There’s a couple of private trackers for STLs:

materialize.is (main)

cgpeers.to (to a lesser extent)

Binary Large OBject

It’s not that it’s a bad tool, it’s that

it also removes human bias element from the equation

is an impossible standard.

Oh yeah, classic case of “the dream of the oppressed is to become the oppressor”. I went through that subreddit a while back and was shocked to see how toxic and fucked up a mirror they’d made of incels.

Lots of advice on abusive relationship tactics and how to be effectively controlling and manipulative. It read like a bunch of sociopaths trying to outdo the redpillers. I sympathized somewhat because I got the sense that many of them were victims of abuse and considered it a way to ensure they wouldn’t be victimized again.

Serious “fight fire with fire” vibes.

Edit: Looks like that subreddit is dead now, and they’ve moved on to another platform. Maybe they were risking a ban due to all the rabid transphobia.

Sub Description: Effective dating strategy for women that know what they want and prefer to be able to take control of their dating lives. Also includes strategies to maintain a relationship that benefits you. Plus tips on how to deal with some of the negative strategies from men that you encounter.

Totally normal approach to dating. A relationship is a zero-sum game for domination and control. So why not play to win?

Really disappointed I didn’t see more complaining about the current meta. It’s totally pay-to-win.

There’s also the disturbing rise of “femcel” groups like /r/FemaleDatingStrategy, which seems to mirror the toxic ideology and tactics of incels. A large part of that is basically women doing the PUA thing to get a trophy husband, though that’s largely in economic terms (salary might be prioritized over looks).
