He never learned that his inability to attract women rested squarely on his own shoulders. He thought he knew what would attract women (i.e. being a "nice guy"
and when that turned out to be wrong, he blamed everybody but himself. He blamed attractive women, he blamed the men who were sleeping with attractive women.
Who can blame women for not being attracted to such a sniveling, desperate chump. The sad irony is that if he had concentrated less on women, and more on just living his life and making something of himself, (also making use of the enormous privilege he was born into) the women might have come around. (provided he lost that thirsty creeper vibe)
A masculine role model in his life would have been huge. It would have helped him deal with rejection and have a better understanding of the realities of typical male-female interaction.
This incident did not just fall out of the sky. There is a history here, this kid's past will be full of rejection and marginalization, along with a total lack of ability to deal with those things, in a vicious spiral.
It's quite the opposite of blaming women. What this kid never realized that it was all on him. What a huge sense of entitlement he had, feeling like he deserved women's affections, but putting in zero effort to be attractive to them, then exploding because he had zero coping skills.
On a side note. It's always strange to me when there is a grandiose sense of self worth, and also a deep self loathing, all in the same individual. I guess it's no surprise that some such people snap.
