Thank you for this. I'm 37 and have never had a girlfriend. Outside of paid interactions, I have kissed one girl one time, and we were both drunk at the time, and that is the sum total of my experience with women. Much of this was caused by extreme anxiety. I was practically phobic when it came to anything to do with dating, sex, and relationships. I slowly overcame that, and now have very little problems with anxiety. I really do not want to associate with the incel community. I interacted with them a lot about 10-15 years ago, but most of them (or at least the most vocal) seemed like they did not represent my feelings on the matter. I certainly don't hate, or even resent, women. I believe they have the right to do what they want, and if they don't want me, then that's their prerogative. My main issue is what this is doing to me mentally. As the years and decades go by, I find myself becoming more and more lonely. Most people do go through dry spells, but comparing their experiences to mine is like comparing the heatwave a couple weeks ago, to the Sahara desert. People who go a year or three without any form of intimacy simply cannot understand how bad this can feel. It's not that you just feel frustrated, or a bit lonely. It's that you feel unlovable. You feel worthless. You feel as if you're missing out on a massive part of life that other people seem to be able to take for granted. And as the years go by, that old adage of 'You'll find someone eventually,' becomes more and more empty and insulting; furthermore, I'm forced to ask the question, 'when?' when I'm 90 and my life is practically over? Or would it have been the week after I've killed myself? Finding someone 'eventually' is no consolation when 'eventually' is too late. I have taken what advice I can. I have improved myself to the point that I have a job I like that supports me, and I rely on no one but myself. I have various hobbies and interests that keep me entertained, and it's not just gaming (in fact I do very little of that), and I have ambitions of becoming a writer, and have made many necessary steps towards that goal. I have overcome my anxiety to be more confident person. I have gone on dating sites and apps, and can be swiping right all day and not get a single match. I can message women with more than just a simple, 'Hi.' My message also shows I've read their profile, but I don't get a single response. I go out with family or friends, and I don't meet many new people. The times I do, I never meet any single women. I've also been given the advice to stop looking and you'll eventually find someone. I don't understand how you can find something without looking for it, and this advice appears to be saying 'Stop looking, and a lady will fall into your lap.' Though I only really took this advice by default because I essentially gave up. Now, I'm in a position where most things about my life are good, but there is this empty space that cannot be filled by porn or escorts or any amount of platitudes such as 'you don't need a woman to be happy.' My life is now looking like it will be a very lonely one, and though I have no plans to end it at any point, I cannot say how badly this will affect me in the future.

Hey. I read your comment, and it moved me. I can't explain why. I am not in the same boat as you, but I feel your loneliness and can recognise it deeply. It's harder to meet new people later in life, I have found. I am 28 and feel so lonely a lot of the time. As you get older, people begin to settle into their own lives with their own families and so are less inclined to be out making new friends, whereas when you're young you're part of all sorts of programs and events and you go to college and uni and school and are constantly mixing with a wide variety of people, making it more likely to meet someone romantically and develop a relationship. I guess when you have spent your younger years being extremely phobic of sex and relationships (a fear of rejection maybe?), you miss out on a lot of opportunity to develop a relationship or have friendships. Then when you get older it's just that much harder. I do think staying in one place is also probably a factor in not getting anywhere. I think travelling, especially in a group, exploring, taking volunteer opportunities abroad, or just in other counties/states/etc (no sure where you live) will help you meet new people and broaden your horizons. I honestly think it's about meeting new people and being introduced to other people and it just snowballs from there. Like you say you have ambitions of being a writer - there are these cool writers retreats and writing agency events and festivals you can go to, meet other writers and like-minded people. I know my advice probably sounds stupid, as I am not in your shoes and cannot possibly relate to or understand what you are going through, but I am writing this because something in your words struck a chord within me and I just wanted you to know that you may feel lonely, but you're never truly alone. I hope you manage to find your happiness and peace.

My heart goes out to you, man! FWIW, I'll say the 'stop looking' advice doesn't really mean stop looking. It means stop seeming as if you are looking. You have to be out there, exposed socially, but just not giving a damn, just being who you are regardless. That's why dating apps are the absolute last place certain guys, probably most average guys, should be. It's not a place where the 'dance' can happen naturally or at all. As you know. Best of luck.

I know how you feel, I felt the same way until I was on the verge of turning 31. I had my first kiss and relationship at that age. I used a dating app, but that was 10 years ago and things have grown even more difficult since. I have been through a number of more or less short relationships since then, and what they taught me is that the two things you need the most to attract someone are, at least, to project confidence and to know whom might be receptive to your charm. Once you’ve got those two things down, then finding someone will stop being that much of an issue, but you really have to work on your fear of being unlovable. That’s what worked with me and I even managed to end up in a stable relationship, and still there are parts of my life that are far more messy then yours. I wish you good luck, I am sure you can do it.

Guess what, mate, you are worth far more as a human being than just your sex drive. I was an " incel" woman for decades and fell into abusive short term relationships because of alcoholism. I finally cleaned up and found my "Mr Right" at the age of 50. So hang in there, the old saying " there's somebody out there for everyone " really is true. And if you find your Mrs Right who doesn't want her own kids, what is wrong with adopting?

I think the fact that incels are ~30% autistic is a crucial piece of information that was glossed over .This is a stark overrepresentation compared to 2% in general population. Many incels have extreme difficulty with *all* interpersonal relationships. "Normal" people like the people in this video might not fully appreciate how much more difficult it may be for many incels to actually "go out" or "just say hi" etc. Many incels fail to make a single (non-sexual) friend, for instance. "Normal" people try to empathize and this leads them to an immense failure of understanding, socialization in all contexts is simply a completely different ballgame for autistic people.

As a black woman who dwells in the sectors of anti-wokeness, self-development, evolutionary psychology, etc., I apply these ideas to the black community. Most people know about the crime rate, out of wedlock birth statistics, unemployment rates, etc. These statistics make most inner cities uninhabitable, but the community is not this way because of our skin color, but because we don't adhere to the same norms as other groups. During the interview, someone said most men can't victim their way out of things, but specifically in the black community, men can. Black girls and women are indoctrinated from birth to coddle black men and put them on pedestals because they deal with racism and the world outside of the community will beat them down. Now we have a community of men who degrade their women in rap for money, walk away from their children and the women get blamed for their abandonment, and they kill each other with the same regard of killing an insect while innocent bystanders catch stray bullets, and everyone looks the other way. Nobody in the black community expects men to be accountable or responsible for anything and that is why it is now a nightmare. Take it from someone who has experienced it my entire life, these incels need to be brought into the fold and encouraged to be responsible for their own lives or things will become unbelievably problematic.

Hi there,black man here. I am tired of this rhetoric of 'men being coddled'. I am responsible, have no children and ai have worked legally my entire adult life. I have not lived at home since I was 19. My single mother lost us our home as she refused to cooperate with local authorities. She has no income and we were forced to live in poverty mostly due to her decisions. I have zero sympathy for single mothers. They take one of the most important decisions a woman can make (who will be the father) and waste it on men who clearly are going in one direction down. But hey they're 'G's though right? Women make bad decisions them blame all men (including the one's they overlook) for the consequences of their decisions. Black men either have to be Uber successful or thugs to get a woman who is not obese. It appears to be the same story across all races of women. The truth is most women fund stable men boring which is why they have these issues. Single mothers (outside of rape of course) deserve no sympathy. My mother even told me I was conceived thru rape but my younger sister was conceived thru love (same father). Maybe you have an explanation for this because I don't!

Accurate. And that’s why it pisses me off that black men repeat white incel stuff. They have no clue what white men are going through. I think black men feel they are better than black women and are bitter about being “stuck with us” so they don’t want to put in any effort cos they feel we aren’t worth it and don’t deserve it. I also think they resent us for making life and sex easy for them because it’s emasculating (even though they could choose to do better). It wasn’t surprising that his work in the UK showed that men were upset that white women didn’t want them lolol

@@crazytown1146 your comment as well as the original post has many points worth considering. I suspect not as many blacks subscribe to the victim narrative, as the media often peddles but, I'm certain there is a fair number who does. Some of this is undoubtedly comes from within the community as well as from the outside. I say this because as a native American I occasionally get mistaken for Hispanic and, sometimes it's accompanied by a huge animosity for not acting Mexican enough. This never happened when I was young but has been happening with increasing frequency over the last ten to fifteen years. I've been told not to be ashamed of their culture. And I've been told I act too white. I even had a death threat over it because he refused to believe I was anything but a "wet back" like him. That was his words to describe himself and it's made me hesitant to be around any numbers of Hispanic people because I'm not certain one might not try and carry out that threat someday. And I've seen how some black people display this same animosity for one's who don't act black enough, though they tend to use a different word. I suspect there is nothing "white allies" can do to help with these internal tensions and most what the "progressive liberals" are doing is only making it worse. I don't know that any of this matters but, this whole comment section and video is more than I can process right now. I need to sleep. 🖖

I'm not an incel, I'm involuntarily single though. I always had control of myself, so not having sex has never been a problem for me, it's the fact I'm not married and having kids that's more of a problem. I'm hoping moving from the west coast could change my chances, because I was shocked to find that every woman I dated on the west coast didn't want to have a family. They were fine with dating me, having a relationship (one or two of them would have probably been fine with getting married), but they didn't want kids, so I broke up with them, because I'm not going to be trapped in a voluntarily childless marriage, I would rather be single.

I'd never thought of myself as being an incel but that initial description - Black pill really hit home. I'm 46 never had any kind of romantic coupling, never kissed a girl (apart from from when i've paid for such things). I went on a date once but it turned out it was for a bet she had to go out with ugliest guy she could find. I've never felt like someone that a female would want. I was born with a severe club foot which after several operations meant i can walk but my foot does not look like the other, the leg was shorter so gave a limp and i was bullied at school because of it. At age 10 at secondary school i had to have false teeth as not all my new teeth were to come through, so the was something else that was noticed by my classmates (and girls). At 14 i had my first serious thought of suicide, after that i've always had that in the background. I tried dating apps but only time any talked to me was because they'd pressed the wrong button, i tried counselling - she told me to approach a woman when she was out shopping and talk to her, even i know how creepy that would be. I've seen all my friends partner up, marry and have kids- i've been on anti-depressants now for 8 years - am morbidly obese but when i went to the gym i found out anti-depressants can really hinder weight loss. Like an earlier poster said i feel worthless. For years i heard the 'you'll find someone eventually' but now that has turned into 'you don't want a woman' from my male friends who are in relationships. I see everyone else in relationships and have always just assumed i am defective in some way that means i don't deserve any thing like that, i fantasise about having a wedding ceremony, being in love and being able to spend time with someone who wants to be around me - but its all just imaginary. All the women i've ever liked only 'liked me as a friend' I had thought to my self that at least my best friend of 20 years and i would grow old together just being two grumpy old sods. She died in Nov 21 due to illness - and now i'm really lost. I don't know how effect the change to find someone, I know i'm now in the age bracket for the most likely to kill themselves and honestly the only thing that is keeping me here is going home to help with my elderly parents - other than that i could vanish tomorrow and i don't think many would notice. i don't want to - i want to love and be loved - but if this is all it will ever be then its maybe best

A friend of mine came to my wedding; she was approaching 40 and she told me she was taking time off to revaluate he options, her life and what she wanted, where to live etc. A key thing she said was she was asking herself if it was worth devoting her life to a company that probably didn’t care about her welfare. I formed a theory that when you’re overworking and over-striding in your job you’re unable to see how diminished your life is, or even what you want long term, because you are stuck in the short term fix of making it to closing time - locking into work mode from 5am to 7 at night with little life outside of it. I believe women (and some men) have the opposite burden of too much purpose in the work context. They get so consumed as career people they don’t realise what they’re sacrificing until it’s too late and the ship has sailed for them, and all because they were told the importance of self empowerment through achieving independence from men. It’s certainly not a balanced focus in life.

Things that you guys didn’t mention: 1. Growing obesity: both male and female-and thus decreasing attractiveness. 2. Cultural shift: The culture is pushing both boys and girls in directions that are less appealing to the opposite sex. 3. Growing fatherlessness: 70+% of US black kids are now born out of wedlock, with fewer male role models. 4. Satisficers vs. Maximizers: Larger candidate pools (e.g. larger cities, online dating) mean that maximizers (1/3 of the population) will invest more time in the mate search. 5. Taxation and redistribution: Less attractive males could work harder to make money and become marriageable, but their income is increasingly taxed away (and some is transferred to single-mother families, a.k.a. tax cuckoldry). We’re facing a population crash.

It is sad that this phenom is a growing problem among men so young. It has been going this way a long time in Japan, there the name is not Incels, but Hikikomori and is characterised by pulling inward and shying away from society and the outside world completely. Feelings of failure for familial expectations, career capability, and lack of desire for relationships/marriage are at play there too. And of course in Japan, the suicide rates are off the chart. For a while there have been obvious trending patterns in the UK that follow Japan. Spiralling costs of property, increased levels of personal debt, job security and prospects slowly declining.... these are all factors that negatively effect someone's outlook, particularly if they're disadvantaged in one facet or another that would maybe help you succeed. Add to this 2 years of lockdown and it would not be surprising to find this accelerated the problem for young men.

I'm 50. I remember being told aged 8 by a teacher that men were sexist because they couldn't accept a partner who earned more than them. Now we learn that just 5% of women will accept a 'house-husband', i.e., a man who earns less than them. Generations of piling criticism on men (and even young boys), while absolving women of any responsibility seems to have created an imbalance.

I was an incel for about 20 years. The name didn't exist then. I didn't hate women, just came to the conclusion that finding a partner was looking increasingly unlikely. It does lead to unhappiness because most of us would like a meaningful and fulfilling relationship with someone we find attractive. The main problem is that society is inherently dishonest about how attraction works. All that blue pill rubbish in films where the good guy wins. Things have accelerated in the last few years ever since Instagram and Tinder took hold. I used to be pretty open minded about feminism too, but a lot of it is clearly toxic towards men, to the detriment of both men and women.

Hard disagree on the idea of waiting until you're 30 or older for men. As you age, experience becomes far more important as a factor in what people seek for a relationship.

And divorced men outnumber single men once you reach your late 30s.

It's its own beast and you have to gather as much info as possible to make it through. Haven't dated since 2015 and I don't blame women or the dating scene itself for my own failings. If I want to try I can give it a go. Rejection, preferences, and bad apples are there and it's up to the individual to make it work. There are positive incels or just people who just had the difficult end of the stick living a normal life and just going with the flow of life. The bad apples who are these deep-state incels are the ones the media love to chastise. I am just a man and I go my own way.

Blaming their lack of “effort” is just victim blaming at this point and cruel where they waste effort on a false promise.

And no, I didnt tell anyone to find a gold digger, i asked you a question which you conveniently didnt answer.

Women can get resources themselves. But kids aren't raised by resources. They are raised by parents. Resources just provide added stability which is important for children. But children need emotional stability, family stability, parental stability, discipline, role models, etc. Not just financial stability. Women thinking they don't need men because of career opportunities is one of the biggest mistakes they could ever make.

This is one interesting interview and your guest has brought up excellent points about incels that I can agree but I would like too add my thoughts on incels on how they are often portrayed as mass shooters to an exaggerated while ignoring how many of them are depressed, self-loathing, suicidal and actually killed themselves? This shows that no one pays attention to men that are depressed, disenfranchised, desperate and dysfunctional until they turn violent. The rejection isn't the issue with incels but it's more like them being ignored, disrespected and dehumanised for failing to meet women's standards and it seems those are being conflated with rejection as to justify for them to be insulted and treated poorly. In my opinion, these incels come across as rather angry than hateful due to being ignored, disrespected and dehumanised if they weren't good enough to meet women's standards. The issue with incels is that they idolise women too much as they see them as the focal point of their happiness and if these incels do hate women, then why do they based their identity on the opinions of women? Even though men, specifically incels are told "no one owes them anything" not even support or compassion? Then one would wonder why these incels won't bother contributing to society and withdraw from it entirely.

I’d say only a tiny fraction of involuntary celibates fraternise and feel part of a community. The rest of us are just individuals too unattractive to get a date, it seems. I was mid 30s, 6ft tall, full head of hair, great career, above average income, learning languages, well travelled, and frequently received comments from friends and family how fit I looked. Which I was. Still an incel for those years. I spoke with a lot of women who seemed to enjoy my company but it never amounted to anything. One girl asked me back to her place after a big night of drinking and hitting it off (so I thought) but once we were inside her apartment she said “oh btw, don’t think that anything is going to happen”. Yeah, no worries I said and carried on having fun with our chat until saying good night and leaving. Thats the life of an actual incel. Not all this online black pilling and resentment. It’s ordinary blokes getting rejected. Just a fact of life for many men.
@TheC-O-D-Y-Project
@TheC-O-D-Y-Project Год назад
@ O.C.: There's a bit to unpack here. The statement this woman made is a verbal cue to look at here body language, not at the words in that sentence. Some people refer to this as a 'shit test', but it's not really. It's a responsibility test, more accurately. And essentially, all supposed incel-dom is around the ability to quantify and negotiate responsibility as a man, which regardless of consent laws, divorce conditions, etc, remains on the man. Always had, always will be. That statement was to get you to take every last bit of responsibility for what happens, and it's up to you to decide what parameters fall within that. These will include her safety and her happiness, and if she defines those as being sated at the time, that statement has been correctly negotiated (by you, for her) to whatever you do with her from that moment. By your actions, you negotiated this moment anyway. You were responsible, but you have left her safe. but not happy or sated. I'm guessing by the the comment structure that you have nearly no chance of maintaining a friendship with this woman despite having no quarrel with her to the point of goodnight? If you do, then her friends have a chance at you, and has been vetted by this woman as 'old style respectful'. That has cache. But again, your comments hint at a brute force method of trying to get laid, not trying to obtain a relationship through as many contacts that are potentially available (a business/customer service thinking approach). None of the above says that you should've made a move on this woman even if the body language betrayed the verbal shut down. The issue is the level of responsibility that us men have to biologically carry, no matter the circumstance or the supposed society re-wiring. Your conversation, your intent, your plan, your goals, etc. It's all on you. It always has been (sorry for the Never Back Down movie quote, but it's actually ridiculously true!). True InCels appear to lack this ability or lack their recognition of it early in life (and some will understand this and correct their own problem) and that coincided with some other usually physical factor that provided an easy cover for instead. Some are neurologically incapable or are non-fully responsibility functional, some are but need to be unlocked by some input, either direct instruction or other praxis based approach (counter intuitive unfortunately).

@@TheC-O-D-Y-Project thank you for such an insightful comment. You have impressively articulated what friends said to me “dude, she wanted you to chase her. She’s already invited you inside at 2am, she wants you to lead from there on so that A) she feels desired and B) she doesn’t feel like she gave herself away. Kinda like a shit test, as you said. Meanwhile, others tell me that No means No and that I did the right thing by leaving. I left her safe but I can’t assume she wasn’t happy or sated. She might have been very happy leading me on just to shut me down. Some people are cruel like that. On her body language : she invited me to sit while she made us drinks. I sat on the only couch. A large 3 seater couch. She emerged from the kitchen with cups of tea, handed me one, and sat on a chair across the room from me. After a some more chatting I jokingly remarked “you know, there’s an awful lot of comfy couch going to waste over here.” That’s when she said “yeah I know but I don’t want you to think anything is going to happen “. She physically distanced herself from me for the first time that night. She wasn’t smiling coyly. She seemed serious. I wasn’t just out to get laid. I thought it might be the beginning of a relationship (prior to the rejection). I hadn’t had any romantic encounters for years at this time so I was very excited but not surprised when she shot me down. I didn’t ask for her number as I figured she would refuse and that it would make things more awkward. I continued to chat as we had been until my tea was finished. I said goodnight and left politely. This is just an example of life as an incel. There’s plenty more that span over years of rejection and bad encounters. I’ll give you another: I was in Copenhagen travelling alone. I met a girl from my home town in Australia by total chance. We both happened to wander into the same bar. She was also travelling alone. We hit it off. Had a lot to drink, went out for dinner together, back to the bar for more drinking. Having a great time. She invited me back to her hotel. Firstly, at the hotel bar, and then up to her room. She told me to get into bed while she made a phone call. I Stripped down to boxers and got into bed. She called her boyfriend. Apparently he had cheated on her while she was away. She was exclaiming “I’ve got a man in my bed right now!”. After, she called her mother to let her know she was safe and that she had a guest in her room. I should have left but I was drunk, tired, it was 3am and I had no idea what part of town I was in. She eventually climbed into bed but slept fully clothed above the covers. We never touched. In the morning I left. On another occasion, I was in Berlin. I bought some concert tickets on eBay. The seller, a girl a few years younger than me delivered them to my hostel. We had a nice chat. She seemed sweet. Two days later she contacted me and asked if she could show me around her city. I accepted and we spent the whole day together. I invited her to a dinner some of my friends who were also visiting Berlin had organised. We went back to her place so she could change. Romantic tension was building. After dinner we all went out clubbing. From then on, I was invisible. She locked on to my more attractive mates and wouldn’t even talk to me. My friends gently refused her advances. Some had girlfriends or weren’t attracted to her. Either way she was rejecting me. In front of everyone, no less. Weeks later she emailed me to ask when I was coming to Berlin again. I said I didn’t want to see her because of how she treated me. She acknowledged that she had behaved poorly and apologised citing drink and her recent breakup with her boyfriend as reasons. I may be an incel but I have more self respect than date a girl who drops me at the first sign of a more attractive man. Even tinder dates. One girl in Japan told me that nothing romantic would happen on the date in our tinder messaging. I didn’t know if it was Japanese modesty or language, or a shit test. We met, had dinner, a couple drinks. She seemed to enjoy my company, laughed at my jokes etc.. while we were laughing I playfully enquired about her no romance comment as we were clearly getting along well. She stopped laughing and smiling and told me she was serious. And she was. We continued to chat and laugh but once we were outside she coldly said bye and left. Left me standing there like a stunned mullet in the middle of the walkway amongst hundreds of Japanese party goers. Another girl on tinder in Japan invited me to a salsa dance club. She was the dj. She danced with me, taught me to salsa, had fun with me. But I noticed other western men there. When I spoke to those men they said she had invited them on tinder too. I felt another lead on and rejection coming so I left. I speak Japanese , but even so, it’s very difficult to find romance in Japan. They’ll call you kakkoii (cool looking and handsome) and seem to enjoy your company, they’ll even flirtingly touch your arm (I have nicely sculpted arms) but when you ask if they’d like to meet for dinner or coffee sometime they firmly refuse stating the classic “let’s just be friends”. It’s happened to me countless times. One Japanese girl spent the day with me, accepted an invitation back to my hotel restaurant. Had a couple drinks, but when I suggested we go upstairs to continue our chat, she refused. Another Japanese girl came to my hotel room (small rooms with no where to sit) but refused to sit on the bed with me. She didn’t seem uncomfortable. She stayed for a while chatting until I walked her back to her subway station. I could go on and on. So you see, this results in years and years of being single and inceldom. Guys like me, we aren’t in a community, there’s no philosophy to it and we aren’t monsters. We’re just dudes who no one wants to get romantic with. We attempt to take responsibility and lead, escalate, as well as be chill, have fun, make the girl feel safe while having a laugh. But if they ultimately don’t want romance with you, what can you do?

Honestly a way to help a lot with incels is for society to stop lying about how things operate. Men and women aren't the same. Never were. Never will be. If young men knew from an early age "Hey, you have absolutely no intrinsic value as a man. Women have intrinsic value. The rules for you are different and you're going to have to work your ass off." then it wouldn't be a sudden slap in the face that makes them angry. Yes in the 50s assortative mating was more of a thing, but men back then also understood and accepted from an extremely young age that their value as a member of society and a mate was directly tied to achievement and hard work. It's no coincidence that most incels are NEETs. It's _really_ hard to instill those values after you've spent a decade or two getting the same message the girls have that you're special just the way you are. Men aren't. You're fucking _nobody_ until you work your ass off, and until you accept that down to your bones you'll continue to be frustrated.

Houllebecq talks presciently about the market liberalisation of relationships for want of a better phrase; that a very small number of people of both sexes are having a lot of sex, whereas a lot of other people who are less attractive are now having very little or nothing at all. He makes the analogy that more traditional forms of relationship creation in other societies - i.e arranged marriages - at least provide those with nothing with something. Our individualistic direction in western society has provided some people with some very rewarding relationships, but it does appear that our desire for perfection, sharpened by the internet, is creating a difficult situation. I know that up to 20 years or so ago, workplace relationships were very common and were a common route to marriage; but I wonder whether these are now as commonplace.

Very interesting. I used to be an Incel (though the term didn't exist at the time). It was and still am a very shy and introverted person. But instead of watching porn i practised playing the guitar. I gained a reputation and a lot of stage presence. Suddenly women started to approach me without myself having to do anything and in a very short period i switched from an Incel to a womanizer (never a chad more of a romantic bohemian loser). So yeah it has a lot to do with status. But after a some years i realized i was even unhappier than before. I calmed down became married and had a family with a lovely daughter ( so glad she exists, the best thing that could ever have happened to this world). But it ended in a divorce. Now i am a "Vincel". I completely quit the mating game by own free decision. And i am happier than i ever was before. I absolutely can relate to women who choose to stay single . Something is not better than nothing. I had to learn that. My advice to actual or potential Incels: Be calm. Become a stoic. Accept yourself and that nobody, especially women does owe you shit. If you manage that things will fall into place. When you start resting in yourself you will be the one who makes the choice.

28:48 It's nice and easy to sit there and judge those whose shoes you've never walked in, nor any shoes for that matter that carried nearly the same burden. You imply that no incel has ever done any self-improvement, you frame it as if incels just have never tried, have never put in the effort or work, on what grounds? How can you possibly know that? I dedicated over a decade of my life to self-improvement, particularly with my social disability, pouring my blood, sweat and tears into overcoming it, believing (correctly) that it was the number one obstacle in my way to a normal life, and a relationship. And where did that get me? Of course I gave up. Why shouldn't I? I have that right! After dedicating so much of my time and life to improving and trying to get out, and finding that my improvements are getting me nowhere, or that I can no longer improve, why shouldn't I quit while I'm ahead? Why shouldn't I pull my bets from an investment that is just not paying out, and looks like it likely never will? But people like you sit there, and judge me, and presume to "know" that I've done nothing to get myself out of this situation. Becoming incel wasn't my identity while I was trying to escape the fate my poor genetics have trapped me in; it was the relief of quitting after a lifetime of constant, unending failure. You know nothing of what it's like to be me. You know nothing of what I've been through, and what I've done or not done to get out. You therefore cannot presume to know better than me what is best for my situation and how I got stuck here.

Even if you aren't an "incel", it's not hard to see why it draws some men in. Marriage is too risky, sex has no value, "family" is almost a swear word to a feminist, buying a house is a pipe dream for most, the state does everything in it's power to wrest control from the individual, poly relationships are becoming more and more common (again, no consideration on what impact this has on raising children). Even women are becoming fatter (unless you are a fat fetishist, this is NOT a good thing)! Traditional values of family and real friendships are being harpooned. I'm not sure this is as "involuntary" and the media make it out to be, it's not like the reward is worth the risk.

I think also men can be put off marriage because he could lose almost everything in the the event of a divorce. Also even dating can be a minefield for men as they can so easily have the finger pointed at them accusing them of rape. I don't blame them for opting out. I just wish they didn't hate women because of it as we're not all harridans.

Well, don't go for a feminist, there's one problem solved. Polygamy is still INCREDIBLY rare, particularly in western nations. Like he said, most women don't want to share. Sex of course has value, you just need to find a woman who, shock horror, isn't going to be easy to get. Or on the flip side, don't discount a woman who is looking for commitment based on her previous promiscuity. The continuation of your bloodline and having a partner far outweighs whether some is fat or not. Maybe some men just don't want it bad enough. Everyone compromises.

Absolutely fantastic interview. So few people understand incels like this, and I think most people choose to be ignorant because they feel like trying to understand what incels really believe and why legitimizes the community, so to speak. At the core, the incel problem originates with a lack of emotional intimacy, including from friends and family, and a lack of success in pursuing that intimacy. The desire for belonging leads to them falling into the echo chamber, and the idea that they will never succeed in spite of all effort leads to a strong sense of learned helplessness. These men are hurt and need help, and the only thing society sees fit to do is to shame them and deny them the help they need.

If we did not teach peop l e to read, would we be surprised if some people could not read? If we did not teach people to drive, would we be surprised if some people were ineffective drivers? There is no education available on this field. Why are we surprised some people are bad at it? Why is there no education available? The people who make these decision do not have this problem and have zero empathy for unsuccessful men.

I am a 31 year old man who has very little desire to enter a relationship, let alone get married and have kids. The interest just isn't there. I would not describe myself as a incel. I have a question for anyone who relates to this. Why do you lack desire/interest to enter into a relationship? Is it for personal reasons, or societal reasons? And lastly, does it change how people treat you?
@thedevilandhertrumpets4268
@thedevilandhertrumpets4268 Год назад
Relationships aren’t treated with respect. They seem to be viewed as disposable. Too many marriages end in divorce, and those that enter marriage do so with a casualness that will result in catastrophic effects. Character and morals matter, and I can’t see myself getting into a relationship with someone who doesn’t value or cultivate the character required for a successful relationship.

im a facially ugly incel, always been called horrible things by female peers in my country. unless society is willing to make drastic changes which i know most women would not agree too and attractive/rich men, only thing i can do is geomaxx and hope to find better lands where feminist still don't have complete control and culture is more traditional. a fit guy, working, and educated shouldnt be seen as a outcast in his own society, my belief

7:28 Yes, but now imagine that, without a single success to make all the effort, all the work, and all the rejections, worth it. That's an incel's reality. It's easier to say "keep trying" when your efforts have yielded results at one point or another. It's far more difficult to believe in the value of "keep trying" when all your efforts have been in vain. JFL at this have, trying and failing to understand the have-nots.

As a 37 year old virgin, it used to bother me a lot. I'm keenly aware I internalized some really nasty things whenever I'd hear someone talking about incels, because it's always something that extremely negative. Am I an incel? I'm not part of any online culture that does anything or talks about any of the "typical" incel things. I'm just a loner, I don't really talk to many people in general. At a certain point, I just realized I was internalizing some pretty nasty things about myself and that I should just step away from anything to do with the conversation. It took a long time but I'm not ashamed of not having had a girlfriend, sex, or much hope for romantic entanglement. It would be nice, but I don't beat myself up for it anymore. I appreciate anyone and everyone (and they were very few and far between) who didn't speak about incels as if they were monsters, disgusting terrible people who should maybe be put down, and certainly weren't worthy of any kind of mental health help. The vast majority when I was younger were so harsh to the point where I've come to understand that there's many who really relish in the pain and destruction of many people. I hope you all have a wonderful day. I really do. And I don't mean that I really, really care about and love you, because I don't. That wouldn't be the truth. But that doesn't mean I don't think everyone shouldn't have a wonderful day. Not sure what else to say here, but I do feel like I'm on a positive path in life now and I hope that everyone can more deeply realize the power they have if they just get up and work hard towards what they want every day. It takes time, and it takes a lot of work, don't ever think to yourself that someone else is blocking you. The biggest roadblock to your success will always be yourself.
