Some expect a return to more traditional sex roles and emphasis on marriage and monogamy may not be a solution for everyone, but could at least improve the situation greatly for most people. There is disagreement over whether or not this would require a widespread return to the prioritization of religious values to implement. | Some expect a return to more traditional sex roles and emphasis on marriage and monogamy may not be a solution for everyone, but could at least improve the situation greatly for most people.

In what could be considered a somewhat opposite position to the traditionalists, some blackpillers claim that technological progress, such as highly immersive simulated relationship experiences and realistic sex dolls present a possible solution to increasing male social alienation and inceldom. Critics of these solutions maintain that due to phenomena such as the "uncanny valley" effect, such experiences will prove to be, essentially, an elaborate form of masturbation, and will likely not serve as suitable substitutes for actual sex and companionship. Artificial wombs are also touted as a technological solution for incels who wish to reproduce without a willing female partner. Some blackpillers also view advances in the medical field of plastic surgery as a source of optimism, and claim widespread societal awareness of lookism - potentially leading to government subsidized plastic surgery for incels - would also present a possible solution to the problem. | |||
Others believe a positive effect of taking the blackpill is that it liberates from false hope and from expending time and effort for what is, in essence, a futile goal. Taking the blackpill means acknowledgement unethical, shallow and unhealthy mannerisms in the dating scene or even wider cultural practices, such as [[narcissism]]<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#36.4.25_of_US_male_online_daters_are_now_resorting_to_anabolic_steroids_.26_bulimia_to_compete</ref> and [[lookism]] (the [[halo effect]] and beauty-is-good stereotyping). Many blackpilled incels eventually complement or supplant the blackpill with the [[whitepill]]. | Others believe a positive effect of taking the blackpill is that it liberates from false hope and from expending time and effort for what is, in essence, a futile goal.
