Hell, i know autism is the go to excuse for everybody, but quite a few incels suffer depression, autism, and body dysmorphic disorder. It's so prevalent it's actually in the wikipedia article.

It makes it extremely difficult to have and hold onto a relationship with one or more of those conditions.


And those people are almost certainly terrible.

Seek treatment because all of those can lead to you doing something terrible.

Two of those three are not curable, and the other one isn't curable for everyone.

Exactly. I believe these are the main issues. The growing objectification of men isn't helping.

Fair enough I suppose.

You feel bad about your dating life. No matches, or people. You may go on subs or websites of people feeling the same way. The pool deepens your resolve to find someone. But it doesn't work. Again and again you try, but it fails. Then you start looking at alone people subs. It deepens your sadness and you may relent in the dating game. It still isn't clicking. No one wants to start a relationship. Maybe you go on an incel sub or two, just as a comfort. Nothing much, you tell yourself. You try again. and again. It is still failing. You see these people who share one thing in common with you. Rejection. Love has not found them, or you. You start looking in more, and you're sucked into the hole. Soon, you just say fuck it and stop. There is nothing out there for me, you say. They're all keeping me down, you say. For this is the opinion of those very websites. Nothingness. Maybe you don't say fuck it. You go on a looks or personality usade and finally get a date. Then you start a relationship. You then break up in the nastiest way possible. This makes you happy, so you keep going, taking revenge for your percieved wrongs. Its almost addictive.

This is the Incel's beginning. Some will cope. Others will truly go mgtow. Others, though, will stay there, drowning in obscure acronyms, creating a self fulfilling prophecy of doom.

That's why I said seek treatment and not "take a shot of penicillin, you'll be fine." If you find yourself incapable of relating to another person or reading their social cues that's terrible, if your severe autism is causing it all you can do i seek treatment.

And you should, but let's face it - not everyone is going to find someone, and saying "you're a sucky person if you can't 'get' a woman" isn't helping. It's part of that feedback loop that i briefly referenced.

Person is unlucky or has a disability, and has trouble finding love.
Society says "You suck."
You isolate yourself from society because no one likes being told they suck.
The are even more unlucky.
Society says "you suck so bad it's not even funny."
You isolate yourself from society even more, but because all humans need some kind of interaction, you look for someone who will actually not tell you you suck.
You find an incel forum.
Society says "You suck and you're DANGEROUS!"
Incel forum says "it's not all you, society just sucks"
You find an ally against society telling you you suck all the time.


This is actually how extremism happens, and doubling down on "you suck" doesn't break the cycle of extremism - it reinforces it.

Caring less about women frees up that cognitive ability to care about men.

It also goes the other way and is self-reinforcing. If someone is single there must be something wrong with them, or so it goes, which means people are less likely to consider them, even if they don't care themselves.

There's some really dystopian things people do on this front.

I knew a guy in flight school who bought and wore a wedding ring even though he wasn't married and didn't even have a steady girlfriend. He swore it helped him hook up easier.

We stopped hanging out.

Nah, he could have always gone the Robert Kraft route.

Nothing came out that mrs Bezos wasnt putting out. Besides Have you seen Lauren Sanchez? If I were single I would do her in a heartbeat. You dont have to be unhappy in a marriage to want to do her.
