You nailed it breh.
The irony is that this dude is a victim of the same thing that he is criticizing: a distorted sense of reality.
He wants these instathots (who are only for sale for the highest bidder in most cases, let's be honest), and if he can't have them, he feels like a loser.
Meanwhile, there are plenty of decent, good-looking women out here whom he would have a chance of dating. Instead of going for those women, he chooses to whine about the instathots and other attention whores.
Ironically, by obsessing over these whores, he is empowering them and thus further inflating their egos, which only leads to more frustration and reduces his chance of ever bagging one.
It's a vicious cycle
