The concept of “predator” necessarily implies that the relationship is not voluntary. No one volunteers to be the prey of a predator. The antelope does not volunteer to be eaten by the lion. Children are seen as the prey of pedophiles only because they are presumed to lack agency. Moral romantic relationships involve courtship, which requires presenting yourself for acceptance to a possible partner, not hunting someone as prey.
