[[Incel]], is an [[Donnelly Study#Incel is Now a Valid Academic Sociological Term|academic sociological term]] that is short for and means, ''''involuntary celibacy'''', a life circumstance. Individual philosophies like the [[blackpill]] or subcultures like [[4chan]] culture emerge on some, but not all, forums dedicated to involuntary celibates and go in and out of fashion. [[Inceldom]] was first academically recognized as a sociological phenomenon by the [[Donnelly Study]]. The [[Donnelly Study]] defined incels as all adults who want to have a willing sexual partner of the gender that they are attracted to, but cannot find one for six months or more. This definition, however, has too many holes. For the purposes of this wiki, an incel is someone who is or would be romantically and/or sexually rejected by the vast majority of the single members of the gender they are attracted to while approaching at random in spaces socially designated for dating, for a period of years. | [[Incel]], is an [[Donnelly Study#Incel is Now a Valid Academic Sociological Term|academic sociological term]] that is short for and means, ''''involuntary celibacy'''', a life circumstance.
