Some evidence suggests sexlessness max negatively affect men's social status (but positively women's status).<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Males_gained_peer_status_through_having_had_sex_and_females_lost_peer_status</ref> | |||
For example, women regard men who have sex as more attractive which may be related to assigning such men more social status (as women choose men based on their status).<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Women_are_more_attracted_to_men_who_are_already_in_relationships_than_single_men</ref> | For example, women regard men who have sex as more attractive which may be related to assigning such men more social status (as women choose men based on their status).<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Women_are_more_attracted_to_men_who_are_already_in_relationships_than_single_men</ref> | ||
In some countries, couples receive tax-breaks, something that nearcels, [[truecel]]s and incels are not entitled to. There is often also a lot of social pressure to get a partner from family members, friends and cultural institutions. When you don't live up to these social demands, there are sometimes consequences. The lack of validation from another person in turn can also take its toll. | In some countries, couples receive tax-breaks, something that nearcels, [[truecel]]s and incels are not entitled to.

Another aspect is that one becomes a [[genetic dead end]]. Despite the fact that some people rejoice at the prospects of being childless, claiming that it has afforded them freedoms and allowed them to focus on their careers etc. there are also setbacks to being childless. Having offspring can give a person meaning to life, it can be rewarding to raise another human, and children often bring one joy. What compounds the GDE if it results from inceldom, is that unlike GDE resulting from choice, a person on the [[inceldom spectrum]] is childless notwithstanding their own will. | == Darwinian logic == | ||
Since women choose men based on their [[dominance hierarchy|social status]], status is the primary pathway for men to reproduce. Hence, by a simple Darwinian argument, men should feel shitty when they cannot attain status and hence cannot get access to any woman. From a Darwinian perspective this is the worst place to be in, as it does not allow to propagate one's genes. For this reason, one would expect negative emotions to have evolved that disincentivize men from accepting their inceldom. The explanation is simple: Men with a mutation to embrace their inceldom were outreproduced by those who didn't, in fact they did not reproduce at all. | |||

Being an incel in general is a source of embarrassment by virtue of belonging to a minority. | |||
