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.
We actually have a long-running joke that whenever she leaves for class she’s actually just wandering the streets of our town and hitting people with her cane.
I would not have predicted this thread to be one of the exploding threads. 😀
Yowza. This thing sorta went boom, didn’t it?
These guys are always surprised that we can identify them as trolling misogynists in their first posts, as if there was really anything difficult about basic pattern recognition.
A bull penis cane? Sorry, my reaction to that is just Ewwww (and yes, I wear leather shoes and eat meat, no logic don’t come into it).
I was thinking wistfully of a sword cane this morning – preferably the sort wielded by this fellow.
Sink me!
Aaaargh where’s everybody gone I could be forced to get this thread to 1200 comments all by myself …
(hey, Ami could do it, I bet I can)
😀
Hey guys just an off topic note, lump in surviving boob is just a lump, yay! Ps regarding the pretty walking stick, I’m all for good looking prosthetics, meanwhile I’d like a cane that can mix a good cocktail. 😉
Hey kitteh, I’ll help, you have my almost undivided attention til Qantas decides if it wants to fly me anywhere.
Yoyo — I missed your previous post, but w00t for just a lump!
Yoyo, that’s great news about the lump being just a lump!
Are you at the airport? What’s Qantas’s excuse this time?
Okay, I just read something that made me go “Whut?” – a claim for some herbs-and-vitamins “hair restorer tonic” that it makes your scalp grow new follicles.
Why am I smelling snake oil here …
Cuz you can’t grow new follicles? Like, this is why hair doesn’t grow in scar tissue (right next to it sure, but not straight in it).
It is now 12:11 AM where I am.
At no point yesterday was I ever caught up with this thread. I just stayed up to finish it now out of sheer determination.
Anyway, just want to mention something that I’m not sure anyone brought up: How hilarious the “women only care about looks” trolls are when compared to our usual “women don’t care about looks at all” trolls. And how both would flip out at the fact that we make fun of both of them and would use it as proof that we must be lying because ONE of them must be the truth.
Bravo, katz! Marathon effort.
Argenti – yeah, that’s what I wuz thinkin’!
Another OT question: How do I track down a comment here with keywords? I’m trying to find the one where that short-lived troll was babbling about necrophilia a couple of months back. I can’t remember the troll’s handle (Doctor something). I know there’s a CTRL F function, but it didn’t come up with anything just using keywords. Halp! I know I’m doin’ it wrong, but what do I need to do? Google blog search didn’t help, either.
kittehs, isthis it?

(I can do keyword searches, so I did one for “necrophilia.”)
Hi David! 🙂
No, it’s not that one. It was one where a once-off troll with a name like Dr Fish or something had a great fail trying to suggest that my relationship with Mr K was some sort of necrophilia ‘cos he can’t consent. Pecunium did a lovely take-down of him. I think it was around January.
::curses sieve-like memory::
Wut? Errr…how? Ummm…really? Ehhh…words fail me.
It was a bit like that!
Pecunium’s response was that if there’s no relationship, then consent isn’t an issue, and if there is, one can reasonably assume he’s consenting. Everyone had something to throw at the troll, it was a pleasure to read. It was also funny ‘cos it was completely unoriginal weak sauce. 😀
Ok, I found what I don’t think is the original take down, but definitely is the troll in question — http://manboobz.com/2013/01/03/this-just-in-reddit-mras-dont-know-shit-about-rape-prevention-but-still-have-strong-opinions-about-it/comment-page-4/#comment-239828
Google apparently denies his existance though, so I can’t figure out the thread referenced on that thread.
Whoot! That’s it! How’d you find it, Argenti?
::overwhelmed with tech admiration::
Um, this may seem creepy, but I figured if necrophilia wasn’t a viable search term…
site:http://manboobz.com/ kitteh dead consent
And it’s long past my bedtime, good night guys!
I tried using those terms too, but didn’t know the “site” bit. Search, I iz doin it rong. 😛
Niters!
Holy crap, guys! I have a busy couple of days and you open a damn continent of posts! I’ll never catch up. Looks like new, whiny troll who wants a date? And Marie has a sibling? How can that be! They should have similar kitties! Genetic Avataritus, or something. What else did i miss?
G’night kitteh! (I got distracted >.<)
