    The thing about serial killing is that it requires you to leave the house and meet new people, and frankly, that sounds like a lot of hassle I don’t need.

      Right? I don’t have time for that. Between being a parent, working full time, hobbies, chores, etc. I don’t have the energy left for dating finding victims!

    I feel this is more truthful about Hollywood movies. When you watch a documentary, it’s often: “he was a family guy”, “nobody thought he could do this”, “he was so charming”, etc.

    “It’s the quiet ones you gotta watch”. You know that one, eh? Every time you see a story about a serial killer on T.V, what do they do? They bring on the neighbor. And the neighbor says “Well, he was always very quiet.” And someone in the room says “It’s the quiet ones you gotta watch." This sounds to me like a very dangerous assumption. I will bet you anything that while you’re watching a quiet one, a noisy one will farking kill you!

    Suppose you’re in a bar and one guy is reading a book, not bothering anybody and another guy is standing at the bar with a machete banging it on the counter and saying “I’LL KILL THE NEXT MOTHERFARKER WHO COMES IN HERE!” ……who you gonna watch? You’re goddamn right" - George Carlin

    Some were married. Gacy, the BTK, bundy.

    And then you have cult leaders who are the opposite of lonely.

    Have friends, the rest fits. Should I be looking into a new career? I feel like serial killing has potential to be very fulfilling work!
