@JordiGH I wonder if it's narcissism. Movies and video games teach you that you're incredibly important and living an exciting story. That's now how the world works and you'll be very ill-equipped to succeed if you only know "Chosen One" when life is more like the uncut version of the training montage. Your whole script for culture and success is wrong.
@pushcx I've heard convincing arguments that it's more about how videogames generally give you guaranteed success for following simple procedures. Solve a puzzle, pick the right responses from a list, and you'll rescue the princess and in some games sleep with her.
When real women don't work that way, resentment starts to breed.
@JordiGH Maybe that explains the rising popularity of the "friend zone" concept.
