It would solve all their problems.

    The term femcel isn’t as universal as incel. Please compare the female dating strategy subreddit to blahaj zones femcel memes community

    And to actually answer your question, because many of them don’t actually want a partner, they want someone to blame and hate for not having a partner.

    Their problems, despite their claims to the contrary, do not stem from other people not liking them. Instead, their problems stem from them not liking other people. If you put a femcel and an incel in a room together, they would just sit at opposite corners silently wishing death upon the other.

    I guess this is kind of like asking why don’t ugly people date eachother - because they don’t want to date an ugly person.

    Possibly they think of themselves as unlovable,are so incompetent in relationships (any, not just a partner/SO)? Or because they just want a slave with a vagina&a silent mouth attached.

    When I was younger a friend of mine, for some reason I will never understand, fell for a Incel. They knew each other from Uni. She was/is cute, intelligent, witty, definitely not someone who is unable to find another partner. But wherever loves falls,right. She basically woed him for half a year,was treated shitty (dates ignored, multiple ghosting phases with idiotic reasons like “he didn’t like what dress she wore in class”,etc). The later confessed that they actually had sex once and it was beyond horrible because he literally told her he did not care for her wellbeing (not pleasure)at all.

    After that she thankfully decided to pursue other options. He had a long online rant about how she is a slut for leaving him, etc.

    (While our friendship didn’t last I know that she is happily married with kids now)

    Most incels and femcels do not meet their own standards of beauty, emotionality, and sociality. This is partly why they hate themselves so much and project that hate onto archetypes like Chad and Stacy. A lot of blackpilled incels genuinely believe they are unlovable and will be forever alone — any partner of those people will not be treated well since there’s an inherent lack of trust/belief in the relationship.

    Not to mention that depressed/self-loathing people dating each other is a really bad idea and results in shitty relationships and emotional turmoil. Sometimes these couples become codependent and then they’re together for years even though they dislike each other. It doesn’t necessarily help anyone get better, it often makes it harder to work on yourself because of the “crabs in a bucket” mentality.

      I was thinking the same, but less eloquently.

      “Femcels won’t date neckbeards, and incels won’t date fat chicks”

      Yours is much better

      My first love fell down that hole. Toward the end of our relationship (he was about 18 years old) he’d started crushing on another girl. When we broke up, they got together. Each of them was a black hole of negativity. I saw what was happening, but with my status as “ex” I knew there wasn’t anything I could say or do about it.

      She was even more of a downer than he was, which was shocking (his constant negativity was part of what led to our break up in the first place.) They spent five years together, ranting and raving about how horrible everything is, all while living with their respective parents and avoiding getting jobs. He stuck with her, even after they realized they had absolutely incompatible sex drives (she was ace, he was very much not. To clarify - being ace isn’t a bad thing. But for him, a complete lack of sex added to his feelings of isolation and distress.)

      They eventually broke up, and we started chatting again (she didn’t let him talk to me during their relationship.) He eventually went on adventures across the country, learned his love of kink play from a fling with an experienced domme, went to school and gained skills in a field he loves. He’s in his 30s now, still upset about the state of the world (obviously), but he’s learned to accept what he can’t control.

      In the end, he’s expressed a lot of regret over that relationship. He realized in retrospect how toxic it was and how much it was holding him back. I have no idea how that ex-girlfriend is doing these days, but I’m glad that at least he was able to break himself out of that spiral.

    Two sides with unrealistically high standards which they themselves don’t meet. Plus they hate the others almost as much as they hate themselves.

    I don’t see this working out, guys.

        Weirdly enough the whole “involuntary celibate” thing originated from a queer woman, then the internet desided to hate her and to “reclaim” the term “incel” to people that are truly alone: extremely misogynistic men.

    Because they mostly all have terrible personalities and would find each other totally unbearable just like the rest of us do.

    They also generally don’t really want to date any sort of actual human that exists in the real world. They want to date a perfect parody of the opposite sex, incels are looking for someone who looks like Barbie (or whatever their idea of a perfect body type is, some go for a the petite almost childlike look after all) who wakes up looking like she just left the salon, who is totally subservient to all of his wants and needs, never speaks up unless it’s to stroke his ego, a perfect cook and maid, an oversexed freak in the sheets, who will bear however many children his twisted ego wants to inflict on the world but never gain a pound or show any stretch marks, wrinkles, or grey hair

    In short they don’t want to date a real person, they want a real doll who does their laundry and squeezes out children.

    And they’re convinced that these mythical creatures exist out in the real world but that someone is conspiring to keep them from them, because obviously they’re the perfect example of masculinity and why wouldn’t these perfect females be flocking to them otherwise?

    And I’m not certain exactly what sort of fictitious Superman feels are after, but the same overall sentiment applies.

    Or else they’re just deeply in the closet.

    The term incel came from a bisexual woman around 20 years ago. I think she started a support group online for it. The problem was that most of the people who wanted help, got it and left. This left… the people who would not be helped and that’s what it is. Still the original incel I believe ended up with a woman, it just so happened that she was one.
