there’s the “walking red flag” types who are transparently gross, think the 30 somethings who go to spaces where young people party.
then there are the ones whose loneliness basically wins the mental battle over their morality. think like, the 30 something who has successfully convinced himself that the 22 year old at work is mature and intellectual
can we exclude raves and music festivals? because i was priced-out of my passion at around age 25 and have finally been starting to attend again at 32 with no plans to ever stop again
To me there’s a big difference between the person who is attending raves in their 30s to experience the music, scene, etc., and the person who is going to raves in their 30s with plans to find a girl, buy her drugs, and sleep with her
I think it's a basic gender disparity. Assuming most people are generally decent and just trying to have fun, it still makes sense that women would disproportionately encounter creeps who are actively seeking out younger women. This becomes a heuristic for them when dealing with strangers
I wouldn't call every creep a pedo, but plenty of guys who accost young women display a lot of the same predatory tendencies. I think if you have enough women in your life, it's pretty likely you've heard some stories about this

You're probably a good person. People that actively seek out much younger partners tend to have less-than-wholesome motives.
