Occasionally in the morning, around 7:30 or 8 before I start doing any real work, I browse the YouTube. Some mornings I'll watch the Simpsons or Conan clips or occasionally some user-generated crap.
Yesterday morning I ended up watching a slew of To Catch a Predator clips. Don't ask me how - I don't know. Everyone knows that show by now, right? It's where Dateline NBC traps online pedophiles by asking them to meet up in person and then has Chris Hanson walk out and ask them what the hell they're doing.
As I'm watching these clips, one after another, I kept noticing a similar element about the predators over and over: None of them put a lot of effort into their appearance/hygiene. These guys were walking into the situation with stains on their shirts, wearing old pairs of sweatpants, having not shaved in a few days. Dudes! What you're doing is already creepy enough as is! Would it kill you to put on a nice pair or jeans and wash your hair!? Don't be such a stereotype!
You have the potential to do creepy things with a 12-year-old girl (or boy). Now I'm in no way condoning this. It's undeniably disgusting and wrong. But if you actually want to have a shot with a pre-pubescent child you should probably put some effort into your appearance. Maybe try and style your hair like Zac Efron. Or watch a few episodes of That's So Raven and get a few fashion tips. Just...try a little harder.
But not really. Because what you're doing is fucking creepy.
