I can see that I am wasting my time here.

Looks like it's dartboards against wallmaps for mental midgets such as yourself. I was more than willing to engage in a discussion with the thought that people could be reached in the name of prevention. But, I see it's more important to engage in "oneupsmanship" on an internet forum instead of intellectual discussion.

I'll just go grab the popcorn.

You people can grab a dart.
Want to sound like you know what you're talking about? Use proper terminology. Otherwise the people who do know what they are talking about will just roll their collective eyes.

Yes WE PARTY IT UP ALL RIGHT!
And I thought I had issues.

I think Elliot Rodger just gave other angry, lonely men a blueprint to follow (borrowed from the ages-too-high-for-many-to-care Sodini case). Ignore the problem, and more lives will go away.
But what do you propose to be done? Have society lean on young women to start giving it up to weird freaks that they want nothing to do with? It's not their fault that none of them would **** this guy. He was a completely defective human being and there's no finger to be pointed in the direction of teenage girls/young women for that. There seems to be a drive to blame everyone but the culprit in cases like this, but why shouldn't we? It used to be that some people were just dicks. I would have felt sorry for him if it was only himself that he killed, but he took out his bitterness on random strangers, so **** him.

In these random shooting sprees it seems to be always an issue with mental health / personality disorders and society is not to be blamed for people having medical conditions like aspergers. I think in a country of 300 million people that you're just gonna get this sort of person coming along every now and then. Maybe parents should be watching their unstable kids a bit closer but in terms of new laws or cultural shifts, I don't see what could realistically be done about this sort of thing.

Hypergamy should be reigned in, yes. People act like this is some kind of outlandish, beyond-the-pale concept when it was taken for granted just a couple of generations ago.

This is not a research study. This is on messaging and looks not women's perceptions of men's looks. Try finding something to back up what you said. Or don't and we will just remember to not to believe what you say.

And it is not holding one's hand to provide the links to back up what you say. You either support what you say or expect people to not take it or you seriously.

Typical. Presented with evidence, but it's not accurate. I'm sure if presented with someone peer reviewed, you would just say it's biased. The women here love to claim articles aren't accurate when it proves them wrong.

Now you're just being childish. The ratings statistics for one of the largest online dating websites in the world are perfectly relevant. And infinitely more than you can provide in response other than the usual loquacious anecdotes.

No they aren't. This is a very specific subset of the population not a cross section.
