first off, i'm not a kid anymore
it's a name one of you chose for me
for a couple obvious reasons
i'm in my 20's now
but even today still called "kid"
so i'll use it here too
this is my first post here
i did used to come and read a lot
trying to understand my friend and those like him

my question today is
what do you look like?
i don't mean to be rude
maybe i just don't understand
but we recently had a child porn sting where i live
and they ALL look the same
all men, mostly older and all big
fat and ugly to be truthful

now those just might be the sleazy ones
the pervs who break laws and get caught
i'm not saying any of you are this way
but i wonder if there's something to it
being a so-called pedophile and being out-of-shape
(to put it nicely)

any thoughts on this?

my friend who brought me here does not look this way
but he's married too
maybe that's the reason?
because he doesn't look like other pedophiles
i mean, is there a certain "look" do you think?
a stereotype?
do you match that look?
does it concern you?
are you trying to get fit because of it?
or do you NOT match that look?
and has this worked in your favor?
not that you are doing anything sleazy or criminal
i mean has it helped keep other people from thinking "things" about you?
do you feel more/less paranoid as a pedophile because of your look?

i'll tell more about myself later if you'd like
now that i'm older, i can see clearer
and i have some questions
thanks for your help
