The worst part is that it drives good women even further away. Now you're not just a nerd but also an asshole.

The kinds of women you will get by being an asshole are the kinds who are assholes themselves. The result is usually an abusive relationship where she treats you like shit, which further reinforces the misogynistic ideology by "proving" once again how bad women are.

So yes it's an obvious downward spiral. Kudos for seeing it.

It sounds like Virgil slammed more kool aid than I thought.
