In high school Minassian was noted as being very shy around women. According to a self-described friend of Minassian at the time Minassian would play up this gynophobia for comedic effect, often "cowering, shivering and whimpering in [a female's] presence like a toddler". He reportedly acted like this around every girl he met at the high school he attended.<ref>https://www.toronto.com/opinion/i-was-friends-with-alek-minassian-in-high-school-we-were-both-outcasts/article_3f2cf590-c073-5bf5-9854-6e004c7e6452.html</ref> | In high school Minassian was noted as being very shy around women.

In the police interview that took place after the attack, Minassian claimed he suffered a rejection at a party he attended. Minassian stated “I walked in and attempted to socialize with some girls. However, they all laughed at me and held the arms of the big guys instead,” he said. He followed this statement with rhetoric that was reminiscent of Elliot Rodger, and Minassian may have been actually recounting an incident that occurred in Rodger's life | In the police interview that took place after the attack, Minassian claimed he suffered a high public and humiliating rejection at a party he attended. Minassian stated “I walked in and attempted to socialize with some girls. However, they all laughed at me and held the arms of the big guys instead,” he said. He followed this statement with rhetoric that was reminiscent of Elliot Rodger, and Minassian may have been actually recounting an incident that occurred in Rodger's life wherein Rodger had entered a house party and got into a physical altercation with some of the men there. In the interview, Minassian claimed that women rejected him because he was 'very nice' and acted in a 'gentlemanly' manner, again mirroring the content of Elliot Rodger's vlogs.<ref>https://globalnews.ca/news/5956688/alek-minassian-toronto-police-interview/</ref> Thus, these personal accounts of rejection Minassian gave in his police interview are likely confected and served to solidify his image as an incel killer. | ||
