The current non-niche incel internet forums are: [[incels.co]], [[Braincels|Reddit's Braincels]], [[Facebook's Incelistan]], [[Incelistan.net]], [[Love-shy dot com|love-shy.com]], [[Incelswithouthate]], and [[Foreveralone]]. Roughly [[demographics of inceldom#Numbers|28% of American men between the ages of 18-30 are involuntarily celibate]].  Self-described incels tend to be known as, "dating realists".
