Yes, the most important lesson we can learn here is how important it is to shame the "losers." After all, the fact that they're bitter about being cut out from life's rewards is proof that they deserved to be cut out from life's rewards.

i'd view someone like that as highly suspect and weird, precisely the type of lunatic who'd go on a shooting rampage.
Not true at all.

I suspect this kid would have carried out a heinous act anyway, regardless of the source of his anger. If not lack of sex, something else would have triggered his mental instability at some point.
I agree, there are far more people who are sex addicts or some other deviant that perpetrate crimes because of sex. A lot of serial killers are married family men, with seemingly normal lives. You don't see to many celibate monks going out on shooting sprees.

He wasn't cut out of the gene pool. He perceived himself to be at the young age of 22.

Elliott Rodger's Manifesto: Scribd

After reading Elliott Rodger's manifesto about being a hopeless virgin who could only have his "blonde & beautiful" girlfriend if he had accumulated millions of dollars of wealth by winning the lottery, it made me think. Is there a certain type of man which can not mix well or have a relationship with a women?

I have a question to all of the males of this board:

Have any of you ever felt like Elliott Rodger, in the terms of hopelessness of finding a girlfriend?

Also two general questions to all members of the board:

What mistakes did Elliott Rodger make in trying to find a girlfriend (other than shooting up a school)?
Why do you think he was unable to make a female relation, or a girlfriend?

In the state of nature, sex = reproduction. So, having all the prime age women screwed by the knuckle dragging frat thug brigade is indeed exclusion from the gene pool as far as the psyches of everyone involved are concerned.

How do you know that? Women's magazines are full of articles about how to get a man, how to get a date--- it looks like lots of women have trouble with that.

Not correct. It is perceived as exclusion from the gene pool by those who need instant gratification and for those so-called "nice guys" who refuse to consider the "nice girls".
