Not all men are stalkers. Not even most men. But the minority of male malefactors looms large for all women because they are SO persistent and are often REPEAT OFFENDERS. This fact was made startlingly clear to me through the research of Geoffrey Miller, who is a professor specializing in the evolutionary psychology of mating behaviors. The fraction of the male population who stalk and harm women is overrepresented in terms of their interactions with women. ALL women. So even though most men don't do this stuff, the men who do seem to comprise a huge percentage of the male population from women's point of view because they pop up often and everywhere in women's lives.</p>

Also, if you can remember being madly in love with someone, perhaps in your late teenage years or early 20s, it is highly irrational. You think that you own this person ('they are MINE!'). Very obsessive in nature. It is fated if only she would understand that. Well, I am not going to write a book about this, but let's keep in mind that these men are small minorities of all men, so I plead with women not to look at every man and assume that given certain circumstances he could be this stalker or rapist or controller.</div></div><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'comic sans ms',sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0);display:inline">Yes, they are out there and be careful of men who tend to be glib and charming and extroverted.

It affects 50% of the population and I'm sure you know quite a few women who have been stalked. In fact, almost every adult woman by a certain age has been, whether for short times as they are followed through the streets or buildings, or for longer times, via communication and technology. Read the comments on the second article. You will find women in every walk of life commenting on how they were stalked while traveling for business, like Andrews. Or just by living every day, surrounded by men without empathy or boundaries. There are more of them than people think.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div>PJ</div></div></div></div>
