The problem — well, one of the many problems — with a lot of so-called pickup artists is that they think with their dicks, and then use their relatively underpowered brains to rationalize their dickular preferences as The Way The World Should Be.
By contrast, the problems with Lance Christopher, a so-called pickup artist who hangs out in the comments section on Roosh V’s Return of Kings blog, really start when he stops thinking with his dick.
Some dudes roll over and fall asleep the moment after they come; Mr. Christopher contemplates genocide because women don’t want to hear him pontificate about Ukrainian history.
In case you’re wondering, no one else in the discussion suggests that Mr. Christopher’s opinion here might be a teensy bit extreme.
No, the commenters happily share terrible opinion after terrible opinion about the inferior creatures known as women.
Oh, it gets worse.
Cleanup in the pompous misogyny aisle!
You’ll notice that all of these comments have upvotes, by the way.
There may be some even more terrible comments in that thread, but I gave up reading them after a few screens full of this sort of garbage.
It’s really funny to me that Spaghettiboy mentioned women having no conceptualization of philosophy. I majored in philosophy, and if there is one group that specializes in making disparaging remarks about my degree, it is men who work in the sales/business realm. Not once have I heard from a woman, “What did the philosophy major say? ‘Do you want fries with that?'” with some big, delighted grin. But I’ve heard it from a lot of dudes. Not saying all men feel that way, or all women, but for a group (the manosphere) that routinely degrades jobs which involve brain over brawn (and love to claim that the entire world would shut down if men decided to go on strike, because they do the labor oriented jobs- and yet would continue going on as usual if women did the same), it’s funny that suddenly they have such an appreciation for a cerebral, relatively artistic field like philosophy.
@ freshlysqueezedcynic
I’m excited for GoT too!
Here’s Martin refuting the OP. I was never a huge fan of the books, but I gotta love this “where the hell do you think, genius?” quote.

Lance sounds like a scintillating conversationalist.
You’re getting uncomfortably close to body-shaming there. I agree that they’re irrational idiots, but there’s no actual correlation between dick size and being an awesome or horrible person.
(I concede that our hyper-masculine society does encourage assholish behaviour in people who are trying to compensate for their perceived physical shortcomings.)
Well, we all know that this is what lurks under the veneer of humanity these guys project, but it’s still shocking when it comes out unrestrained.
Hey, shitweasels, if God invented a better replacement for women THEY would get rid of YOU.
Yowsers. Christopher had some horrifying things to say about harems, too. I’m not sure which words are filtered so I’d best leave it to your imaginations.
If women have an unwavering dedication to “Dick”, what’s Pastaboy whining about?
Here’s a highly intellegent response to him:
Let’s see: a PUA dog running around with his tongue hanging out, begging, or a dignified cat who doesn’t stoop to such degrading displays.
@ Auntie Alias
That’s interesting, considering I was just thinking that I recognize more agency in my pets than these assholes recognize in women. I honestly can’t wrap my feeble feeeeemale brain around refusing to acknowledge or develop the most basic of human empathy.
Titianblue,
Something tells me your version is closer to the truth.
The confirmation bias is strong with these guys. They often seek out shallow and vapid women who are easily manipulated and then conclude that women are intellectually inferior. It’s not like one would have look hard to find stupid men either. There shallow mindless idiots everywhere. It’s got nothing to do with gender.
Then, when they accidently try to pick up an intelligent women, she’s boring for talking about the subjects that interest her instead of just deferring to him. So they just tune her out. Why do these douches even try to pretend that they were interested in having an intellectual conversation anyway?
This all boils down to these piss-pots trying to justify their appalling behaviour. The argument goes:
1. I treat women like shit.
2. It is horrible to treat people like shit.
3. I can’t be a horrible person.
4. Therefore women cannot be actual people.
He thinks you can own cats? Haha!
The more important thing is, of course, what did the cats think of him?
fromafar2013, I wonder if these guys have mothers! Do they compartmentalize women they’re related to from potential sperm repositories?
It’s like they’re all trying to win the “Biggest Asshole on the Internet” contest.
I would think that, once one starts to consider whole groups of people as less than human, then that would be a major wake-up call to start examining one’s ideologies. How does a person just say, “exterminate them all,” like that’s totally reasonable and morally just?
These people are truly, truly horrible people. It’s downright bone-chilling.
What’s the bet that “women can’t conceptualise philosophy” translates in real life as “women are bored to tears by your endless wanking about Nietzche et al and can do without your attempts to use philosophy to demean us”?
These guys are just like Mr Mybug with his “Do women have souls?” opening line, only even more tedious and disgusting.
@ Auntie Alias
I’m sure their mothers are in the ball park of 20-30 years older than they are, and therefore don’t exist (at least not as real women, but as some amorphous asexual other). These are the same chucklefucks for whom a woman hits a ‘wall’ and becomes unfuckable and unlovable at the magical age of 30.
Someone mentioned Nietzche …
These men make me ashamed to be a human at all.
Even PUAs agree that their ideas are explicitly about dehumanizing women. But don’t call it misogyny! That’s the REAL problem, that word.
I must say, though, that I really enjoy the rich irony of a dude using such atrociously bad reasoning to conclude that it’s women who are incapable of sapience. But then again, that’s pretty much a necessary condition to reach that conclusion.
Uh……Wasn’t the Rus’ invaded by the Mongols back in the 13TH CENTURY, at which point it ceased to exist and Ukraine and Russia diverged? That’s like arguing Istanbul is culturally Italian because it was once part of the Byzantine Empire.
This guy is so full of it. And what does her hair color have to do with anything, other than being lazy shorthand for “ditzy”?
Wow, blockquote turducken.
>Why the Ukraine and Crimea are Russian.
Tell that to someone from Western Ukraine or a non-Russian Ukraine anywhere, dipshit. They will very much disagree and not have sex with you either.
>Kieven Rus’
Does this guy think modern nations should be based on the political realities of the Middle Ages? If he’s US citizen and not a Native American, I’m guessing no. In fact if he’s defending Russia’s “annexation” of Crimea, I’d wager he’s a Putin fanboy.
>Tsardom, etc
So Lithuania, Poland and other countries that were part of the Russian Empire at one point are all Russian as well? If that’s what he believes, he avoid discussing politics when he’s on a sex tour in Eastern Europe.
Whoops, I momentarily forgot how to do blockquotes. I can’t even blame the Blockquote Monster, that’s on me.
*he should avoid discussing politics
I do wrong things.
Speaking of Putin, did anyone see Boris Johnson’s (yes that Boris Johnson) piece where the ghost of Stalin comes back and gives Putin absolute hell for not having all the chunks that used to be part of the USSR? That was a hoot.
