'''The share of men under 30 who aren't having sex has nearly tripled to 28% in 2018 in the past decade according to the Washington Post using data from the General Social Survey'''.<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/03/29/share-americans-not-having-sex-has-reached-record-high/?utm_term=.9b52429c7136</ref>
'''The share of sexless men between 18 and 30 has nearly tripled to 28% in 2018 in the past decade according to the Washington Post using data from the General Social Survey'''.<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/03/29/share-americans-not-having-sex-has-reached-record-high/?utm_term=.9b52429c7136</ref>.

A study by Poortman and Liebroer found that roughly only 4% of singles prefer being single over having a relationship<ref>https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ssresearch.2010.03.012</ref>. If we are to subtract [[volcel]]s from this number, we arrive at roughly 24% of American being incel.  As different studies show slightly different numbers, and 24% may be too confident of a guess given the available evidece, we conclude the % American young men being incel to be somewhere between 20-30%.
A study by Poortman and Liebroer found that only roughly 4% of singles are [[volcel|Volcels]], i.e. singles who stated to prefer their singlehood<ref>https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ssresearch.2010.03.012</ref>. Accounting for that, the percentage of incels between 18 and 30 is somewhere between 15 and 30%.
