It's like the gods are force-feeding him pussy and he's spitting it out as if it was British food.

I do not sympathize.

Again, these posts harping on how he had all the material possessions for a player's lifestyle are completely missing the point.

Here's an analogy: To be a professional fisherman you need to catch fish. You can do it on a dock with a rod and bait, you can do it with a big ship in the ocean with kilometer long nets and sonar and charts. In either of these cases, you need to know what tools to use, how to use them, the correct time and the correct place to use them.

This dude might have had all the fancy tools for a player's lifestyle, but he didn't know the first thing about using them. Buying a BMW and expecting it to get you pussy when you're a kissless and friendless 22 year old is like buying a big fishing ship and expecting to get massive hauls when you've never even tasted fish let alone put bait on a hook. Expecting him to land pussy because he had those things is just as unreasonable as his expectation that possessing those things would land him pussy.

Usually for your first fishing experience you got someone to help you with the basics. Do you guys remember the first time you fished? Here's how to put a worm on the hook. Here's where you want to cast your line. Wait. Don't pull it out until you got a good bite, but don't wait too long or the fish will get away. If you fuck it up, you gotta start all over. Got a bite? Yank back! Reel it in. You got big wet flopping fish now, what do you do? Take the hook out. Now you can either throw it back, or get ready to gut and filet the thing for dinner. Either way congrats, you caught your first fish.

Actually sounds pretty similar to game. At some point in your life a male figure in your life should be dropping knowledge about women and the basics for attracting them, teaching you how to put the worm on the hook. At least, that's what should happen. Instead what we get are moms telling you to use fake bait instead of juicy worms because fake bait is nice and using worms is mean and hurtful, or the media telling you that your rod isn't big enough and you need a flashier more expensive boat, or groups of people that are against fishing entirely and think that a man should be happy with packaged and heavily processed frozen fish thats decades old, and still others that say that God made a special fish for you and you should just have one fish your entire life even if it smells and has a lamprey stuck on it. No wonder the kid didn't know how to fish.

I think I lost the analogy, but you get the picture.

He needed structure in his life, discipline, and being bullied (not too violently) by other men until he learned to be a non-awkward member of society. It also helps that in the military he would not have seen hot women for a while, which would probably have been good for him.

So, why do so many ex-soldiers commit suicide?

Long, and might seem a derailment, but i'll bring it back around to this guy at the end.

Ridiculous 'creeper' behaviour. It's a generational thing. I've been recently-theorising in my head that the huge difference in personality styles between Gen X and Millenial Girls is due to normalised mental dysfunction - specifically, the upbringing and cultural norms unique to girls under 30 has resulted in a generation of women whose attachment style in relationships could be mostly classed as Dismissive-Avoidant.

In layman terms: Dismissive-Avoidants were given overly-harsh parenting where their needs were ignored (all their free time planned out by helicopter parents chasing achievement from them), or indifferent parenting (absent father, narcissist mother who treats the child as an supporting character in her movie).

This means they pull away in relationships to minimise hurt and rejection. It's about giving the appearance of not caring, even though they do. They can't risk feeling genuine emotions for a guy, in case he rejects them. Unfortunately, pushing people away creates a self-fulfilling prophecy and reinforces their feelings of abandonment and worthlessness, since they're unaware that this is what they're doing. Result: depression.

The other styles seem to have fallen away, and Dismissive-Avoidants seem to dominate western culture. Some classic dismissive-avoidant distancing tactics, filtered through pickup:

- Bitch shield: if no-one gets through, I don't get hurt.

- Sarcasm: I'm pushing you away because you're beneath me. If you get close to me, you'll just reject me anyway.

- Vocal fry: you're sooooo boring. It's just soooo tedious having to talk to you. Leave me alone. Reject me.

- Rudeness and general cuntiness: I'm showing you my worst so you reject me, and therefore weren't worthy of my best.

- Inattentiveness in a conversation: you're less important to me than my phone. I want you to realise this. Reject me.

- Tinder and Hooking Up: the immediate physical need of sex without the risk of emotional rejection because, 'it was only a hookup anyway, they never lead to a relationship'.

- Independence: I don't need no man, (because he might reject me).

- Rebelliousness: Classic avoidant behaviour. I don't need anyone! I'll have my own life and own career so no-one can penetrate it. Also, I'll make myself deliberately unattractive to separate myself from 'normal', so everyone rejects me. This results in Standard Issue Girl Rebellion: stupid hair colours, stupid piercings, stupid tattoos and stupid ideologies.

- Idealisation: either of a past relationship or a fantasy construct of 'the one', both of which a real relationship can never measure up to, which excuses her from being invested in the current relationship.

- Disgust at grand displays of affection from a man: I don't deserve that. The more you show me you love me, the more I'll realise what I've lost when you reject me.

- Revulsion of any sign of neediness from a man: I'm unworthy and don't deserve that. These strong emotions make me uncomfortable because I have to risk caring for you back.

- Hatred of 'nice guys'. Same thing.

There's probably more if I think about it further. You can see how widespread and normalised this attachment style has become, which is why I consider Millenial Girls as innately broken when it comes to interpersonal relationships.

That being said, we're observant men when it comes to woman, so it's just a matter of understanding this, and game will need to adapt to compensate, because I'm sure you've been noticing the change over the last few years. (Unless you're lucky enough to meet a girl from a healthy background).

The most obvious adaptation: the person who cares the least in the relationship, wins. They're attracted to players, because we (initially) don't offer the threat of a serious relationship and the emotional risk that entails. (At least until the Oxytocin kicks in after regular sex sessions, when they'll start trying to reframe casual fun into expectations of a relationship).

I'll experiment with this further. Any older guys tried running married game with these type of girls? Would a fake wedding ring on my finger to signify that the possibility of emotional commitment is closed off from the get go actually help with these desperately-fucked up girls? Is that what we're basically doing when we hint that we're experienced players with women?

Like I said, we can understand and adapt our game to deal with this. Now, imagine someone who doesn't properly understand human emotions, behaviour and motivations, trying to comprehend. It's beyond their capacity. Mental dysfunction trying to make sense of mental dysfunction.

I'd expect more of these 'Incel Rage' outbursts from those who are classed as Highly-Functioning on the Autistic Spectrum.

Anyway, everything that needed to be said has been said. This is just a case of mismatched variables. The kid is rocking popped collar sweaters like some yuppie in a place where guys surf and roll around in RCVA tank tops.

As for PUAHate...well...:

RE: Elliot Rodgers shoots up California campus because he can't get laid
Damn, this is a really sad story.
To be honest, I think that if this guy had just one solid friend, and one person who had actually tried to help build him up and help him have a good time, this wouldn't have happened. Even getting a dog might have helped to give him a feeling of companionship and stop him feeling so lonely. I remember when I was 9, I'd moved to a new continent (USA to England), had no friends, was getting bullied at school, parents constantly arguing and was generally in a bad place, but spending time with my dog, and playing with him really helped me cope.

Shaking my fucking head.

For me, the sad part is knowing that there are so many other "incels" out there. Who knows how close they are to going off the deep end themselves?

RE: Elliot Rodgers shoots up California campus because he can't get laid
KorbenDallas mentioned the parenting aspect of this, notably the complete indifference on the father's part to realize that his son is an abject loser and do something to help.

One possibility is that the father is a hopeless sexless submissive doormat himself. However, you might accidentally connect the dots and wonder why modern marriage puts pressure on fathers to be beta toward the wife. This will never be discussed in the media.

Another thought is that he has a daughter, and therefore is a machiavellian white knight who will protect feminist ideals for the daughter's sake at the cost of the son. However, you might accidentally connect the dots and realize this to be a ridiculous cost of feminism. This will never be discussed in the media.

Or maybe he is gay and has no idea how to charm women. However, you might accidentally connect the dots and wonder if gays have something wrong with them. This will never be discussed in the media.

I hope you notice the trend that none of these are politically correct. There is a definite societal "emperor's clothes" here.

The media will portray this as a medical disaster around aspergers syndrome. Yet in reality that is a dead end, since there is no way to treat or predict or diagnose it. So second best it will paint it as a gun control failure.

RE: Elliot Rodgers shoots up California campus because he can't get laid
I always react to news like this. I have a distant cousin who survived taking three bullets from Cho at Virginia Tech.

Unfortunately, we've now reached a point in America that we're not even shocked by this stuff anymore. Luby's in Killeen, Texas, and Columbine shocked us. Now this stuff barely makes the news.

People like to talk about equality and inequality as well as the upper class, middle class, and lower class. Back in the 1930's, almost all men were in the sexual middle class. A man dated a few women as a teen, married one before the age of twenty, and then fucked the same woman for the rest of his life. Even a man with a low "social IQ" could expect to get married and have kids.

American women are cheap and easy, but they are only cheap and easy for men who know game. Now, we have the upper class, middle class, and lower class. The cheap and easy girls mostly fuck guys in the upper class. The guys in the lower class are revolting, and it's easy to understand why they are.

Nobody has asked one big question: what kind of relationship did he have with his mother? Men who look for love and for girl friends are often just trying to fill the void which has been left by a mother who was emotionally unavailable or just wasn't there.

His father doesn't look like he's that close to the Hollywood establishment anyway. His father Peter Rodger doesn't even have a Wikipedia page, for example. He may have had some women get close to him because of this, only to find that he couldn't help them that much.

I don't think he was looking for cheap sex. He was looking for love, and that is something that is much harder to find.

Here's what appears to be his mother's Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/soumaya.akaaboune

Here's what appears to be his father's Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/peter.rodger1

Observe that his father links to his mother, while his mother doesn't link back. And she doesn't use her husband's name.

RE: Elliot Rodgers shoots up California campus because he can't get laid
from a slate article..... like how they directly quote roosh but everyone else is just a member!

http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/201...ponse.html


Members of Pick-Up Artist RooshV’s forums piled on. “Game saves lives,” one member said. “I'm trying to think of ways our enemies will come after us because of this, but if anything, we're the solution to this sort of murder rampage,” Roosh himself weighed in. “He is self-delusional and massively entitled, but exposing him to game may have saved lives.” The site’s reminder about its comment moderation in the wake of the shooting is all about how to avoid infiltration by members of PUA Hate, not rooting out hatred in its own ranks. (At least one contributor was making some sense when he wrote: “No amount of game could have helped.")

There are probably way more of them than people realize. People who consistently have sex in the United States are actually somewhat of an anomaly. Here's a low quality source, maybe someone has a better one?: http://www.therichest.com/rich-list/poor...untries/8/

Quote:10 Countries Having The Least Sex
by Alex Matsuo on February 23, 2014 in The Poorest

3. USA – 53%

For the citizens of the United States, this is an interesting number given how sexualized is the media in the States. In an age where the Internet is very influential and porn is generally seen to be rampant in the States, it’s perhaps surprising that only 53% of Americans are having sex weekly – and about 48% of the people in America are satisfied with their sex lives.

The porn thing shouldn't be surprising. I've been saying for a long time that countries like the U.S. and Japan send so much traffic to porn sites precisely because people are undersexed there.

Actually if he was gay, he probably could have gotten laid a lot. Gay men don't care and are a "challenge," so women are all over them.

Here's a comment by "tinwoman":

Quote:Can we just cut to the chase and finally admit that 1) Hate movements against women exist and the MRAs and PUAs are two of them, and 2) Terrorism aimed specifically at women exists, and this is one instance, and the Boko Haram kidnapping is another instance, and that nut who killed all those female engineering students in Montreal is another one, and on and on..........

What is it going to take, exactly, for people to understand that women are politically targeted for oppression in all the same ways other groups are? It doesn't get much more obvious than being gunned down in the middle of a street by a stranger for the "crime" of being female.

The witch hunt has started...

We'll see. Watch this space.

That's the thing. The feminists with agendas might lie to tie this to us, but they're not the mainstream media.

Advertising interests mean they can't spin this to criticise the pharmaceutical industry.

Advertising interests means this also can't be spun as autism or aspergers, particularly as women who value careers over children are consumerist drones, and pumping so many of these kids out in their late 30's and 40's, that no-one in the media is ever going to even *hint* they're could be potentially giving birth to violent killers who lack empathy for others.

We annoy the Feminists, sure, but I doubt we've remotely on the mainstream agenda compared to Guns.

This will be a gun control issue first, and a vague mish-mash of the dangers that internet bullies pose to women second. Those are 'sexy' stories. Pickup-artists aren't. I imagine we're sort of like parkour or myspace. Buzzwords from a decade ago that might have lead to a story then but have the sense of having a layer of dust on them.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but it didn't seem like the media tentatively-prodding the Manosphere last year resulted in anything of use to them: it's vague and abstract and darkened shots of guys typing on keyboards doesn't make for sexy television. Not when there's celebrities slapping each other in elevators or rich people saying racist things.

So, hand-wringing op-ed pieces; people trying to lay blame somewhere for random violence; people trying to make sense of the senseless; calls for gun control; people saying what could have been done and what could be done in future; shooter is dead, so no death penalty / sentencing stories to extent the life; drift of attention after a week or so when a celebrity does something outrageous; only mentioned in future in infographic sidebars listing 'previous mass shootings' whenever the next atrocity happens.

EDIT: Why not focus on Youtube rather than PUAHate? He repeatedly posted on there. Why not blame Youtube for giving dangerous Narcissists an audience? Why not blame google for profiting on the affiliate ads that will benefit from people seeking out his videos today? Aren't they profiting from the death of women?

I don't want to give that Slate article too many clicks... just encourages them to write more BS.

Quote:The Pick-Up Artist Community’s Predictable, Horrible Response to a Mass Murder

Amanda Hess

On Friday night, a gunman killed six people in Santa Barbara, and the killer himself was found dead with a gunshot wound to his head. Soon after police began investigating the crime, 22-year-old student Elliot Rodger emerged as the main suspect. Like many modern mass murders, this one left a robust digital trail, including a video Rodger recently posted to YouTube where he parks his BMW in front of a bank of palm trees and describes his plan to seek retribution from the women who have rejected him. Rodger calls himself the “perfect guy” and a “supreme gentleman” who’s been overlooked by women who prefer “obnoxious brutes.” Then he lays out his plans to “enter the hottest sorority house of [the University of California, Santa Barbara], and … slaughter every single spoiled, stuck-up blonde slut I see inside there.” To “all those girls I’ve desired so much,” he says, “you will finally see that I am the superior one, the true alpha male.”

Rodger’s language is familiar to anyone who’s spent time exploring the Pick-Up Artist or Men’s Rights Activist communities. Rodger was a “Nice Guy,” a man who feels he is entitled to sex based on positive personality traits known only to him. (“I've wanted love, affection, adoration. You think I’m unworthy of it. That's a crime that can never be forgiven,” he said). He aspired to be an “Alpha," the most attractive, dominant man in his group, but felt he’s been wrongly dismissed as an inferior “Beta.” Pick-Up Artists, by the way, refer to women they would like to have sex with as their “targets.”

Rodger was also allegedly a member of PUAHate.com, a website for men who feel they’ve been tricked by the Pick-Up Artist pyramid scheme, which takes men’s money and promises to teach them how to have sex with women. (And not just any woman, but one who scores at least a 7 on the PUA decimal rating scale of female attractiveness.) PUA Hate is a community devoted to criticizing the Pick-Up Artist movement and “the scams, deception, and misleading marketing techniques used by dating gurus and the seduction community to deceive men and profit from them." It is not, however, interested in putting an end to the PUA community’s objectification of women; it simply complains that the tips and tricks don’t work.

When Katie J.M. Baker dipped into the site’s forums in 2012, she “failed to find one user who wondered whether women are unfairly targeted (as well as stereotyped, pigeonholed, and marketed) by the seduction community. Nope! On their predominately male, heterosexual planet it's the poor, gullible men who are the true victims.” It’s still “women in general,” she found, “who are the villains to these outcasts.” As one poster on PUA Hate puts it in his sign-off: “Women are a scam.”

I do not blame the Pick-Up Artist community (or its somehow even more deeply tortured counterpart, the Anti-Pick-Up-Artist community) for the deaths of seven people. The man who committed this horrific crime is responsible for this heinous act. But I was interested to see how these groups are reacting to the news. It is disturbing, if not surprising, that they are using these murders to reinforce their hatred of women and “Beta” men, and to cement their own status at the top of the pyramid.

When news of the shooting broke, PUA Hate members attempted to absolve themselves by critiquing Rodger’s sex appeal (“Short lower third and gay midface, with zero brow ridge,” one decided), ridiculing his mother’s looks, and scrambling to assert authority among themselves. (“Only high-T guys should be allowed to give advice here. Nich, can you add that as a rule?” one poster said). Another poster suggested that Rodger was such a Beta that no one would care if he’d murdered people. “Nobody gives a shit about some socially deprived, narrow-clavicle twink with a delusional sense of self. He's a poser,” he said. “Nothing will come of this, you sensationalist losers. Certainly not national coverage.”

The shooting, of course, made international news, and the forums that Rodger seems to have participated in quickly attempted to distance themselves from him by scrubbing his contributions. PUAHate.com shut down its forums “for maintenance” and rickrolled visitors. BodyBuilding.com, another site where Rodger allegedly posted, also deleted his contributions from its boards.

PUAs who were not immediately connected to Rodger were quick to capitalize on the news, suggesting that if Rodger had been a more devoted PUA protégé, they could have gotten him laid and prevented violence against women. A PUA site called Strategic Dating Coach—which sells DVDs on how to “turn a conversation with a woman sexual in no time flat”—commented on one of Rodgers’ YouTube videos, where he despairs about his dating life as he films a couple kissing in Santa Barbara. “THIS is why we do what we do,” Strategic Dating Coach weighed in. “TO PREVENT THIS SHIT!!! He should have gone to our website and got our personal dating coaching or purchased one of our products. IF ANYONE NEEDS HELP, CONTACT US! Don't ‘suffer injustice.’ ”

Members of Pick-Up Artist RooshV’s forums piled on. “Game saves lives,” one member said. “I'm trying to think of ways our enemies will come after us because of this, but if anything, we're the solution to this sort of murder rampage,” Roosh himself weighed in. “He is self-delusional and massively entitled, but exposing him to game may have saved lives.” The site’s reminder about its comment moderation in the wake of the shooting is all about how to avoid infiltration by members of PUA Hate, not rooting out hatred in its own ranks. (At least one contributor was making some sense when he wrote: “No amount of game could have helped.")

Why did seven people die in Santa Barbara last night? It would be wrong to pin the crime on Internet forums that indulge in self-hatred, then project it on to everyone else. But they’re certainly not the solution. Misogyny and violence against women is a social problem as well as an individual one. The fact that these men see “game” as the remedy to all personal and social ills is perhaps the greatest indictment of the way they view the world.

Regarding the bold areas:

1. Does anyone still call women "targets?" That was Mystery's thing, and I think he's finally moved on to some other phase of his life. Nice attempt to make all men involved in game look like horrible snipers of women.

2. The rating scale is ubiquitous. All men (in game or not) use it. Women use it to describe men as well, by the way. I'm not the biggest fan of it; I prefer to use Mark Manson's 1 or 0 (either I want her or I don't).

3. Yes, men with game hate women so much. So much that they make themselves better than 95% of all other men out there. Hell, I don't have astounding game, and I'm sometimes told "I've never met another guy like you." I hate women so much that I enjoy spending time with them.

Oh please. I hope that none of us hate women. I think some of us hate what some women do/have done to society and how contradictory some women are. But all in all, I think we like women. But since we don't show it in the "Beta" way ("Oh you're so pretty, let me buy you dinner so you'll sleep with me!"), society believes we don't like women.

RE: Elliot Rodgers shoots up California campus because he can't get laid
This is all deeply depressing but there is no way for anyone to rationalize an irrational action. He (Rodger) may have felt that women were his enemy because he didn't get the desired feedback, but the only enemy he had was himself. Years of social isolation leads a person to live solely within their mind and come up with notions that do not fit the reality. As others have said, if he had a (in-person) social circle where he voiced these thoughts out loud, he would have quickly been steered away from such thoughts.

That manifesto says it all, which strikes me as eerily similar to Anders Breivik. They each created an enemy and labelled themselves as victims who had no hope other than to inflict pain on those who they believed caused them pain.

I don't particularly enjoy the connections to game and this guy, but his internet proclivities lead to no other possible answer. However, the truly unfortunate thing is that people lost their lives because a young man couldn't handle who he was versus the expectations he had for himself.

He may have killed his 3 flatmates:

Alleged gunman's apartment now a crime scene


Quote:The Santa Barbara County Coroner's team has established a crime scene at the apartment complex where suspected shooter Elliot Rodger claimed he lived, prior to Friday's mass murders in Isla Vista.

NewsChannel 3 witnessed forensics experts removing three bodies from the Capri apartment complex on the 6500 block of Seville Road Saturday afternoon.

There is no confirmation from authorities whether this latest discovery increases the number of people killed, which stands at seven, including the gunman.

The timing is significant based on a more than one hundred page manifesto Rodger allegedly published hours before the killings.

LOL@ the walk of shame talk at 5:25. I did rowing at uc santa barbara, and when we would head to to practice on a saturday morning, we would sometimes see the girls walking home from the previous nights trist. IT was a thing of beauty to behold. She has her head down, wearing the same clothes as the previous night, her makeup is all messed up, she usually is cold and has her arms crossed.

Walk of shame for the win. Hell, if I could change my screen name again, I would make it "walk_of_shame"

RE: Elliot Rodgers shoots up California campus because he can't get laid
Here's one thing I am still unsure of from this incident:

If every sexless beta in the world took it upon himself to learn game, approach girls, lift, dress well etc, would it not simply feed women's egos and entitlement? So instead of occasionally getting awkwardly hit on by skinny fat, poor-dressed chumps, the average 7 would then be approached several times a day by extremely high value men. We'll have a society of men working to improve themselves for women who will get lazier and lazier while at the same time demanding more and more.

It reminds me of one of Roosh's articles: "How to be Great Man"

"We’re already experiencing some degree of it today. You’ll have to put in obscene amounts of work and be a masculine caricature to get basic sex...As you can see, being a great man is quite relative, and chances are you’re reading this from a country where women demand the most out of any female in the world. Soon, their demands will outstrip what the human male is even capable of."

Makes me wonder whether or not game really does help society. It seems to me like we are still plugged into the system except we are now into the top 10% of men while the 90% is left struggling (and occasionally have their release like Rodger)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BTW, I know what everyone's probably thinking: "Strong fourth post"
And you're right, I am still a rookie in the game and should not be concerned about this, but thoughts like these really do shake up your momentum and motivation to get better.

By the way, Santa Barbara is also one of these "enlightened" cities. They just banned plastic bags in stores.
