The first time Elliot Rodger hit on a girl, she gave him a mighty harsh shit test, and he completely fell apart.
From the fact that that his first shit test was the only one he complained about, I deduce he never exposed himself to the danger of a second one, that he was scarred for life, and never again made any real attempt to hit on a girl, and was forever puzzled that he could go around driving a nice car and being creepy and upset from a safe distance, and yet girls would not hit on him.
When a girl gives you a shit test, it is often mighty harsh, because natural selection intends it to separate the men from the boys, so of course it is tough. Â If she does not give you a shit test, not really interested.
It is horrible that girls give out shit tests, but they cannot help shit testing males, any more than males can help looking at girl’s boobs.
It seems that Rodger’s dad was too busy to do much fathering, but if he had done some fathering, here is what he should have told his son:
Petruchio:
Why came I hither but to that intent?
Think you a little din can daunt mine ears?
Have I not in my time heard lions roar?
Have I not heard the sea, puff’d up with winds,
Rage like an angry boar chafed with sweat?
Have I not heard great ordnance in the field,
And heaven’s artillery thunder in the skies?
Have I not in a pitched battle heard
Loud ‘larums, neighing steeds, and trumpets’ clang?
And do you tell me of a woman’s tongue,
That gives not half so great a blow to hear
As will a chestnut in a farmer’s fire?
Tush! tush! fear boys with bugs.
Grumio:
For he fears none.

“It seems that Rodger’s dad was too busy to do much fathering, but if he had done some fathering, here is what he should have told his son”
“La illaha ill-Allah, Muhammadun rasool Allah” would have sufficed. Problem solved – no more shit tests from girls in his new ingroup.
Amen to that.
My guess, and that’s all it is, is that the problem wasn’t just that he was traumatized by a rejection (although he was), but that Rodger didn’t really understand that man and woman play different roles in courtship: man pursues, and woman selects. Yes, the system sucks for shy guys, but what sucks even worse is to feel rejected by every woman you see because none of them approach you. Expecting women to approach men is like expecting rain in Death Valley. The best you can hope for is some kind of coy, deniable signal that she wants you to approach.
The party line is that gender roles are a barbaric relic and that man and woman are interchangeable. Most people come to understand quickly that that’s just a pious lie you mouth, and not the way you expect romance to proceed. Rodgers was a loner with zero close friends by the end; maybe he never observed enough male-female interactions to figure this out, and nobody ever gave it to him strait. From his videos, it’s clear that he felt women’s failure to approach him as a stinging rejection.
If you’re a regular guy, you should not “have videos.” You probably shoud have almost no online presense at all since the first thing a girl is going to do is Google your name to look for deal-breakers.

Yeah, that’s a common problem for TONS of young guys: the projection problem, i.e. assuming that girls want what we want and act like we do. I am a reasonably handsome man with a nice voice, or so I’ve been told, but for a long time in my youth I thought I was ugly because girls didn’t approach me.
There are no shit tests. You might as well claim Rodger removed inferior women from the world and improved the race. And inferior men, too. After all, he did remove three geeky Asians from the world. You know – NOWAG. “No one wants Asian guys.”
Evo-Psych is a joke and not a real science.
I’m not sure you know what a shit test is.
Note how the Left is all over this because he posted on “hate sites”. We’re going to see a big push to criminalise dissent on the internet in the near future, combined with “racist”, “sexist” and “homophobic” being repurposed to mean anti-immigration, anti-feminist and anti-gay-lobby (the cultural work is done, now it’s just a matter of legal reform). The internet has been a huge source of dissent against the Leftist program so it obviously needs to be brought under control, and if there’s one thing you can now guarantee about anyone who flips out and kills a bunch of people, it’s that they probably posted angry rants online, so there’ll be plenty of new events to milk. (This is actually a good reason for the Left to not pursue gun control.)
At the risk of going completely off the conspiracy deep-end, I will say that I am hesitant to accept anybody’s interpretation of this boy’s psyche because there is something very fishy about all of these killers with manifestos that magically pop up on the internet after the fact. The hollywood connection and the videos make this even a bit weirder. I don’t know what I am implying, other than I’m not sure this is a case of ‘kid couldn’t get laid so he goes on a rampage’.
This.
I’m thinking back to Ted Bundy, who went on tour claiming he killed because of exposure to pornography. Yeah, right.
Be honest now. How many readers of “Jim’s Blog” aren’t working on their own ‘manifesto’ on a regular basis?
touche.
