Many men(particularly young guys)base most of if not all their feelings of self worth in how women respond romantically to them.

This guy was well off and it still didnt matter in his eyes because he had no success with females

I hate articles like that, they make it sound like every virgin out there is some kind of covert killer when that's not the case.

Bringing the topic back to the OP, I'm glad zenthropa started the thread. I'm going to be thoroughly honest I stopped posting in the relationship section after repeatedly reading from people who were lamenting they couldn't get a girlfriend. I stopped posting when someone pointed out in another thread, I can't remember what it is, they get no support and only anger from people on this forum. I didn't respond to that thread but I remember thinking that, that was probably accurate and I was guilty of it. So, I stopped responding.

I'm going to be thoroughly honest again. I was tempted for a while to start a thread about how on this forum and others whether guys who can't get dates will end up acting out in some way. My suspicion has kind of always been that these people are a little bit mentally unbalanced. I'm not referring to the regular person who has trouble getting a date, but instead to the person who kind of lives an online lifestyle which includes lamenting about not being able to get a date.

All, I'm trying to write is that I hope when we read these threads in the future we are just a little bit more compassionate or if we are not feeling compassionate that day don't respond.

I agree...men aren't the only ones condemned for being an older virgin.

I never really understood why people put so much emphasis on having sex by certain age. It's not right. No one should ever have to live their life according to someone else's. That is completely selfish and wrong. This society and it's media preys on the insecure. It's sad.

That's because in reality they are insecure in their own lives.

I don't get it either and stopped trying to awhile ago. I figure people are more into dating walking STDs with tons of baggage then a virgin with little to no experience, they think it means something 'significant' about that person. I regularly some ridiculous crap about older virgins (which I am one) and it makes me wonder if people actually know one or they go off these type of articles about some wayward societal killer spree.

True -- and there are just as many lonely women who wish some guy would love them and don't know why they aren't getting asked out.

This guy was a psychopath. He wasn't looking for real love, he wanted girls to put out for him, he saw them as nothing more than objects -- objects when they didn't give him sex and objects when he gunned them down.

This guy was apparently diagnosed -- with aspergers autim -- just like Adam Lanza was. It doesn't seem to be an issue of lack of access -- he was another rich kid, given everything money could buy.

I think he was clearly a psychopath-sociopath who viewed people as nothing but objects and killing them was a control thing.

There isn't much that psychiatrists can do for true psychopaths.
