They will go to great lengths to obtain information about their victims or to find victims who have secretly moved.

[2.0] Victims, Survivors and Targets(the fun part)
Most stalkers look for what they consider to be a unique, one in a kind individual, a diamond in the rough. Being said, this makes their target invaluable. Men and women are stalked equally, at 49-51% percent, women at 51%. Women however stalk other women more than men. While men almost exclusively stalk women.
- 14% of targets say they were tracked via GPS(that percentage is higher, this is just the victims that found out)
- 10% of people are stalked by complete strangers.
- 11% of victims report being stalked over 5 years
Having a stalker in your life can be destructive. About a third of victims don't think they'll ever see an end to stalking while 46% testify to living in a state of fear. Some feed off that to be honest.
- 1-8 lose time at work because of their stalker
- 1 in 7 relocate because of stalking
It all depends on what stalker you have at the end of it all. I did things behind the scene for my target,things in her life seemed to come together not knowing it was me pulling the strings. I didn't want to put her through the victimization process. If you have some of the meaner types, anguish in their targets is the goal.
[2.1] Violence Against Victims
Stalker's are unanimously across the board are all violent or have to capacity to be. Intimacy seekers rank among the most dangerous, predatory ties them. Stalking is often the first step in the process that leads up to the murder of women. 89% of femicide cases involve some form of stalking or aggression on the attackers behalf.
[3.0] Stalking and Legal Ramifications
Mostly, stalking is a misdemeanor charge, while some states(roughly a fourth) charge it as a felony. Most stalker don't see the legal system as a barrier between them and the target. Just another obstacle to hurdle over, in my Stalking experience I just found more covert or deniable way of going about things. My stalking may have been more indirect, but I still had no problem getting the information I needed.
[4.0] Systematic's Stalking Tips & Advice
I've spent some good time observing and here are some basic tips to get the most out of a stalk.
- Scan from right to left. Your used to reading left to right, you subconsciously skip over certain things this way. Looking from right to left allows you to scan better and search for anomalies in crowds or forests far more efficiently go ahead and try scanning from left to right as if you were reading, now try right to left. Notice how it's slower?
- Never use fucking binoculars, seriously nothing makes you look like a creep more than a pair of bino's. Range finders are acceptable.
- Keep your information coming, establish ties and relationships around your target. I was friends with everyone of her friends, I didn't need to watch her to find out something. I could just ask one of my new "friends" in a non-direct way. If anything serious such as a car accident or harm happened I'd be alerted immediately by more than one source for validity.
- When stalking in person don't dress to impress and blend in with the crowd.
- Never keep hard copies of sensitive information about your stalking. Pictures, logs, or schedules it just increases the risk of you being outed. If you really want to take this person, you should have the capacity to remember such things.
[4.1] Counter-Stalking & Getting Rid of Stalkers
If you believe your being stalked, the first step is to document or make note of the individuals behavior. Find out where your information is leaking out and seal it. You can't begin to perform countermeasures if the stalker can see it coming. Secondly, stalkers aren't exactly social people and a public outing is a death sentence for any potential stalker that values his personal life. With the notes you've taken, share it with mutual friends and family. This will reveal what stalker your dealing with, any type besides predatory and intimate stalkers would be discouraged to continue monitoring you.
If you find yourself with one of the two I listed above you need to find out exactly why this person wants you. What separates you from the rest. Ask them, they'll be more than happy to reveal that information. It's a varied process from here and changes drastically between different scenarios. Use that data and exploit it to either rehabilitate the stalker or run your chances at ruining them again(really risky, not recommended).
Me personally I've dealt with two stalkers who tried latching onto my target, I had no time for games. I just confronted them directly and found a bullshit reason to fight them in public. They couldn't go back to her with their tail in between their legs, she no longer saw them as a dating candidates but more of a pity case.
