I think he's just had a lot of luck (good and bad) involving women. You roll the dice enough times, and you are bound to roll some 12's, and some 2's... [insert your favorite RPG dice here]. I'm not saying he should be going through all this, just that you only need one bad date to ruin your life, and he was a bit of a gambler.
Straight up, I've never met Vic in person, all I've seen is videos of him talking to people, and I can tell you 100% dude is a hella chick magnet because he's one of those guys that just
likes women. Not in a sexual way, like he's constantly looking to score, but just in the fact that he appreciates the fairer sex for what it is, in all the forms that it comes in. You can see it in the way that he talks to coworkers, friends, fans, before and after all this bullshit went down. Especially after. I watched every bit of footage with him in it from Anime Matsuri, and the way he still calls the females that talk to him Darling and Princess, and he does it without
zero hesitation, and
zero hint of sarcasm and/or disdain when he does so. Because it's just natural to him.
This is a state of mind that attracts every kind of chick. From little bitty toddlers, to rickety grandmas with one foot in the grave. From the homeliest and most socially awkward of nerds to the most beautiful and regal of ladies.
It's already been mentioned by Nick how Vic is
damn good at looking you in the eye and, while he's talking to you, making you feel like he's paying attention and listening to you and
cares about what you're saying. He does that for everyone. Now imagine how that magnifies when he spots something about you, something maybe innocuous, and points it out and calls it beautiful. For example, say you're Marzgurl, right, in you come in with your plain face and your oddly yaoi art like proportions of your body (tiny head, freakishly long arms, horrifically large hands), and Vic doesn't say anything about that, but notices that you have a dimple when you smile, and tells you that it's cute. Or that your eyes are a beautiful color( despite the fact that you do your eyeshadow like a clown). And he means it.
That's the kind of shit that can change a young geek girl's life, that can boost her self esteem, get her to take better care of herself, to dress better, to do whatever she thinks would make someone like Vic look at her again and think something about her is beautiful, and lead to her to think that some bits, maybe even a whole lot of bits, are beautiful too.
Of course, this also attracts the worst kind of women, the sort that want to have that kind of attention and praise at their beck and call, the kind that want to keep it to themselves, and begin to hate and resent it when it goes to someone else. That are jealous and spiteful when they have it, and bitter and vindictive when they lose it. And absolutely, positively, poisonously hateful when they try to dig their claws in to own it, and get denied.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the only thing more recklessly destructive than a crazy bitch that lost the dick that she'd been riding, is a crazy bitch that never even got a chance to ride the dick she'd been coveting.
