Joins micro-culture of goth to reduce competition for women. Adopts the lifestyle, music, clothes, haircut, but doesn't get any girls and is stuck instead as a beta-orbiter. Rather than write this off as a failed experiment after a couple of months and exploring other scenes (like turning Country-Western) or traveling to meet girls a different way, he doubles-down on goth and buys a sex doll instead. Still has same haircut from 23 years ago, which I believe is when goth was last popular. Has wasted decades of his youth immersed in video games instead of human interaction, leaving him still unable to approach women.
Complains about the expense of being with real women, but takes a year and a half to save a paltry $6,000, and lives in a one bedroom apartment at age 40. Still so cheap he uses milk crates for storage like he's an 8 year old boy with a collection of frogs.
Also, buys fake nerdy glasses for fake woman. Huh.
Now once again, rather than change, grow, or try something different, he's doubling down on the sex doll lifestyle.
He's now an "activist".
Learn from other people's mistakes. He's an example of what not to do.

"Alpha children wear grey. They work much harder than we do, because they're so frightfully clever. I'm awfully glad I'm a Beta, because I don't work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas. Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear khaki. Oh no, I don't want to play with Delta children. And Epsilons are still worse. They're too stupid to be able to read or write. Besides they wear black, which is such a beastly color. I'm so glad I'm a Beta."
--Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
