[QUOTE="Mkavanaugh77"]This is just my guess. These guys committing these horrific killings have suffered from bullying, social awkwardness, social anxiety, loneliness, depression, suicidal thoughts . anger etc.. For the most part I think that these guys feel like a outsider with noone talk to or become friends with. I think they become angry /lonely and desperated for attention that they resort to committing these horrible crimes so that they get the attention they desperately seek. Their so focused on making others pay attention to them that they will do anything to make that happen, which usually involves going on a killing spree of innocent kids and adults. Thats my quick thoughts right now anyway, its a issue that needs to be studied alot though.

how come to mainlly men and hardly females though?

Some have mental illness... some are sadistic and suicidal.  They have a dark fantasy to go out in a blaze of anti-hero glory.  Most are on the fringe of society and obsess over previous shootings and death.  It's a rare circle to be a mass shooter/serial killer and they choose to join that list of names Judas on down.

Males are naturally more violent. Testosterone probably plays a big role. Males are the more violent and aggressive sex in any species, including humans.

I blame the females. Those killers didnt get any attention from girls. Thats one major factor thats always over looked. So ladies, stop being stuck up b*tches and turn guys down so much. You might be the cause of the next killer.

There are actually very few young men that become mass killers.  They are just sensationalized when they happen, like shark attacks.

Equally incorrect.  You need to omit "many".

Simply because mass murderers relatively rare.  A better question what creates a mass murderer.

Yes, you are right. Let's discuss that.

I think it has to do with genetics and hormones. Men have higher levels of testosterone and that strongly correlates with aggressive behavior.

end up being mass murderes in the U.S? Seriously now.. let's kick away the gun debate.. and discuss something different.. The majority of mass shooting are young men.. aged between 17 and 35.. I see people complaining about guns..the type of guns. ... ect.. but nobody talks about the pattern that repeats generally over and over.. Young men, usually almost always in their 20's .. that cause rampage.

So, OT. Why do you think it is that young men are snapping so much in the U.S.. are we doing something wrong as a society towards young men... Or is it just a phase that will pass or something else? Or something else?

- discuss.

We do live in a society where young men are told to be tough about their emotions. So a lot of times they never get help or say anything, and just keep it bottle up inside till they explose. Also, we have this weird standard where girls will pretty much never approach a guy if he doesn't make the first move. Combine that with a male who has social anxiety, deep emotional problems, and sexual frustration.. Makes sense.

I am socially awkward, feel depressed occasionally, and have intense anger bouts. But I dissipate that chaos with positive external activities.

BS gender roles. Boys are raised around violence and the idea violence is manly. Girls don't get this most of the time.

Join a gym and start lifting weights and doiong crdio on a regular basis.

I had major anxiety when I was  younger and it dissaperead complety by me working out 5 days a week  ever week.

Working out and doing cardio just ups your mood and makes you feel great.

 

This. I had such bad anxiety that I wouldnt leave my house. When I was 18 I was a 300 pound fatty. Then I was forced to move, got a job, and started hitting the gym. Now I look great and have no anxiety. Except with girls sometimes.
