I read the original manifesto years ago and I can't seem to recall Elliot ever trying to genuinely get to know people. Whenever he was in a social situation, he was just sulking about, judging everyone and expecting hot girls to just walk up to him and offer him sex. The only person he could have an honest conversation with, was his childhood friend, James, but Elliot managed to alienate him, with his increasingly extremist tirades.
Dude was a massive nerd, with an enormous victim complex, which stemmed from his unchecked narcissism. He really thought everything and everyone will be handed to him unconditionally, without him putting in any effort whatsoever. He didn't really want to befriend fellow geeks in real life, because he wanted to be popular and cool, cause in his twisted mind, only those people could score a pretty girlfriend. All his attempts at weaseling himself into the circles of cool people, were extremely cringe worthy and awkward, because he just copied the superficial traits of the group and expected to be accepted right off the bat. Like buying expensive skater gear, while knowing fuck all about skating.
Incels like to portray him as a misunderstood, socially awkward victim of our cruel culture, but it is all bullshit. Elliot was an unrelatable, shallow prick, who seemingly didn't have any complex human desires. Reading his manifesto, the only thing he cared about is sex and status. He just wanted to live like a rich superstar, who is being constantly showered with attention, praise and pleasure. At no point he tries to describe the personality of his hypothetical girlfriend, all I learned is, he wanted a smoking hot blonde. Probably one would not have been enough, cause Elliot never expressed true desire to actually settle down with someone and start a family. Maybe he mentioned having children once, but if I recall correctly, it was just about succession and maintaining his precious "pedigree", not about a need to nurture.
I doubt he would have been happy, if he did manage to win the lottery and score with some gold digger. Maybe for a short period he could have felt elation, but soon he would have realized his life is still empty. Instead of getting his priorities in order, he would have just complained about everyone using him for his money, treating his "ideal" girlfriend(s) like shit, because of his tendency of being a jealous asshole.
