You have to probably look pretty weird, too.

Like looking like some old fat, toothless guy when you’re in your 30s. Or some fat guy with greasy hair.

I bet you don’t even look 40.

You probably look pretty normal. That might change if you continue drinking, though.

Guess I look older than my age then. Might explain why I get labelled pedophile.


I doubt it. Its either a particular culture in your pub and you're just an easy target because you are on your own a lot or someone has heard someone else calling it you and they think it's funny to join in.

It's bullying Jamesy. Playground mentality.

You really need to find different places/people to hang around...it doesn't seem like you are getting anything positive out of hanging out where you do.

Babybird knows what she’s talking about—I’d listen to her.

She’s very interesting, and “uses her loaf” a lot.

She’s learned lots of lessons in life. And she’s survived!

They won't do anything to hurt you physically.

In all reality they probably don't put too much thought into what they are saying to you and they won't care if it upsets you or not. They're just saying it because they think it's funny at the time.

Yep….that’s really the essence of it: they really don’t give two s**ts….

Did you approach them?



Well yes I only approached them firsr because I was a bit drunk. If I was sober I would havr stayed away from them.

What was your motive in approaching them? Why were you drawn to them?

Well when I have had a few beers I am drawn to people I would never dream of approaching when sober.

That's interesting. Typically people who are intoxicated are less restrained about things that are otherwise on their mind when sober. Hence my question, what did you want with those men?

So...

You have to understand how primal, and generally unintelligent most people are.

If they don't see you constantly chasing skirts - like it's the only reason to be alive - then they're assuming that you have some alternate sexuality. If they have little or no theory of life beyond chasing skirts and whatever your life experience is that's off of their particular set of cognitive comprehension maps, then they're going to try to reduce and 'thumbnail' whatever it is you actually are into something they can understand, ie. if you aren't out trying to actively bang women all day - in front of them, then you must be sexually 'into' something else.

What you're telling us is that you're not showing a feminine side enough for them to think you're gay, otherwise they probably would have gone for that first. OTOH if you don't seem gay but you also seem quiet and introverted - pedophile is a quick and easy thing to reach for where they can make a mental map of you that's at their intelligence level.

It's depressing stuff but this is really what I'm coming to understand, ie. that if you have any complexity in your life that they can't account for they'll need to 'make up' or 'fabricate' an explanation for your behavior that can be processed from their level of intelligence. None of it needs to be true, it just has to be a 'good enough' model to satisfy their level of interest and the model they choose, how it effects you, is of minimal importance to them. They don't think a lot, they watch a lot of TV, garbage-in garbage-out.
