That's actually a really valid point. On top of that, Bob probably told Chris repeatedly that he had to work hard for what he wants. Welp, dummins wants sexy times, so apparently that's what he's going to focus every fiber of his being on.
This is where your idea falls off. I'm sure Bob did try to get Chris to work hard plenty of times, but that's probably what Chris describes as "starting arguments". He doesn't harass women because he thinks that qualifies as hard work, he harasses them because he doesn't respect their wants.
I wonder what would happen if one of the lesbian girls at Impulse told him "Oh Christine, I love having a gay friend like you"
I'd guess he'd be a little uncomfortable, and probably correct her that he's a lesbian friend, but I doubt it would seriously put him off.
The problem is that there's a huge swathe on the intelligence spectrum between where Chris is now and where Chris would need to be to be successful.
If he was slightly smarter maybe he'd realize you actually have to be able to bring something to the table if you want a girl to be attracted to you. He really expects it to be a love at first sight type of thing. He has no idea how to nurture a relationship or build attraction. Probably doesn't help he's never tried to improve at making friends in the past. He just expects a woman to be into him for no real reason.
If he was only slightly smarter, he'd be leading the cavalry on the loveshy forums.
Well, it's not purely intelligence, admittedly. It's also how much work is ahead of him. Right now, Chris thinks he has access to the sexual market as he is. He doesn't think he has to change anything about himself to get a sweetheart. Really, he feels he's entitled to a sweetheart as he is.
Let's be fair, he's a pretty massive idiot.
He's probably safely in that 1%. He also thinks he deserves a girl who is an 8-10. And in practice Chris does more to hurt his chances than he does to ever improve them.
99% of the population except him. That pretty much sums up the Infinitely-high boyfriend factor, instead of trying to emulate what worked for those 99%, he's jealous of their success over him and continues endlessly to search for a boyfriend-free girl in his own stupid and autistic ways, further drifting towards the point he can never EVER have any lasting and meaningful relationships.
I suppose he is pretty dumb. But I don't think it is really intelligence that holds him back. At least pure IQ type intelligence. Of course, it is mostly stuff that goes on his brain that prevents him from finding a sweetheart, and anything that goes on in the brain can be called intelligence of some type. So it's valid in that sense.
