Wilkes McDermid, a London mini-celebrity food blogger jumped off a building after writing a final blog post:
https://wilkes888.wordpress.com/2015/02/...-everyone/
and the reasons for his suicide:
"The reason for my death is simple. I have concluded that in the realm of dating and relationships the primary characteristics required for men are as follows.
Height: above 5ft10
Race: huge bias towards caucasian and black
Wealth: or other manifestation of power
From my observations and research it appears that you need two of the three criteria for success with very few exceptions. What does this mean it means that it’s “game over” for me. By choosing to depart early, all I am doing is to accelerate the process of natural selection whilst saving myself a great deal of long term pain in the process."

Of course, this is probably statistically true and I respect this guy's suffering and decision but I wonder if he could not have leveraged quite easily his celebrity (as an "other manifestation of power") to get a nice white girl that he was apparently longing for. He wrote that he observed 10'000 Asian/Caucasian couples and that 95% of the time it was a white guy with an Asian girl.
Something that struck me while watching the first picture of him that popped up on google is his very bad style. His body language also looks quite beta. Both things are not so hard to improve...
