There’s a new blog out there that I think a lot of you will appreciate. I would say “enjoy,” but your enjoyment of it will no doubt alternate with despair over the future of the human race. Which makes it sort of like this blog!
Anyway, the blog is called PUA.txt, and, as the name suggests, it features horrible quotes taken from forums and other websites where would-be pickup artists like to congregate.
My favorite quote, of all those featured there, is probably this exceedingly whiny one from The Venusian Arts forum, in which a PUA by the name of Rick Tiero defends another commenter who refers to women as sluts. While other PUAs there are annoyed by the slut basher – because calling women “sluts” makes them defensive and less likely to want to have sex with PUAs — Rick has a different take. Addressing himself to one of the forum’s few female members, he writes:
Don’t try to judge him, you don’t know what the fuck he’s been through. Stuff like that can come from fucked up parents or even kindergardens that forcefeed small boys with religion and evil feminist propaganda, totaly destroying someones sexlife in the later years.
Of all the guys in here, very few are here by choice. You feminists have created spank for your own ass by compromising genderoles for ages now, don’t bitch about it. You women ruined our fun first by being a somewhat moral police yourselves! It is called bad karma.
No man wants to do whats wrong with women, they have been taught wrong by a society in genderless chaos created by the feminist movement, a movement so selfish and evil that I like to compare it to the new age nazis. In this society women are expected to not show body because a man is supposed to like her for her personality, like a woman likes a man.
It is doomed to fail, because people are not built that way. I bet OP has seen alot of porn and wouldn’t mind fucking all of the women in that room, even the fattie, bacause it’s nice for a change. Deep inside of him there is a good PUA just waiting to surface anytime soon.
And you women should really be more understanding to prude men! Put your self in my shoes! I can search for vegetables on the internet and find “Gorgeous teen playing with a cuecumber” And for me being a guy, that is something I’d like to watch!
Man! I can’t even go to the store and buy myself some bread without walking by the magazines with naked women all over it. It’s like wherever i turn there is a pair of titties mocking me, looking at me with it’s poking eyes. In the local park they have made this figure of a naked woman, but it’s made of stone. You women don’t have to go through any of that.
Yep, that’s right, it’s that old argument: Sexy women oppress men with their sexiness!
The most horrifying comment I’ve found on PUA.txt so far is probably this one from RooshV’s forum about the pros and cons of having sex with disabled women:
Yeah, I’m not even going to touch that one.
There’s also a PUA.txt twitter account, which features still more horrible quotes. (I only wish it provided links to the sources of the quotes like the blog does.) Here are some of its greatest hits so far.
PS: Do any of you ladies know where the nearest bank is? I need to drop off some gold.
Well, you know how it is, feminists just find manginas to support ’em, not Real Men like Roissy et al.
Rick Tiero: zero to proving Godwin’s Law in 14 lines.
@ MordsithJ
I was intrigued as to what SMV meant, so I googled it. I’m now about to find out how much my body is worth at the meat market!
And of course happy anniversary, LBT!
I’m glad you’re still getting art gigs, too; that can really be feast or famine. In terms of places to upload comics, I found ComicFury to be really easy to use; if you do end up making a Princess and Monster comic or something else long-running, it might be a handy place.
@LBT
Seconding the recommendation for Wreck-It Ralph. I’m actually listening to the soundtrack right now. It’s good stuff all over.
Wow, what a horrible world we live in, It definitely sounds JUST LIKE Nazi Germany.
Yeah, wanting to be liked for who you are instead of just random physical attributes is just SUCH a Nazi attitude.
Also, there are no women who like men for their bodies! Women don’t like sex at all! Which is why they should have sex with me whenever I feel aroused by their “titties” mocking me.
Wait, what?
You know who liked women for their personalities? HITLER.
So that’s where Hitler went wrong! Who’da thunk?
@Peartree: Congratulations!
@Lowquacks:
Okay, I end up at zero points for my boobs, since they’re tiny A-cups that look firm and pert when I wear nothing. I think this is a fairly common combination for skinny women. And I bet you’d found lots of women as well who have big boobs that need a good supportive bra to hold up. But in his fantasyland you’re supposed to have what TVtropes label “the most common superpower” – huge gravity-defying boobs!
@Kitten and Cassandra: I sometimes think that people are doing excessive labelling. I can understand how people who aren’t interested in sex at all might want a label and claim it as something okay and normal, since there is this expectation that everyone should like sex and if you don’t there’s something wrong with you. But poly and mono for instance? That’s something I personally don’t really get… I don’t want to say to people who experience themselves as actually having an orientation as either poly or mono that they’re WRONG, but when people say “you’re either poly or mono, you should find out which one and do what works for you” I can’t chime in. I’ve had an “open relationship” (as it was called back in the old days, when I was young), we were both sleeping with others at the side, and I was fine with that. Now I’ve been in a monogamous marriage for eleven years, and I’m fine with that. For me, it always felt just like a choice you make. Not an orientation.
And when it comes to labelling people “Demi”… Well, I can SORT of understand that for a person who’s genuinely just attracted to one other person in the entire world. But as soon as we get into the territory of “Don’t get attracted to people I don’t know very well” or “serial monogamist who never feel like having sex with anyone else but my partner”, why would that even need a label?
Or maybe there should be a special label for “totally gets horny over complete strangers” as well.
Oh lol that RooshV’s comment. I’m disabled, in fact I’m disabled in similar fashion as the lady in his story (disabled bowels, not same symptoms though) and I always have and will tell my partners of my scars and everything else that might weird them out. Not once have I been dumped because of my disability (I usually do the dumping, but I digress). But then again I don’t let PUA types even close enough to ever see more of me.
I guess the conclusion I could draw from this are that either I’m “hot enough” otherwise that my partners (f & m) don’t mind, but considering they also want to be with me after one night (be it friends or lovers), I’m guessing they simply care more about the whole person.
or one thing, those are bra sizes, not breast sizes. It’s very easy to sound creepy if you use “breast size”, particularly if you’re a dude. Also, cup size? Not an indicator of much. There’s band sizes as well, hotshot. I’ve learned this just by being around women who talk about bras
It’s funny because it really should be about the breast size – or really, volume. After a bra sizing conversation I think on this blog, I put my measurements into three different bra sizing websites and got three drastically different answers. So I turned to wiki’s almost bizarrely thorough article on the subject and learned about estimating the volume of my sweater puppies. This has changed my life, well, the bra-shopping part anyway.
If I had a complaint, though, is that simply measuring the diameter of the boobs and using the equation for the volume of a sphere only really works if yours are reasonably hemisphere-y when you recline. Many women would find this model inadequate. There has to be a better way.
Congrats LBT
I use tumlr……and I like it. I don’t really write much though. I follow some pretty smart folks on there though. One does feminist film analyst of animated/disney movies.
His argument seems to be that the over sexualization of women upsets him, but is womens fault for being sexy? I don’t understand…..
Bra sizes are confusing. You pretty much have to figure it out for each brand of bras.
(apologize for any mistakes I’ve been up 20 hours and still have 5 more hours of work to go)
You know who else used to compare his ideological opponents to notorious totalitarian regimes in order to invoke a knee-jerk moral reaction against them?
HITLER.
I have a tumblr and I LOVE it. I follow heaps of rugby blogs and enjoy meeting lovely young women who share my love for Richie McCaw and Dan Carter. Its a little problematic with its gay fetishising, but I love it.
@Dvargh I believe the term youre lookig for is ‘demi-romantic’ Or as I coined when I was attempting to explain my sexuality a decade ago – ‘asthetically inclined’.
Well I know that to like someone I have to fine them aesthetically pleasing from the start but it’s only once I get to know someone that I will reach “I would like to jump your bones, right here, right now on the kitchen table” stage.
It’s the whole package that makes someone really sexually attractive to me, you need chemistry, and how can you get chemistry without knowing anything about someone?
I think I’m pretty normal in that regard though, everyone can look at someone and think “Yes that person is attractive” but I think that for most people, of any gender or sexual orientation, t’s not until you’ve talked to them and learned some things about them that they become more than just “attractive” and become “ooft”.
So in terms of the guy I like at the moment, I thought he was nice looking at first, but it was once i got to know him better and I realised that he is possibly the nicest person on the face of the planet, and clever and hard working and we get on really well and make each other laugh that I really started fancying him.
And the fact that he has nice shoulders and plays rugby and is studying medicine and does this wrinkling thing with his nose when he smiles that makes him look like some sort of small woodland creature are totally besides the point…
Ahem.
Hi LBT! Congratulations on your job and your anniversary and hubs’ birthday!
I wander around Tumblr a lot. I tend to go for art sites and Doctor Who, and I follow Diane Duane’s tumblr and Wil Wheaton’s. In my meanderings I haven’t run across a SJ Tumblr yet, although there are plenty of reblogs for missing persons, suicide hotlines, and the like.
I just found out about the poo-flinging monkeys masquerading as college students at St. John’s College at the University of Sydney. I can post a link if anyone wants, but it’s HORRIBLE HORRIBLE STUFF and I don’t wanna spring it on anyone. So occasionally Tumblr gives me an upset.
I love Tumblr – it provides me with Takarazuka pictures and videos I can’t get anywhere else. I just… unfollow dumb people. Ergo, my tumblr experiences are quite good. And it’s far from any sort of ‘scorge of the internet’
@Weeboy: Or maybe I should call myself demi-mono, since I didn’t really feel comfortable with monogamy until I met my husband. 😛 I’m mono for him, but not for anyone else!
David, you should check out “the missing ingredient” on the spredhead. An eloquent rebuttal to why women can’t have it all.
Of course only women are consummerists..
Welp, that’s it. I’ve had it with capitalism. Time to grow me some facial hair and become a prescriptivist political thinker whose ideas are turned into bloody power grabs by rank opportunists. For Marx, it was French textile mills. For me, it’s a pair of lovely horses used to get people to stand still long enough for a payday loan company to give them an elevator speech. >:(
My experience with tumblr is fandom confession blogs, which are…. well.
Happy anniversary LBT! And congrats on the job!!
Well that’s it, I’m training my pair of titties to mock misogynists by calling them “Cucumber Peg Champ”. MOCKINGLY. As for those who make such disparaging and/or comments about sex with disabled people, I can just keep responding to them the way I have been, it seems to unsettle.
