Because smart men know women don't do a damned thing you tell them to do:

A man who used an internet chatroom to try to set up a mass suicide on Valentine's Day had been trying for at least five years to persuade women to engage in sex acts with him and then kill themselves, it has been revealed.

The family does their best to cover up the fact this guy has a severe mental illness and is completely unmedicated, even lying to the sheriff:

He was arrested last week at his mother's home in Klamath Falls, southern Oregon.

He moved to Oregon about a year ago from Sacramento in California to take care of his ailing father, Sheriff Evinger said.

Yeah, right, whatever.

At least nobody got hurt. Hopefully privacy laws won't prevent authorities from getting the women who agreed to this some help as well.
