232. I dont really think women had much to do with his problems

I think he had some form of Aspergers or autism which caused him some social impairment. That social impairment was obviously causing him extreme psychological stress and that may have been leading to other mental problems.

Really....it isn't difficult to find a girlfriend. It isn't difficult to get laid. With the internet it's rather simple these days. Of course with his social impairment...he struggled with it greatly. People with aspergers or social anxiety disorders will have intense fears of social rejection or being judged or feel awkward or uncomfortable in social settings. 99.9% don't turn to violence like this. But if the disorder is causing stress or interfering with normal functions, it's a problem that requires treatment. And if it doesnt get treatment, it can lead to other forms of psychopathy.

And you are right that the common denominator in a lot of these type of shootings is the shooter is usually a young male who is isolated/rejected and many times bullied. They feel socially outcasted. And this has really existed in the public eye since Columbine. And practically nothing has been done to help people like this. Instead most of these debates devolve into gun control debates.

There is also the unfortunate epidemic lately of bullied kids killing themselves. Our society does have a problem here that it just doesnt seem like it wants to address.
