    *  Often the pedophile is male and over 30 years of age.   
       * Single or with few friends in his age group.   
       * If married, the relationship is more "companion" based   
       with no sexual relations. * He is often vague about time   
       gaps in employment which may indicate a loss in employment   
       for questionable reasons or possible past incarceration.   
      
   Pedophiles Like Child-like Activities:   
      
       * He is often fascinated with children and child activities   
       appearing to prefer those activities to adult oriented   
       activities. * He will often refer to children in pure or   
       angelic terms using descriptives like innocent, heavenly,   
       divine, pure, and other words that describe children but   
       seem inappropriate and exaggerated. * He has hobbies that   
       are child-like such as collecting popular expensive toys,   
       keeping reptiles or exotic pets, or building plane and car   
       models.   
      
   Pedophiles Often Prefer Children Close to Puberty:   
      
       * Pedophiles often have a specific age of child they   
       target. Some prefer younger children, some older. * Often   
       his environment or a special room will be decorated in   
       child-like decor and will appeal to the age and sex of the   
       child he is trying to entice. * Many pedophiles often   
       prefer children close to puberty who are sexually   
       inexperienced, but curious about sex.   
      
   Pedophiles Work Around Children:   
   The pedophile will often be employed in a position that   
   involves daily contact with children. If not employed, he will   
   put himself in a position to do volunteer work with children,   
   often in a supervisory capacity such as sports coaching,   
   contact sport instruction, unsupervised tutoring or a position   
   where he has the opportunity to spend unsupervised time with a   
   child. The Target Child:   
   The pedophile often seeks out shy, handicapped, and withdrawn   
   children, or those who come from troubled homes or under   
   privileged homes. He then showers them with attention, gifts,   
   taunting them with trips to desirable places like amusement   
   parks, zoo's, concerts, the beach and other such places.   
   Manipulation of the Innocent: Pedophiles work to master their   
   manipulative skills and often unleash them on troubled children   
   by first becoming their friend, building the the child's self   
   esteem. They may refer to the child as special or mature,   
   appealing to their need to be heard and understood then entice   
   them with adult type activities that are often sexual in   
   content such as x-rated movies or pictures. They offer them   
   alcohol or drugs to hamper their ability to resist activities   
   or recall events that occurred. Stockholm Syndrome : It is not   
   unusual for the child to develop feelings for the predator and   
   desire their approval and continued acceptance. They will   
   compromise their innate ability to decipher good and bad   
   behavior, ultimately justifying the criminal's bad behavior out   
   of sympathy and concern for the adults welfare. This is often   
   compared to Stockholm Syndrome - when victims become attached   
   emotionally to their captors. The Single Parent: Many times   
   pedophiles will develop a close relationship with a single   
   parent in order to get close to their children. Once inside the   
   home, they have many opportunities to manipulate the children   
   -- using guilt, fear, and love to confuse the child. If the   
   child's parent works, it offers the pedophile the private time   
   needed to abuse the child.
