<p>^ There are too many people who exalt or base all their self-esteem on the attention they get from attractive women. It’s ridiculous. The moral is to not get obsessed over stuff like this, at least not to the point where you go mad or look like a loser. I’m surprised there isn’t more stuff like happening in the world.</p>
<p>Posts in this thread remembered me of discussion about colleges that are increasingly sending students away and/or forcing them do take leaves when they seek Health Service with complains about depression and suicidal profile.</p>
<p>As college environment has very particular and special social dinamics, the risks of Virginia Tech-like events only increase. Social fitness, acceptance and bound play a bigger role in residential college communities than usual. You don’t have to be “mainstream” (in the HS sense), indeed you can be pretty different, exquisite and even weird, but if you don’t find youw crawl, college can be very difficult to cope with.</p>

<p>Cite? Would love to know how they’re not getting sued and pwned for HIPAA violations…</p>

<p>Thai’s what’s wrong with this country?</p>
<p>A random man goes on a killing spree and this relates to CC? I need that connection explained.</p>
<p>^ op sees similarities between the killer and some cc posters, particularly the ones that post in the college life forum.</p>
<p>i still don’t understand how people can pity him. a sad tortured life? i doubt it. it’s funny how the media immediately says he’s a man who needed to be medicated, but when a medicated man does this they blame it on the fact that he was on drugs.</p>
<p>shouldn’t this be a cautionary tale to girls?</p>
<p>dont reject guys all the time and maybe stuff like this wont happen.</p>
<p>Attack, how do know his life wasn’t terrible? Were you there to witness every point of his life? While he used a disgusting outlet for his anger that makes me lose pity for him too, the guy seemed lonely, bitter, and obviously had severe mental issues. Material possessions and okay looks could never buy him what he seemed to want the most: power and attention from women. If he came off as creepy or his delivery was bad, no amount of money would make a girl interested in him, unless they were desperate or a golddigger. </p>
<p>I’d rather have an average income and love life than be rich and angry at the world.</p>
<p>I didn’t say I pitied him, I just wouldn’t want to be him, even before he killed people.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think this is the solution! +1</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>@ Attack, I don’t condone what he’s done. But realize that there definately should be a great amount of suffering associated with not being able to attract the opposite sex. Our whole evolutionary programming is geared toward getting the best mate possible and to not even get one mate is to not feel human. You can have all the money in the world and none of that would matter if you’re alone.</p>
<p>What he should have done is to seek counseling to mollify his pain and improve his personality and “game”.</p>

<p>Keep dreaming, guys :)</p>
<p>Don’t reject guys or I’ll be murdered. I’ll try to remember that.
Though I think “don’t date guys who are murders” is probably a better sentiment.</p>
<p>How early can I ask if he kills people for fun? First date may be a bit soon, but I’m sure by the second date it should come out ;)</p>
<p>I’d ask immediately. “So you’re a cool guy…you don’t have any heads in your freezer, right?”</p>
<p>People seriously don’t get it? Girls fart and **** like everyone else, yes even the pretty ones. Instead of pouring your emotions into women, get a hobby or pursue something else that you care about. Women like men who have a life outside of them. That’s where the “nice guy” fails.</p>
<p>If a lack of attention from women bothers you so much, get professional help.</p>
<p>TA hit the nail on the head. Girls like ‘nice guys’ but a lot of the dudes who whine that they get rejected by girls who say they’re too nice are wrong. They’re just BORING. Get a hobby, play a sport, play the damn guitar or anything, just be good at it and show you have a life outside of dating. The same problem arises with dorks who worship their girlfriends over all else and then are confused when it’s not a bona fide seducion technique.</p>
<p>Bottom line; girls like guys who have their own lives. Not just because it makes them more interesting but you want someone to HAVE other options available but they choose to spend time with you instead (sometimes, not all the time obviously). It’s a value thing. ‘Spend time with my girlfriend or go design rockets for NASA?’ vs ‘Spend time with my girlfriend or sit in my basement fapping all day’. One is clearly a harder decision.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>that’s def. not a problem of mine <em>flexes oiled bicep muscle</em> <em>women come flocking over to my computer desk</em></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Is there any correlation between “Basement-Dweller Type” and “Stereotypical Killer?”</p>
<p>Most of the poeple who fit the Basement-Dweller stereotype are the most harmless people I have ever met. They stay in the basement all day and play games on the computer; and watch television. Thye have no intention of harming other people. But of course exceptions are exceptions- But I would wager money that most of the geeky basement dweller guys have no intention of killing other people.</p>
<p>On the topic- The guy was angry because of his failed relationships with women.</p>
<p>…and here we go with the morons saying that guns need to be banned.</p>
