I imagine it's hard to get numbers, but out of 1000 random males, how many do you think are incels in the US? And same question considering worldwide.
For me, it's because I pretty frequently encounter people who claim to be incels who don't seem to be as bad as they think they are. Someone told me they can't be an incel if I've taken romantic interest in them... but they think they are incel. So I don't know what to think. What really is an incel?
It's more that I don't think these things apply to majority of women. I think they apply to some women, but not most. So I am expressing my POV to try and shed an extra voice in this thread. If myself and others like me don't speak up, then it might as well be the majority of women.
It's not about validation as much as understanding. The validation would be nice, but more deeply than that I crave to understand. Though I've been told by a few already that I'll never understand. Perhaps this is true, but I haven't accepted that myself just yet.
I suspect that most women who lie about their preferences are either a) not lying, because they are so out of touch with what they want that they just don't know. I personally did not even feel sexual attraction until I was 20, and even when I did, it was very confusing to me. Or b) they have been conditioned by society to be pleasant, and think that sugarcoating rejections is the best way to go, but instead that turns into leading people on. It becomes a messed up cycle, and usually they are out of touch with how much harm they have caused.

Notate tamen vobis facies nostras diligenter, ut recognoscatis nosin illo die.

Why are comparing those losers to lions and tigers? Do you want to make them happy?
