PuaHate was a website that was initially intended to be an anti-pickup artist site and was created by a bitter former student of [[Real Social Dynamics]] named 'Nicholaus' in 2009. It originally contained a splash screen saying the forum was [[NSFW]] and all people under 21 should not enter, as well as a footer detailing all the media outlets who had criticized the site. | PuaHate was a website that was initially intended to be an anti-pickup artist site and was created by a bitter former student of [[Real Social Dynamics]] named 'Nicholaus' in 2009.

The site's users were divided into two broad camps.

The first camp were basically critics of pick-up artistry who were concentrated on the main "bash the scene" forum. The posts on this forum generally consisted of exposés of dodgy PUA practices such as charging several thousand of dollars for "game bootcamps" and the like, as well as posts mocking PUAs and posting their personal information. | ||
The second camp, concentrated on the "shitty advice forum", eventually started espousing [[LMS]], looks theory, nutrition and the red pill. Ideas developed on PuaHate include philtrum length theory, [[compact midface]] theory and its focus on fWHR. Over time, this camp became the dominant faction on the forum.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20151226053443/https://www.reddit.com/r/puahate</ref> | The second camp, concentrated on the "shitty advice forum", eventually started espousing [[LMS]], looks theory, nutrition and the red pill.
