I don't get what you are saying here. Are you taking this intersection of AFC and Violence in an attempt to disprove that women are generally more attracted to violent men than to accountants?.
No, I'm not saying that at all. I have no idea if this guy is an alpha brute or an AFC *****. Some of the initial posters were saying he was an AFC. All I was saying is that it was
interesting that this guy was considered an AFC, whereas in the past mass murderers have been held up as "alpha" examples that women desired.
I suppose the real difference here is that he targeted women, and that's why he's considered AFC.

If an 18 year old girl has a studious would-be accountant on one side, and a well-built popular running back on the other side.......how do you think she will view them relative to eachother? The big hunky jock versus cute little joe the accountant major.
Well, there's a big difference between football player and mass murderer. But what if the accountant is a big hunky handsome guy? Is he going to be disqualified if he's an accountant? Of course in the teen years, the athlete guy has a little "fame and celebrity" vibe going for him, because crowds come to see him play. I think that has to be at least part of the appeal of the jock.
Samspade makes an interesting point that as the girl matures into a woman, she's going to grow to appreciate the provisional value of the accountant. This is usually presented as a negative thing here on the forum (the girl has "hit the wall" and "given up" at getting a man she really wants, so she decides to "settle" with a "beta" for his money and is not actually attracted to him).
But I don't think this is as terrible as it is painted. I think maybe the woman has learned a few things during her years on earth and may come to realize that the accountant guy had more on the ball than she originally gave him credit for. I think it IS attractive when a man has his sh!t together, and he should not always be portrayed as a "provider beta".
