PUAHAte.com is an … interesting place. A site for debunking the ridiculous claims and shitty behavior of Pickup Artists? Sounds great – at least until you realize that the denizens are mostly dudes who hate PUAs for all the wrong reasons. That is, they hate PUAs not so much for being manipulative scumbags but for being ineffective manipulative scumbags — whose alleged magic formulas for bedding the hot babes don’t really work.
The other day I was introduced to a fledgling Twitter account, @puahate_txt, which reposts hilariously awful comments from PUAhate.com. This inspired me to take another look at the site and do a little poking around for awful quotes on my own. They weren’t hard to find. (It’s harder, really, to find comments that aren’t awful.)
Here’s one charming fellow, who calls himself ToadLookingMaggot, and who holds a grudge against the entire female gender because of a $3 loan gone awry.
After reading ” The manipulated man ” i saw women really for what they where, little selfish Moneysucking vampire Whores.
This rinsing stuff starts in high school if not earlier they try to leech money, food, free rides and basically anything that benefits them in some kind of form. I borrowed a female 3 dollars for meal a meal one time, for months she said that she was going to let me have it and in the end i never got them back.
It doesn’t matter if it’s 2 dollars or 2.000 dollars there freaks never pay you back. Only idiots buy drinks for women.
Men are ruining women because they let them get away with anything. Never in my life will i ever spend money on women unless we pay 5050 on a date.
Uh, obvious question here, but if you hate women, and think that they’re all “Moneysucking vampire Whores,” WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DATE THEM? I’m pretty sure that you’re not going to find many interested in you either, at least not after they get a whiff of your personality.
And that’s your PERSONALITY, not your looks. PUAhaters seem obsessed with the notion that women only date male models, and spend a lot of time bemoaning their own looks – I just quoted a guy who describes himself as a ToadLookingMaggot, after all. Yet whenever they post pictures of themselves they seem to be completely normal, average, not-actually-bad-looking-at-all guys. Guys, your problem isn’t your lack of beauty on the outside. What’s ugly is your attitudes.
Speaking of which, here’s RomanCitizen, a self-described Incel, lamenting that life is sad to all but the “top 10%” of men? Why? Because ladies walk around looking all pretty, yet for some reason they do not allow RomanCitizen to fuck them.
The life of man is a sad one
Excluding the top 10%.
Born into a world of plenty, of abundance, of denial.
See, smell, imagine.
Do not taste, touch, feel.
Like a caged animal in a harem, fed only occasionally fish heads (scraps in the game).
And when the caged animal gets the fish head (scrap), he is happy and rationalizes his pitiful existence, like many men …
But, the cage is still a cage. A fish head – still a fish head.
PROTIP: If you think of the women you don’t find sufficiently desirable as “fish heads,” and walk around in a perpetual boner-rage, you’re probably not going to seem especially charming to the women you do find desirable. Or to anyone else except perhaps the denizens of PUAHate.com. And not all of them, either.
&.l.t blockquote /.&.r.t
Um…sort of. The / goes on the closing tag, before the tag itself (eg blockquote, em). The Unicode symbols end in ; and it’s lt (less than) and gt (greater than)
That didn’t work. Argenti is a magician. That is all there is to it.
So this is how you do it?
Oh. That makes sense. I went with left and right
<blockquote> Take that monster </blockquote>
How is that different from this?
With a gravatar like that, of course Argenti is a magician!
“Silly blockquote monster, the more of us who can show how it is done, the more blockquotes you will have to eat.”
Wasn’t there a peer-reviewed article on the causes and effects of super-sizing blockquote serves in the blockquote monster community?
Kitteh — I think so? Hard to tell when they’re so tiny.
That invisible ally is defeated by using < and >
(And those? &lt; and &gt; and this is why JavaScript is actually a useful skill, miss one character and BREAK ALL THE THINGS. Mind you, I never pay nearly enough attention when I’m using them, as opposed to explaining them!)
Cassandra — are you using < or < ? The former will evoke the HTML tag itself, have to use the Unicode for < to get around it.
::head spins in confusion::
@Argenti
Thanks for explaining it btw. I think I will be able to remember since I messed it up. Corrections of my errors always stick in my head better than anything else.
Some Gal got it! w00t!
Oh and congrats Ghost Btty. You can nest them, but that’s when the blockquote monastery gets out its friends for a feast.
And I misheard script kiddie as script kitty, so yes, I am a script kitty magician 🙂
And now I have fixed what was going wrong with all my youtube attempts. My browser sticks spaces in when I paste and that apparently breaks youtube imbeds.
pecunium, Thank you for telling me my opinion on equality. How very presumptuous of you.
The notion of white men having the most wealth/power/pull in the world is very US/Western-centric. There are a billion people in China, and not one single white man in an executive position of power. And once China starts reforming it’s economic system to be more capitalistic, there will be far more Chinese men and women on the Forbes “Billionaires List” than whites.
Can we just drop a white man into North Korea and Kim Jong-un will just hand over control of the entire country? Will all the warlords in Somalia just turn over their control if we parachute in a white dude?
Power is power and it knows no race/sex/nationality. It has more to do with people’s ingroup biases to favor other people that look, talk, act and believe the same as they do.
To celebrate, I am sharing this again because it is my favorite thing and never fails to make me happy.
I just played that kitty vid and Mads is all worrit about it now! 😀
I think they’re working off the offensive stereotype that women hate guitars and all guitar-related music because they only listen to shitty dance pop.
And who doesn’t know their dude looks at porn. I just wouldn’t look at browser history.
Besides if a dude did air guitar and there was music playing I would probably join in.
We need a list of people who have no chance of ever getting dates/sex/love/relationships, according to these guys.
The perpetually single includes:
Women over 30, unemployed men, women who don’t fit conventional beauty standards, nice guys, ambitious women, men who are friends with women, single mothers, poor guys, women who’ve had more than 5 sexual partners…
I mean, I know that when I look around, absolutely the only people I see paired up are couples consisting of a rich aggressive guy and a young beautiful near-virgin!
I like guitar and do air guitar on occasion. Put Cockney Rebel’s Make Me Smile on and you’ll see some truly woeful left-handed air guitar. 🙂
If by dance music they mean that electronic stuff, I can’t abide it.
I am very glad to say my man does not look at porn, but he did grow up in a different era!
The boyfriend and I both look at porn and when we were newly together told each other what porn we primarily looked at as a way of sharing our kinks and because it didn’t make sense to us to not talk about it when we talk about masturbation, etc. We occasionally talk about it still, but that’s about as far as we care to go. We do kinky stuff together for each of us and then each of us has our own type of kinky porn. It has never seemed like a big deal to me.
I’d be upset if a guy lied about it, but if he didn’t want to share, I think I could be okay with that. I wouldn’t go looking and I would hope if he didn’t want me to know, he’d hide it so I wouldn’t stumble on it by accident. (We still don’t know who of the boyfriend’s family- brother, dad, mom – is into the stuff we found by accident of the computer at his parents’ house and we don’t want to know, but we wish we could tell whoever it is how to clear a history on a shared computer. Sheesh.)
Our trolls shouldn’t try meeting people at the fruit growers’ association.
Everyone there is armed with fruit.
Wow, that’s awkward. I’d be sitting there trying to figure out who it was so that I could slip them a discrete note.
Can you just post a note with general directions on deleting browser history? Maybe with a note about this should be done periodically for the sake of the computer.
I was helping my aunt declutter her computer many years ago and was explaining how to clear the cache/history etc. Sadly, my uncle was clearly unaware that I was going to do this and/or didn’t know how to do it himself. My poor aunt was confronted with his porn browsing history, it took me a few minutes to realise what I was looking at. I think we pretended it didn’t happen and I wiped the history. It clearly was not a shared topic of conversation between them. They later divorced (over other stuff) but I still remember that day. I felt so bad for my aunt.
I think we cleared it and tried not to think about it too much. There have been mentions about such things to both his parents during general computer how-to chats, but I think the boyfriend is too embarrassed to ever ask his brother. (At the time we found it, it was not too long after a holiday when his brother visited and while we were temporarily living with his parents. It could have been from any of them.)
We just knew it wasn’t ours. 🙂 Not only was it not our thing, but we would never have left an easy trail.
