(32,886 posts)Taken as an acting exercise, I'm pretty sure just about any of us could come up with a toxic personality that would send anyone who comes within earshot running in the opposite direction. Being angry and mean all the time is probably enough but we could add things like creepy and needy to it.
Now imagine that worst kind of toxic personality was this guy's real personality. On top of that, from his manifesto, he seemed to only want the hot blonde girls/women around and expected them, i.e. women who can probably be with anyone they want to be with, to fall to the ground at his feet and worship him with a personality like that. The chances of one of them wanting to make the effort to see if there was a human being under all of that toxic mess is pretty low and can you blame them? Who would want to do that?
I think someone with a horrific physical deformity and a nice personality would have it considerably easier.
