Our state is filled with these types with no life of their own. Why a senior citizen would be of interest to them tells me their life must really suck. .
It suggests to me you must have magnetic qualities about you. Some people do just have magnetic personalities. Something about them just draws in others.
My wife is a magnet for young children. She can't stand most young children, but they just love her and always want to come interact with her. She's also been told by many adults (male and female) that she has a very alluring voice. When she worked tech support, people would call up and ask for her just so they could hear her talk.. Kind of strange.. But it happened often..
