I'm sure there is some form of a mental illness, but I also think he was WAAY over his head with thinking that he is truly a phenomenal man.
I agree with this, the focus on mental illness seems somewhat misguided to me in this case (though very common when the perpetrator of a crime is white).
The things he believed in and talked about cause violence (mainly against women) on a daily basis, luckily not usually in such an extreme fashion. It's a fundamental sense of entitlement that needs to go away.
The philosophy he believed in is, imo, just as much a contributing factor if not even more, than any mental illness he may have had.

This can't be life. This kid, jesus. Watch the video, so sad and funny at the same time.
What a f*cking pathetic ****. Killed 6 people because he couldn't get laid.
He's not deformed, he's rich, and he lives in California. How is it even possible to not get any play? He could have at least hired a call girl. Pathetic.
So many people jump to the 'mental illness or mentally unstable' conclusion just because they truly don't understand the situation.
And as far as the other poster, I agree with some of that, and basically said the same thing when it came to him killing just because he couldn't get laid. But, I am sure there is probably a bit more behind it.
As far as looks go, he wasn't unattractive. In fact he was rather good looking, but the ego, and his awkwardness sort of sent him into the 'no-zone'. But something tells me this guy didn't approach women, he just waited for them to approach him, and when it did not work, he assumed it was all of their faults.

Holy hell.
I don't know whether to laugh or cringe when I watched that video.
Can't blame him though. There are things in life we will never understand.
Like how fat, smelly, old men with no money can get really hot young babes.
I mean, I've seen old fugly dudes waaaaayyyy worse than this Elliot guy hanging out with really pretty girls. And its the girls who buys stuff for the guys. Really weird, but I guess that's how society works these days.

Maybe they are genuinely nice to them, or they are very funny, or they have a lot in common, or they share certain beliefs. Like, again, Elliot Rodger is the kind of guy who kills people...a fat, smelly, old guy beats that 10 times out of 10.
