I just finished reading his 141 page manifesto… All I can say is damn! I have never read anything like it. It took me only 4 hours to finish it. Elliot was actually more normal than I thought.
He desperately wanted to be just another human being like the rest of us. He was one girl away from being just another white dude.
I blame his father, Peter and his friend, James for this happening. The mother did absolutely everything she could to turn her child into a man. A woman has no clue how to identify with a man’s problems.
The father is supposed to turn his son into a man. What a miserable failure as a father that man is. His friend, Peter, knew what Elliot was thinking. Elliot was extremely candid when he was talking with Peter.
Peter saw his friend transform into what he became. I know he isn’t shocked about what happened. Elliot was crying for help. If I was Peter, I would have told my parents to tell his parents.
The dad was a total dikk who thought that being a dad was just about being a provider. Elliot had no one to show him the way and how to think. That’s the father’s damn job.
As a dad, there is no way I would not have known what my son was thinking. I believe my son is my responsibility till death. I don’t care how old he gets. He is a reflection of me.
If he was my son, I would have had him spill his guts to me. I would have told him that all men are compelled by fear not confidence. I would have tried to get him to be honest with me.
Elliot had this misconception about men. He thought it was looks, arrogance, confidence and bravado that gave men the power to attain status and women. It’s actually fear.
All men are scared little boys inside. Fear is a good thing. It is what built civilization. Fear is the reason for all my failures and success stories. Fear is what motivates us all to succeed not confidence.
I fear not having friends more than I do being rejected by people that I want to be friends with. I fear being alone more than I fear rejection. I fear not trying more than I do trying and failing.
The fear inside propelled me to get an education, career, friends, and a wife. When I was a kid and went through puberty. I was so terrified of girls. I’m married and girls still make me uneasy.
I was more terrified of dwelling with a hard dikk, than the fear of rejection. Don’t get me wrong, both are terrifying, but nothing is more painful than the thought of NOT trying.
I would have told him how it’s up to men to pursue women. Women want you to pursue them. It’s a part of nature. You can’t change the rules of the universe.
I hate that guys act like they have never been rejected before. Men never talk about the girls who rejected us. We all have been rejected. It sucks. It’s extremely embarrassing and painful. Rejection is a part of life.
Elliot would think I was one of those guys that he hated. I would have told him life is about fear. It never goes away. I consider myself a healthy OK looking guy in good shape.
My wife thinks I’m fearless. She has no clue I’m stressed out 24/7. No amount of money will make the fear of life go away. We all live in fear. I wonder if hearing this would have helped him.
I can’t figure out why he didn’t try online dating? He could have picked out any blonde girl he wanted and kept trying till one gave him a shot.
There is not really much stress to online dating. He could’ve chatted with a girl online, and then tried to get a conversation on the phone going.
That way he would get a taste of engaging with a woman. If I and my wife ever get divorced, I’m doing the online dating thing. So much easier, I think. It takes some of the fear and awkwardness away.
What a messed up story. I feel bad for all the families involved.
