That's what I can't get over! People saying things like, "if someone had just noticed him and given him the affection he craved, maybe this could have been avoided." Um, no. What do we think would have happened to any poor girl who went out with him the first time she dared say "no"?

Because something a 10-year old girl said (12 years ago) does not excuse the actions of a 22-year old man? Maybe?

But does that absolve him of personal responsibility? Some internet people said he deserved a hot girl, so how could he be expected to deduce otherwise? To reiterate: no one "deserves" any kind of girl. Why is that difficult to understand? Thinking that he deserved something is not a justification. Being told he…

So because she chose to live her life in a way that didn't involve dating or having sex with him, she is to blame? Here's a secret: it doesn't matter what this girl is doing with her life, because she doesn't have to justify herself to you or anyone else. She wasn't attracted to him, and she was under no obligation to…

And with that response, I am certain you are unhinged. I don't disagree that high school culture is fucked up, but not in the way you're trying to posit. There will always be "popular" and "unpopular," but that isn't the point — the point is that this kid assumed that because hot girls and popularity existed, that he…

Poor little rich boy! Is this going to be another case of affluenza? He didn't know what he was doing! All of his other friends were having sex, so he just assumed that he deserved some, too! Maybe if those girls hadn't been so stuck up and had just thrown him a bone, he wouldn't have decided to kill people, right?…

I think this speaks to an important point, but it isn't that this kid isn't responsible for his actions. We need to change the culture of entitlement that teaches young men that they are owed sex or a girlfriend just by virtue of being male. He felt he deserved to have women offering him sex, and when that didn't…

You know, I feel pretty comfortable placing 100% of the blame for this tragedy on the guy who viewed women as sub-human beings who needed to be "punished."

You'd assume that a virulent homophobe is a Democrat? That's...statistically unlikely. Tea Party or Libertarian is usually my guess

Is she underrated? I liked her first album, but I feel like I have not been able to escape from her music in the past couple of years — she dated/did a song with Skrillex, her stuff is in tons of movies/trailers, she's pretty ubiquitous (or maybe she just has such a recognizable voice that every time I hear it I know…

I'd say 6 toes is a little bit different (and more genetically possible in reality) than horns, wouldn't you?

Don't engage with that Rhayn clown — he once told a rape victim in a reply that because she was traumatized and wasn't able to press charges that she would be morally responsible if her rapist raped again (his analogy was "giving a knife to someone you know is going to stab somebody," which was GREAT)

I'm glad you're treated with respect, because that has not been my experience, at least at my most recent salaried job. Basically, they put us on salary so they could bully us into working 70 hour weeks with no hope of overtime :-\

Open plan offices are the worst thing to ever happen. I do ads/digital marketing, and because I work in an open office there's nowhere for me to discuss notes we need to give the designer (without the designer hearing me/getting offended that I don't think her work is perfect). It means the CEO is eavesdropping on…

I have a job that expects you there at 9 (ALWAYS), but also expects you to stay "as long as it takes" for something to be done. Boss didn't come in til 4:30 and nothing got approved? Sounds like you're staying til 9 pm!

oh my god, I have the final exam dream once every couple of months or so. Truly terrifying.

So the truly humble-braggy reasons the "Alpha woman" is undateable remind me of two things:

Your friend is looking for a HOMEOWNER under the age of 25? I agree with you — it sounds like he's created impossibly high standards for a reason...

This is true — I guess because they think about vaginas so much, they assume we're just always daydreaming about new and different ways to bedevil their dicks.

Oh my god, I am just loving all of your responses today. Why are dudes always assuming we're trying to police their wangs?
