I think you have more social isolation now. People are more atomized and alienated. I think with the rise of internet in the 90s, you have a proliferation of echo-chambers where people will segregate into ideological camps to reinforce views like their own. For example, it’s no surprise that Eliot Rodgers spent time on PUA Hate. I just clicked onto the Sluthate.com which seems to be the re-branded PUA Hate and it’s still full of a bunch of bitter, dejected, morose men who just reinforce one another’s view of the world.
I went to Sluthate because some of my stuff got linked over there. Although it’s awful, it’s not nearly as awful as Game/PUA sites that recite the lies referred to above in the piece. Also the atmosphere on Game/PUA sites makes me want to smash my computer screen. I hate douchebags and some of the worst douchebags on Earth hang out at those sites.
Sluthate actually has a lot of good stuff. They are doing a lot of research on facial proportions, different types of smiles, different types of eyes, height and shortness in men, male ethnics vs Whites success with women, how wide your wrist is, on and on. They give a lot of great advice. A number of these guys are actually going off and having facial surgery done to make themselves better looking which I think is nuts but whatever.
And Sluthate takes a strong stand against the Game “looks don’t matter” bullshit and they are not opposed to Game theory. Many of them are red-pillers and they openly advocate red pilling up.
There are also endless threads on making yourself a better man, working out, diet, dressing right, how to talk to women, how to overcome shyness, on and on. Guys will post describing an interaction and say, “Was she flirting with me? and then everyone tries to answer. Sounds like a lot of them are trying to figure out how to get women and they are helping each other in the process.
Of course it is also full of furious, bitter, despairing men and that can be a bit hard to take. There are also many references to go “going ER.” I had no idea what that meant so I looked it up and all I got was “When should you go to the emergency room?” Finally I figured out that it means “going Elliot Rodger.” That there are so many topics referencing “going ER” is quite disturbing.
The worst thing about the site is some idiot with a gay porn gif of some guy sucking some other guy’s cock and this idiot posts in every thread. I almost want to join the site so I can block him and still read stuff. Assuming these guys are not queers, all gay porn on that site should be banned. They’re trying to help guys succeed in getting girls. not showing guys how to suck a cock better.
When Sluthate is more palatable and tolerable than Game/PUA sites, you know the Game/PUA sites are truly awful.
