By now you’ve probably seen the latest set of creepy PMs that’s making the rounds of the internet — you know, that series of sour-grapey insults some random finance asshole sent to a woman on Tinder who had gently rejected his crude sexual come-on. If you haven’t, I’ve pasted them in below.
Well, it turns out that this would-be Romeo is not only an asshole, but a wholly unoriginal asshole at that. Thinking that more than a few of his angry negs sounded vaguely familiar I did a bit of Googling and discovered that a couple of his more, er, polished insults came straight out of the pickup artist playbook. Quite literally.
That bit where he tells the woman he messaged that she’s “not hot enough to be acting like this?” An old PUA neg he literally may have discovered by cruising the message boards at VenusianArts.com, the website of everyone’s favorite PUA peacock Mystery, where one commenter described it as his favorite line to use with “highly egotistical women” he met in the club:
I tend to be particularly harsh with megabitches, because I don’t really care if they are responsive to my negs and get interested or I blow them the fuck out.My favorite line to blow a bitch out is “you’re not hot enough to be acting like this.”
I’ve used it a few times, and it’s great. You get to blow out Alpha style, and if you don’t blow em out, sometimes girls even go into check and cool it on the attitude.
Used this line on a 9 once, TRYING to blow her out.
We ended up banging twice that night.
Sounds like SOMEBODY needs to get his messages sent to his mother! Seriously, it’s like a spambot. An angry PUA spambot.
And yet, he’s still more coherent than NWO.
Obviously this asshole just wanted to troll and insult. I can’t believe the idiocy that goes on through the internet. What a fucking douche bag.
Also, remember what I said about dudes thinking their genitals are orbited by the universe? Yeah. Dudes. Get over your damn self.
Holy crap, that series of messages is incredibly disturbing. How the hell does a man end up so broken that he thinks *that* is an appropriate way to act in any circumstance? Half the time I can’t believe these PUA chucklefucks buy into their own crap, because anyone smart enough to fleece the average asshole so well and for so pong can’t be a complete idiot… But then I see how deeply people like the above ridiculed jackass are invested in this shit and I have to wonder if the average asshole would be so willing to fall for this if the guys pushing it didn’t believe it.
David, you forgot to mention the Sex and the City reference. We all know how much MRAs, PUAs and MGTOWs all obsessively hate that show. Even though it ended ten years ago.
There are dudes who can totally wear guyliner and nail polish. There are dudes who can get away with doofy headgear and silly little chin-patches accented with a piercing on the same spot. And then there’s Mystery…who claims that idiotic lines actually get him laid, too. Twice. In one night. By the same gullible woman.
He’s not hot enough to be acting like that.
He’s not trying to get laid, that’s obvious. He just want to “blow them the fuck out.” He thinks he has the power to demolish womens’ self-esteem — which is hilarious!
What a deluded little fucker.
HAHHAHHA this is too good
I’m not sure anyone is hot enough to behave like that and still get laid. You’d have to be crazyhot.
Wait, that’s an actual image of the finance douche? For serious?
You’d have to be famous for something other than professional d-bagging. And even then, it probably wouldn’t work. Because that attitude would totally kill the average ladyboner.
I’ve encountered these guys in the flesh, the “but I make lots of money, let me tell you about my expensive car!” ones. They’re always so surprised when women just don’t care.
Let us all recall that glam rock and goth dudes were rocking the guyliner long before Mystery and his silly hat came along. He can taint lots of things, but not that, damn it!
(Is emotionally attached to the guylinered dudes of her youth.)
Funny, that’s not what her utter rejection of you says.
“Blow them out?” Seriously? Like women are tires? (Also, blow them out sounds like oral sex done horribly wrong.)
Also, unfortunately, it appears that in Ohio, I’m back on the hit-on-dar again. : At least the last guy was polite, just said he’d seen me around (true, I walk every day) and asked if I’d like to have coffee sometime. Dude had all gray hair though, and said this from his car, so I said no. He said it was just friends, and I said no again, because if you want to be my friend, you should try it on a day I am not crazy mcpsychobonkers and trying to hide from all humans.
He said okay, and that I was very pretty. I said thank you and walked away.
And then had a freak out because like I said, crazy mcpsychobonkers and really not fit to be around other humans.

Lies. Everyone knows that women just want a piece of that juicy, juicy wallet.
Does it have some chocolate hidden inside?
Or, like, maybe a really small burrito, that might work.
My god, cassandrakitty.
WALLET.
BONBONS.
Someone make this, stat! And make it vibrate too! It’ll be a license to print money!
I’ve gotten it from a guy who drove a shitbox, but had a poster of a gull-wing Mercedes on his bedroom wall. In my own defence, I WAS very young at the time. But I keep seeing all these PUA-ish tendencies in him when I look back. Of course, in the early ’90s, PUAs and their shitty websites were still a few years in the future. I have to wonder if there wasn’t some kind of hand-written cheat sheet making the rounds, because all this canned formulaic stuff just seems so…OLD.
Hey, LBT, nice to hear from you!
I’m in the Buckeye State too. Plenty of douchebags to go around.
I’m pretty sure ur-versions of the same lines were used on my granny back in the day too. The sad creeper gene is a strong one, seems like it’s not dying out any time soon.
They are effing using their great grandfathers negs? Srsly! Welp, alrighty then.
I have to wonder how that gene propagates. Because really, it’s the opposite of an aphrodisiac…
And yeah. They are their own grandpas!
Maybe it’s actually a virus and it’s spread when they open their mouths and heavy breathe on people.
