"My Twisted World." The Manifesto of Elliot Rodger.

The above manifesto was made via a video by Elliot Rodger (22 years old) shortly before he proceeded on a wild rampage that left several people dead and injured, near the University of California, Santa Barbara on Saturday, May 24, 2014. He subsequently died from an alleged self-inflicted gun-shot.

But what was his problem? Hear him:

"I don't know why you girls are so repulsed by me," he says in the video, describing his loneliness and frustration at never having had sex with or even kissed a girl. "I am polite. I am the ultimate gentleman. And yet, you girls never give me a chance. I don't know why."

Of the men he sees as rivals, he said: "I deserve girls much more than all those slobs..." 

He concluded with a threat that after his rampage "...you will finally see that I am, in truth, the superior one, the true alpha male."

At the end of the rampage, several individuals were killed, thirteen were injured, eight from gunshot wounds and four from vehicle hits.

Why should this happen in the year 2014 of the 21^st Century? This is a time when men don’t really have to prove anything to impress a woman in terms of education, intellect and future prospects. It’s a time that most women only care about a guy’s physical attributes, money and other mundane stuff. So, how could Elliot have it so bad?

I have always believed that wooing a woman in my days was a huge task. There was no internet…no cellphone…no "texting" etc. Unlike the present day digital system, back then, everything was done by analogue. Hence, it was often too bad for guys who were too shy to transit easily from the letter/greeting-card-writing stage to the face-to-face level. It was very painstaking and I guess that’s why those of us baby-boomers have great relationships and marriages.

Nowadays, there is hardly any form of wooing. It’s called the fast, “instant coffee”, internet age. Things are rather simple now. A boy meets a girl online in the morning, "text" each other in the afternoon, go on a dinner (or movie) date in the evening and before the day is over, they are in bed. The bottom line is that their sex organs become quickly acquainted long before the two individuals ever get to know each other.

Most unfortunately, many young women are okay with this process. It’s not surprising therefore that chivalry is dead. Men rarely respect the women in their lives. And it’s no wonder that by the time a lot of women get into their middle twenties, they are already over-sexed, emotionally-depressed and desperate!
