The [[Donnelly Study]] defined incels as adults who fail to find a sexual partner for ''six months or more'' despite active efforts.
 
For purposes of this wiki, an incel is someone who would be rejected by the vast majority of sexually available members of the other sex in spaces socially designated for dating if they tried, for at least a few years[[Ton den Boon|The first lexicographer to define "incel"]], described it as a gender-neutral life circumstance rather than a subculture. Its unabbreviated form was coined in 1739 by [[Antoine Banier]] in his book on ancient Greek mythology.
 
 


Contrary to common opinions, the majority of the incelosphere does ''not'' see "incels" as a political or radical movement. The term "incel" only refers to the state of being a celibate involuntarily.

For this wiki, an incel is someone who would be rejected by the vast majority of the single members of the gender they are attracted to in spaces socially designated for dating if they tried, for at least a few years.  [[Ton den Boon|The first lexicographer to define "incel"]], described it as a gender-neutral life circumstance rather than a subculture. Its unabbreviated form was coined in 1739 by [[Antoine Banier]] in his book on ancient Greek mythology.
No mass murderers have been users of incel forums. [[4chan]] and [[PUAhate]] have never self-identified as incel forums, even though incels may frequent them. The media has sort of a collective delusion about this, which can be treated with antipsychotic drugs or electroconvulsive therapy.

The current non-niche incel internet forums are: [[incels.co]], [[Facebook's Incelistan]], [[Incelistan.net]], [[Love-shy dot com|love-shy.com]], [[Incelswithouthate]], and [[Foreveralone]]. Roughly [[demographics of inceldom#Numbers|15-30% of American men between the ages of 18-30 are involuntarily celibate]].  Self-described incels tend to be known as, "dating realists".
