'''Love-shy''' (love-shy.com / love-shy.net in later talk) is an older English board for people who described themselves as unable to initiate romance — closer to the 2000s “love-shy” self-help frame than to 2010s [[blackpill]]. ''The Guardian'' (2014) counted a few thousand members when covering [[PUAHate]] after Isla Vista.<ref name="guardian">{{cite news |last=Parkinson |first=Hannah Jane |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/may/30/elliot-rodger-puahate-forever-alone-reddit-forums |title='PUAhate' and 'ForeverAlone': inside Elliot Rodger's online life |newspaper=The Guardian |date=30 May 2014 |access-date=10 September 2026}}</ref> Scene memory sometimes calls Love-shy the '''birthplace''' of incel talk and PUAHate the place it got teeth. It is not a looksmaxxing surgery forum. It is on this map because the later PSL boards did not appear from nowhere.<br />

Alana’s Involuntary Celibacy Project (1990s) is earlier still and is not this site.<br />
