Are all heterosexual men inherently pedophiles?
A social trend among heterosexual men's preferences in the Western World seems to be to have a relationship with a woman who is hairless and young. Is this coincidence, or is it that in the terms of evolution, a younger and more child-like mate whom a man can take control of is a greater preference?

I've heard that like 70% of white males are, but I don't think that sounds very accurate. There ARE many more sex crimes against minors committed by white males, though, even in places where there is a black majority. Gross, I guess that means we shouldn't date white men!

No, because childlike should never be equated to being an actual child. Most adult men prefer a person of their same intellectual ability. Pedophilia is not a common part of being a man or a woman. Yes men often prefer younger women but not youth, just a couple of years. In terms of evolution choosing a young woman would not be a good choice because she would be weaker,less experienced, knowledgeable and intelligent. It does not make much sense and I do not find your theory to be true. Logically it is not possible for an adult to have a positive sexual relationship with a child. Most adults understand this and do not desire children. Hairless? Well, that's just a preference and while it does indicate youth it does not nessecarily imply pedophilia.

...no. Most of us prefer the look of young women, just like most women prefer the look of a young man. But as we grow (unless they really are a pedophile), then our tastes move to people in our age group. At the same time, we never lose our attraction to the younger looking, because that is decidedly when all people have a maximum sex appeal, but that is more of an across the board being human thing. As for hairless? That has nothing to do with young, so much as it does the person's preference; I know women who like hairless men...don't get me wrong, western society has a lot of pedophiles, especially nowadays, when young girls want to act like they're grown, but make no mistake, not all of us are like that, and as far as I'm concerned preying on young girls is disgusting.

Youth and signs of fertility are what attracts men to women or what makes women sexually attractive to them. Being hairless and young is a sign of youth of course, thus what makes them sexually attractive to them. But it wouldn't be beneficial or it wouldn't ensure the male's fitness if he were to mate with a child who cannot breed. Men look for women who show signs of youth, because women tend to peak earlier than men do. Women peak at around 20 while men's reproductive success peaks at around 35 or 45. Heterosexual males are not inherently pedophiles, things like large hips and breasts are things younger children don't have but that men are attracted to, these things do indicate that the female can bear children and that they can reproduce successfully.
Men in the western world generally prefer women who are both youthful and show signs of reproductive maturity: Hairless, smooth skin; developed breasts, and hips.

Lots of men like younger women. That's not to say they are paedophiles.
And, if your going to talk evolution, its always, always been in the nature of man to find a younger women, because a younger women is more likely to be able to have a healthy pregnancy.
Add: As for hairless, just because a man prefers a woman who keeps herself clean south of the border (shaving, waxing) doesnt mean he is a peadophile either. Alot of older women shave
