To wonder honestly what must go on in the minds of some men?

I've just taken my niece out for lunch. She's 16 and with the arrival of the weather she's been wearing a t-shirt and a mini skirt with her converse. Typical look for your typical teen but for just during lunch alone she was accosted by 2 different men who asked for her number. Both men clearly middle-aged and trying their luck. I admit she does look older than a teen but sheer audacity of these men hitting on a 16 year old girl really riled me.

I stared down an old man leering at my 8 yr old in a bikini on holiday. She's beautiful, but very obviously way pre-pubescent. Likewise the chap who practically fell out of his van to eye up my 15 yr old neice.

I still remember being about 14 and winning a competition to go on a high profile trip. My dad came with me, I was really nervous. And just as we were setting off my mum telling me not to hold his arm or anything because people might think I was his girlfriend. I spent the whole trip not knowing how to act around my own father.

Being sexually attracted to children

Sexually abusing children is where it gets blurred between a sexual desire and just wanting to abuse for whatever ever reason

Many men may not be abusing children who are having sexual thoughts but they are certainly acting out in a predatory way when looking at young children we can see it in their faces in their eyes they can control themselves as they choose not to

Even with women this sort of thing happens in clubs all the time - as if dancing and minding your own business is somehow a cue for lecherous older men to come up and completely invade your space, stop you from dancing, try and hit on you, etc it's ridiculous...

I wonder if they think that tactic is ever going to work? Me and my friend were just on about this last night...we had the best night was loving the music and was having fun dancing but had to try and shake off this old guy that just wouldn't leave us alone -

Guys it's creepy, cringeworthy and annoying.... stop it!

As for perving over school children/young teenagers - that's 100 times worse hideous behaviour

I used to holiday in the UK quite a bit with my father, 40 years older than me, mostly camping with the odd B&B. As we were on a tight budget we would often share a twin room. I remember going into a hotel in Wales where we asked for a TWIN room, the (male) receptionist kept insisting that we may prefer a double and actually winked at my father. If it hadn't been getting too late to find anywhere else, we would have left right then & told the manager why.
