Sexual desire seems to be a curse for men

[Rev. Rye]

The problem with Elliot is that there were no doubt women that wanted to have sex with him but he didn't want to have sex with them because he thought he was too good for them, he didn't even notice them. And I have no doubts that the case is the same with Moleco. There are probably women that want to have sex with him but he thinks that they are not attractive enough, and yet he whines about how he is sexually frustrated.

Well, Moleco welcome to the world of grownups. You can either swallow your stupid pride and have sex with women that you deem are not worthy of you, or shut the fuck up and be sexually frustrated.

And even that was part of a bigger problem for Elliot: despite whining about how women rejected him, that wasn't even the case. You can't be rejected by women if you don't put yourself out there. If his entire 141-page manifesto/autobiography is any indication, he only passed that hurdle once in his life. Here's how it went:

One time, as I was walking across the huge bridge that connected the two campuses, I passed by a girl I thought was pretty and said “Hi” as we neared each other. She kept on walking and didn’t even have the grace to respond to me. How dare she! That foul bitch. I felt so humiliated that I went to one of the school bathrooms, locked myself in a toilet stall, and cried for an hour.

Honestly, I wouldn't even be surprised if the reason she didn't respond was because his "Hi" was so soft she didn't even notice it.

I've heard he's somewhere on the autism spectrum

There's a surprising amount of ambiguity here; he allegedly took a clinical test for autism in 2007 and scored below the cutoff, but according to a Yahoo Answers question attributed to him, he was on SSI benefits for autism and I know from experience that getting SSI benefits for autism can be difficult even if you have a diagnosis on file. And despite having a difficulty in understanding people that seems typical on the spectrum, his obsession with being popular among his peers isn't, nor is how deftly he was able to defuse the worries of the cops who came to his apartment shortly before the Day of Retribution.

and while this isn't necessarily a problem in and of itself, actually overcoming that sort of anxiety requires help. He had several mental health professionals on file, and he even had a family friend try to help his confidence specifically with women. He refused their help because he was stuck in a state of learned helplessness he couldn't get out of.
