'''PSL''' is a sequence of internet communities where people discuss [[Looks theory]], [[Looksmaxxing]] and [[Redpill]]. The word '''PSL''' is an acronym for 3 consecutive forums that overlapped in userbase and prominent forum members: '''P'''uahate.com, '''S'''luthate.com, and '''L'''ookism.net. All three forums were well known for being full of stupid, disgusting, mentally ill degenerates who take pleasure in putting down others.<ref>https://www.independent.com/2015/02/20/elliot-rodger-report-details-long-struggle-mental-illness/</ref> None of these forums had sub-forums which self-identified as incel subforums, although the term was widely used in the "Shitty Advice" section of PUAhate, which was the most visited sub-forum the last few years of the site. Although the forums had origins in exclusive pick-up-artistry criticism, after the [[Elliot Rodger]] shooting, it morphed into a place to almost exclusively talk about how to improve ones looks to get dates on online dating. Lookism.net broke tradition a bit by self-identifying as an incel forum sorta around 2017, as well as becoming more sympathetic to pick-up-artistry.

A notable user of one of the forums, the mass shooter [[Elliot Rodger]], described PUAhate.com as being "full of stupid, disgusting, mentally ill degenerates who take pleasure in putting down others." <ref>https://www.independent.com/2015/02/20/elliot-rodger-report-details-long-struggle-mental-illness/</ref>  


A ''PSL rating'' is the number assigned to you on the [[decile scale]] from members of these forums when asking people from these forums to rate you.
None of these forums had sub-forums that were explicitly related to incel discussion, although the term was widely used in the "Shitty Advice" section of PUAhate, which was the most visited sub-forum the last few years of the site.
In spite of this lack of an explicit focus on inceldom, many users of the PSL network of sites were incel (to some degree or other), and the memes, concepts, and beliefs commonly espoused on these substantially influenced the culture of several subsequent incel forums.
 
Although the forums had origins in pick-up-artistry criticism, after the [[Elliot Rodger]] shooting, it morphed into a place whose main purpose was to discuss [[lookism]] and aesthetics, or to engage in internet trolling, often directed at the particularly credulous, often [[Asperger's Syndrome|autistic users of the forums]].
 
Lookism.net broke tradition a bit by self-identifying as an incel forum around 2017 and becoming more sympathetic to pick-up artistry (ironically due to the installation of a mod that completely rejected the validity of male looks as being the key to attracting women).
 
A ''[[PSL rating|PSL rating]]'' is the number assigned to you on the [[decile scale]] that members of these forums provide to users who request ratings.
