It's called "negging" -- a pick-up artist technique made popular by those "How to Pick Up Girls..." books from pre-Intarwebs days and always in fashion with the same sad shitheels desperate to be playas but you see sitting on the fence teetering between "creepy nice guy" and "red-pill incel".

It should also be noted that the women who typically fall for this type of thing tend to be women with self esteem issues, or other mental health problems, and most of these creeps know that.

A lot of these "pick-up artists" and their followers advocate for behavior that's effectively rape and gaslighting. Disgusting group of people.

rape.

That's a pretty big accusation. If stupid PUA bullshit works on a dumb bitch who chooses to fuck you, that's not really the same as rape my guy.

Women still have to make their own choices

Part of the PUA bs is not taking no to mean no. That's absolutely rapey behavior, and choosing to call people that are potentially vulnerable "a dumb bitch" isn't a great look my guy.

I'm not here to white knight women and treat them like they're some delicate little flowers who need to be protected at all times from all men. That's a bunch of horse shit.

There's a massive distance between white knighting and victim blaming.
