That's an interesting study. Certainly success or failure in youth with romantic relationships can impact someone for a lifetime. Like I metioned, one can be caught in a bad feedback loop of negativity and never learn how to break out.

I think you'd be surprised what other people find attractive. Sodini had internalized this very toxic idea that 30 million women had rejected him. That's profoundly low confidence and self-image. When in reality he looked like an average guy. I've seen a thousand suburban dads who look like him.
