26. He was a 22 year old at a community college

that kept dropping his courses. UCSB is part of one of the best university systems in the nation. I am not entirely sure how smart he really was. I got to think that aspiring to date sorority women at UCSB would be considered a huge step up for a community college student.

He would have probably been better off pursuing the science fiction fandom angle with young women interested in The Hunger Games. Of course they are a smart discerning bunch that could probably see his shallowness and, more importantly, his crazinous quickly.

I just pray my daughters never get into the crosshairs of a lunatic such as this.

I am 5' 5", got turned down for dates (not sorority types but girls/women I was interested in because of their intellect), and a virgin on my wedding night when I was 23. I have been happily married for over 25 years with two wonderful daughters who I love with all the world. Being short is no excuse for anything.
