Usually, good looking actors with great sex appeal that played the roles of seducers in their youth end up playing grand parents and more complex parts when they've aged. An exception to this rule is Sean Connery who was said to be "80 years old and still a stud". Seems like he's not the only actor that managed to maintain a seducer's image.</p> It interesting to watch an actor's evolution through time.

On some social networking sites that I've been, yes there are people like that. On my personal opinion, I think this new law is good. There are females who are scared or do not want to sign in to social communities because of this reason. For me, I totally agree with this banning them.</p> In an Illinois Social Site where I am always, I've never encounter a person like “Sex Predators”.
