'''PUAHate''' (puahate.com, also written PUAhate) was an English forum founded in '''2009''' as a board to mock pickup-artist (PUA) gurus and the men who paid them. Academic and press accounts name the founder as a former [[Real Social Dynamics]] student going by '''Nicholaus''' (also Nicholas in some write-ups).<ref name="pelzer">{{cite journal |title=Toxic language in online incel communities |journal=SN Social Sciences |year=2021 |url=https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s43545-021-00220-8 |access-date=10 September 2026}}</ref><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> It is the '''P''' in [[PSL forums]].

The joke ate the site. A subforum called '''Shitty Advice''' became the busiest room: looks theory, face ratings, rage at “game.” ''The Guardian'' (2014) called it a place for sexually frustrated men to vent and share theories about women, with a laissez-faire moderation policy.<ref name="guardian" /> It was not a self-identified “incel forum” in the later [[Incels.is]] sense, but the later dialect — [[blackpill]], hunter-eyes talk, harsh ratings — is PUAHate-shaped.

== Shutdown ==
Elliot Rodger posted on PUAHate and wrote about it in the document he left before the 23 May 2014 Isla Vista killings. Wikipedia’s Isla Vista article records that he used the board; the ''Guardian'' reported the same week.<ref name="guardian" /><ref name="iv">{{cite web |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isla_Vista_attacks |title=Isla Vista attacks |website=Wikipedia |access-date=10 September 2026}}</ref> '''24 May 2014''' the site went down. Users migrated within two days to [[SlutHate]].

This encyclopedia records the closure as history of the looksmaxxing dialect. It does not treat Rodger as a scene saint and does not reproduce his document.
