    Nah, lets just call all lonely men “incels” and sweep the problem under the rug, surely that will never be a problem.

    EDIT: Thanks for helping me prove the point, everyone.

            See? You are doing it. Be sure to dismiss this response as something coming from an incel, my other half thinks it’s funny.

              Yes. Fuck incels. They’re pieces of misogynistic shit. I don’t care if you’re an incel or just some lonely guy, get a hobby.

                I have plenty. And I’m not lonely. But when I try to defend lonely fellas online, you say things like “get a hobby”.

                There is a distinction to be made here though. Strictly speaking, being involuntarily celibate is a shame, and not at all bad.

                That being said, the term incel has addition context that isn’t strictly it’s definition, and that isn’t good.

                  If you are referring to yourself as an incel then there is likely a regressive mindset that goes with it. Most people just call themselves single. Sexual status is a construct, whether it be virgin or “promiscuous”. Unlikable men choose incel so that they can blame their lack of sex on the people not giving it to them.

        One is a symptom of the other (both at a societal level and an individual level)

      If you don’t want to be called an incel, don’t blame your loneliness and lack of sex on anyone else. Everyone is lonely, it’s nobody’s fault unless you want to blame society as a whole which will get you nowhere. Continue to grow as a human and don’t stop trying to find new avenues of reaching out to others.

      And most importantly, never expect someone to like you in any way, no one is obligated to you.

        You guys are missing my point. Im not talking about incels, I’m talking about people who just call all lonely guys incels. The way everyone is happily downvoting me when I say this are proving me right.

              I am sorry you had to experience that, but it is very insightful and aware to know that your trauma would affect the perception. Most would gloss over that.

              Not saying this about you specifically ( I don’t know if you have things about you that you don’t like), but people who have things they don’t like about themselves also have a tendency to see criticism and insults about that particular thing where there are none. Like I used to be really over weight, so anytime anyone made jokes about something being large or about pigs or cows, I would internalize that and assume it was about my fatness because I hated that about myself.

          Incels are called incels. Lonely guys are lonely guys. If you’re being called an incel, there’s a reason.

          We are all talking about incels. Nobody here has a problem with lonely guys. I think you’re missing everyone else’s point.

        You really swung for the fences over somebody saying “calling all lonely men incels are bad.”

        You ABSOLUTELY proved his point, this comment was so damn extra in relation to o what you replied to.

          I don’t mean to put myself in the place of anything - I just meant that the better course of action is to find improvement rather than fault. It’s a situation where being able to put the blame on something does nothing to improve the situation. We’re lonely because there are too many people is all.

          There’s a lot of people at fault for things in my life and if I worried about blaming them, I wouldn’t have had the time to get educated and grow as a human so that I could move past the things they are at fault, I was just trying to broaden that idea into something more general.

      Is your point that incels are whiny bitches? We all knew that already but thanks for the reminder, I guess.

      A lot of people in this very thread are dumb enough to think that saying sometimes isn’t an incel is the same thing as defending incels, and that you must therefore be an incel yourself. It’s really pathetic how people get triggered by a word like incel and just completely lose their ability to understand the simplest of statements.

      Incels aren’t just lonely. That’s not even their defining characteristic. They are primarily egotistical, misogynistic, assholes that no self respecting woman should suffer. Loneliness is just the symptom of that.
