For example, Elliot Rodger's father implied on ABC that Elliot may have commited his murder due to jealously of his fathers "good looks".<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqIpYMJscVc</ref> Selfish or vain parents may play a role in the lack of [[confidence]] seen in incels, but this has yet to be studied.
