I understand his frustration and loneliness- but his looks and money don't match the typical spree gunman (e.g. Adam Lanza, who was a much sicker f*ck though his family was also rich)
Elliot Rodger was a handsome, rich guy, I don't get it
-
Rich men spend more time around rich white women that think everybody wants them. All Rodger had to do to get laid was to be more open about the kind of women he might be with. For all his s**t about what a gentleman he is, I'd bet good money he had a "no fatties" rule and would never date a black woman.
But I suspect his father set a standard for the kind of women that were datable, and it was a high standard. The little s**t figured he was entitled to an attractive woman like his daddy had. "Dear interchangeable bedpost notch, want some terrible virgin sex? I'm entitled to sleep with you because I'm rich."

Whenever Richard Cory went downtown,
We people on the pavement looked at him:
He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
Clean-favored, and imperially slim.And he was always quietly arrayed,
And he was always human when he talked;
But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
"Good-morning," and he glittered when he walked.And he was rich – yes, richer than a king –
And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine, we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.So on we worked, and waited for the light,
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head.

don't underestimate what social isolation and an inability to connect with other people can do to an already unstable mind. there are many people like elliot out there. it's just that most of them end up turning the gun on themselves instead of other people.

first, this guy was not that good looking. maybe to you unkempt PhD dorks this guy is like a male model, but I would say he is objectively 6.5-7 on a scale of 10. he has a weird personality, poor social skills, and a weird demeanor and this doesn't attract women. this guy is not good looking enough for women to approach him, which doesn't even happen in real life no matter how attractive you are- women may overtly show that they are attracted to someone, but they will not actually go up to someone and introduce themselves like a guy would do. and he does not seem to be rich; owning a BMW is nothing, especially living in southern california. this guy would have been better off if he just settled for asian girls

i think the level of economic power in USA is big, so, only money would not let elliot to get women. i live in brazil, and here is more easy to rich guys get woman, but in USA, there is a lot of rich people, rich white and jew guys that are the alphas, so elliot only could have a change with asian woman, but he hated half of himself
i'm white brazilian, but mental patient without job, so i just got some black woman, i never had a chance with white woman.
