Your opinion. Like certain body parts, everyone's got one.

BMI doesn't mean crap.

Looks really weren't his problem -- I've seen far uglier (physically) men with fairly attractive (and blonde) women.

His problem was his personality -- you could see that in his videos -- he was a nauseating individual, why would anyone want to be around him?

for a woman to have a hard time getting laid or getting dates, she has to be at or near the bottom 10% or so of all women.

for a man tho, he can be quite average, and still experience the same level of difficulty as the aforementioned women.

it is any wonder then that many more men are bitter, than women? there's simply more of them that go without dates (or go for long periods of time without dates) than women, involuntarily.

BMI is relevant in most cases. It's just not always accurate because of muscle mass and bone structure.

Which is why women have such a huge advantage in the dating game. It doesn't take much for a guy to be interested and to pursue a woman, but it takes a plethora of desirable male traits/assets for an even semi-attractive girl to even look in a guy's direction. Combine that with the culturally ingrained expectation that the male do the initiating, chasing, and courting, and what you have is a huge power imbalance tilted in the female's favor, which many women utilize to full advantage.
It's much easier for women to be and get away with being picky.

He should have just spent the $700 he blew on lottery tickets to win powerball/megamillions and just drove to NV and gotten a prostitute.

Yep everyone wants to blame the WOMEN.

Considering it's a MAN'S WORLD, this makes no sense.
