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> Women are more likely to state they would not want to date a virgin: 51% of women and 33% of men stated this in a survey by Match.com from 2013.<ref>http://match.mediaroom.com/2013-02-05-Singles-in-America-Match-com-Releases-Third-Annual-Comprehensive-Study-on-the-Single-Population</ref> The social desirability bias could even play a role here and make the truth even worse.

[[Social constructionism|Social constructionists]] in the social sciences calls the sex difference in preference for virgins "a double standard", but it is fairly straight forward to explain this in terms of evolutionary psychology, namely by the simple fact that only women, but not men, are can be certain their offspring is theirs. Men preferring virgins reduces their chance of being cuckolded. | |||
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 incels don't live up to these social demands, there are sometimes consequences. The lack of validation from another person in turn also leads to depression. | In some countries, couples receive tax-breaks, something that nearcels, [[truecel]]s and incels are not entitled to.
