The regulars at PUAhate.com – we’ve met them before — are a strange and bitter bunch. Most seem to be self-loathing so-called “incels” who blame their lack of romantic and sexual success on their average or below-average looks. Rejecting the basic premise of the pickup artist crowd – that average guys can transform themselves into suave lotharios by mastering manipulative pickup formulas – the PUAhate regulars tend to be true believers in what they somewhat pretentiously call “looks theory,” the odd and obviously untrue notion that women only date men with “male model” looks.
As one PUAhater put it recently:
PUA makes you think that all your problems are because of your personality/behaviour – i.e. things you can control. So when you keep failing, it means that YOU are fucking up and doing things wrong
the reality is that many of us just lost the genetic lottery. we are ugly, the wrong race, the wrong height etc, and that fucked us up. there is NOTHING we can do about it
So, naturally, the PUAhaters spend a lot of their time jealous of tall, good-looking men for their supposed monopoly on the women of the world — whom they also hate.
But the strange thing is that the PUAhaters pretty much hate everyone else as well. They get angry when guys they consider ugly score “hot chicks.” They get angry when guys who are good-looking but not male models get attention from “really hot girls.” And so on, and so on, and so on.
Indeed, many of the regulars seem to walk around in a perpetual state of rage, angry at each and every man who’s managed to pair up with a woman, not to mention the women as well.
One regular recently described his “day from hell” to his comrades:
To start the day I saw a couple where it was an average White guy with an OBESE Asian girl. They were walking around acting like they were trying to prove shit. LMAO. I wanted to kick the guy in the fucking nuts for dating that landwhale. If you’re going to use the racial advantage, at least date a girl who is under 300lbs. Later I go to the gym and see the same tall guys I usually do. Even if I had a good face, how the fuck do you compete with guys who are fucking 6’4”?
Then at the gym there’s this good looking White guy there talking to this Asian dude about how Asian girls are easy and how they approach him. To make things worse after that these fucking frat douchebags come in with their girlfriends to show off . Then to cap off the day a girl I used to know from freshman year walks right past me without even saying anything. I used to fucking live next door to this bitch and now she doesn’t even say anything and acts like a pretentious cunt. She’s an Indian girl dating a White dude lmao. Days like today make you wonder why you even still try in the first place.
Of course, as I’ve mentioned before, most of those posting on PUAhate don’t actually seem to be ugly by anyone’s standards but their own, at least judging from the pictures of themselves they sometimes post to the site, which reveal them to be mostly average-looking guys, with some of the regulars even quite conventionally handsome.
But evidently they would rather believe that they have “lost the genetic lottery” rather than face a more obvious explanation for why the girls don’t like them: because they’re shallow, self-obsessed assholes who hate themselves and hate women and radiate their bitterness from every pore. (And some are even creepier than this, like this pedophile – sorry, ephebophile – who’s angry at me personally because unlike him I don’t chase after 15-year-olds. Link NSFW.)
The PUAhaters often talk about getting surgeries to “correct” their supposed genetic flaws. They would do far better to spend that money on therapy.
@kittehs
already said this, but sounds like a pretty walking stick 🙂
Quick answer: I’m not wild about formal religion of any stripe, but with yoga, it’s just the whole Hinduism + potential stuff about reincarnation that rubs me up the wrong way. So much the opposite of what I believe.
Okay, off this time! 🙂
Wrote a post, corrected a whopping number of spelling errors, hit refresh instead of “post comment.” Wrote it again, hit the back button before I could even get to the “post comment” button. Clearly, it is time for me to go to bed.
Night all.
(Thanks, Argenti!)
@kittehs
That explains it 🙂 Thanks for explaining
/…redudnant.
Also, bye? bye if you’re leaving. I’m not comprehending what I read very well today XD
You can do the exercises and ignore the bits about chi, energy, flow, reincarnation, body-spirits, localized energy, auras and intermingling spiritualistic set pieces.. It’s what I do, and it works for me. Just… movement and breathing.
I did have a friend who was terrified she’d start with yoga and end up being a cultist, though. Good times.
oh wow it’s really late here. I must go to bed.
Good night manboobers. It was fun talking with you guys, as always 😀
Oh no, Marie, you’re fine. Yoga is not my religion. I injured my sciatic nerve once, and yoga helped me rehab, that’s all.
Pillow in hell — awesome to hear they’re really making a difference, I always feel a bit powerless merely retweeting their points (not really my place to add anything besides support after all). My tweeter feed is probably uber depressing, it’s that, animals, and this —
http://www.genocidewatch.org/myanmar.html
“Because of its ongoing wars against minorities, especially the Karen, Shan, and Kachin, Genocide Watch has kept Myanmar at Stage 7 (Current genocidal massacres.)”
Well, and other Anon related things. And elephants 😀
G’night Gillian and Marie. Laters Kitteh!
cloudiah: Generally I take a medium. 🙂
JK: Really…
This is why women are represented in equal numbers to men as one moves up the ladder; and they get paid the same too.
Which is to say it’s damned easy to prove that it doesn’t really happen the other way.
And, passover shopping done, I am going to bed.
Argenti, sweet Jesus! If Myanmar is killing so many groups of people who will be left?
And just to cheer you up, the local natIve center did a march and also some drumming to raise awareness of Thunderbird. They work really hard to raise awareness and provide outreach to the larger community. I used to live on the side of the building closest to them and could listen in on their drumming sessions.
G’night Pecunium! (Drive-by comment much? XD )
Also, since I have it playing —
Pillow in hell — call me a cynic but who’ll be left? The one’s we’re removing sanctions on and opening trade with (you may also call me bitter)
And yes, drums make me happy, as does useful outreach. Not that I have anything against social media awareness, I just question how effective it is when people’s lives are literally at stake…of course…#OpRedRoll and now #OpRaider (Steubenville and the new Torrington assault, for the non-twitter inclined)
Hey Argenti, I am probably going to be in New Haven early May. I may not have a lot of free time, but hit me at my ‘nym at gmail if you’re interested in having coffee or something and we’ll see if we can arrange.
OMG this thread exploded. I am not even trying to catch up.
Oh my lord, I’ve just caught up with all the comments. And don’t really have anything to add that hasn’t already been said eloquently by someone else already.
Except that, having finally read “his” comments I am aware that “Ross” is not the real Ross Jeffries. The person behind that account is banned from posting under that name. No impersonation! Even if you don’t expect people to think you’re really the person you’re jokingly impersonating.
Wanna guess what Myanmar/Burma have? Two points if you said:
“Burma is a country rich in precious stones, oil, natural gas and other mineral resources.”
I may need to listen to Sophia again, before I decide I hate the world.
Cloudiah, you’ve (hopefully) got mail 🙂
JK:If I was a woman with this content I wouldn’t have gotten that response. Nobody would have made assumptions that I’m here to wank because I ‘can’t get a date’.
Honeychild…. you are wrong. Any number of women have gotten the same bum’s rush. Google Ruby and manboobz.
And you did come here to whine you can’t get a date, so if you were female, you’d have gotten that too: just like Giant Turtle did, on this very thread.
You aren’t special.
There are such strong judgements here towards me when so little is known about me other than my gender which is funny coming from people who claim to be about equality.
All I know about you is what you post. Which is what I respond to. Want a different response…? Don’t be a douchenozzle, as you were with this little misogynistic gem.
Might be interested in this if it was a movement which didn’t solely blame me for it in the first place. 🙂
Bed, made: Lie in it.
So by just grouping me in with all the other young men who are blind to their privilege she isn’t treating me different because of my gender?
Dude… you admit you are blind to it. You insist it doesn’t exist. You made statement to that effect from the get go (trust me, you don’t live in a vaccuum; none of what you have said is original).
1147 comments!
1148 now? Anyways, are we sure Mr. Al/Steele/Torvus Butthorn/et fucking cetera wasn’t here? He’s a master of the 1,000+ comment threadspolsion.
Is JK trying to win us over with his personality? Hilarity ensues!
That sounds lovely. Roommate started walking with a cane this summer, which has brought me into the world of (among many things) cane fashion. She actually gets a fancy cane magazine, which we’ve gone through together a few times. I keep urging her to get one of these but she won’t for some reason.
She should get a sword cane! Then she can physically assault random men on the street like a proper feminist.
