How about some actual data? More female virgins than male in the 15-24 age group, and virginity on the rise for both.

Sex Stats: Virgins On the Rise | LiveScience

Quote:
More and more young people are abstaining. No less than 27 percent of 15- to 24-year-old men have never had any form of sexual contact (oral, vaginal, or anal) with another person, up from 22 percent in 2002. Meanwhile, 29 percent of females in that age bracket have never had sex, also up from 22 percent at the time of the last study.
This is what I mean about damaging messages men in the echo chamber share with each other--based on lies.

Even the most criminally insane deserve sympathy, I agree. Judging others is whats wrong with this society. How can I condemn others, when I haven't lived their life. I think they should pay for their crimes but it's not up to me.

You can sympathize without justifying their actions. Everyone judges, everyone.

I used to have social phobia, and it was hell. I was excrutiatingly, painfully, shy. With time, some counselling, and some temporary help with medication, I gradually finally surmounted it---and it was a different world out there. I started by going to a gym pretty well every evening, because at least you're doing something and the focus is not really on meeting people, and gradually did meet people.
Yes, this is true. The problem is for people to actually get the courage to do it. And furthermore, even when shy people do activities like this, many still often have a very hard time actually talking to and getting to know anybody there.

Fear of judgement is a paralyzing fear.

Im over a decade older then him and in the same position with women and that thought of hurting other people becasue of it never would cross my mind..

Does it suck not being able to attract women and finding it nearly impossible to connect with them on that level sure it crushes me actually but to want to kill people because of it is mind boggling to me and something i cant fathom..

Also the mental illness thing is tricky..sure hes obviously ****ed up in the head but i also beleive blaming mental illness is an excuse for what the did almost..theyres penty of people with mental illneses who dont go on killing sprees..

What i think played a part more then mental illness was ENTITLEMENT this kid was rich and had everyhting handed to him and when women werent falling at his feet like everyhting else in life did he couldnt handle it and lashed out..

Reading some of his diary this guy snapped at women being with blacks hispanics "trashy guys" all people he thought he was somehow above..

Just reading his thoughts and seeing his videos on youtube its clear as day why he coldnt attract women or any friends in general he came off as just a unlikeable intolerable disconnected narcisistic sociopathic human being..
