A simple Darwinian argument could be made that people should feel shitty when they cannot gain access to reproductive opportunities. From a Darwinian perspective, this is the worst place to be in, as one cannot propagate their genes. For this reason, one would expect negative emotions like depression to have evolved that disincentivize men from accepting their inceldom. The explanation is simple: Individuals with a mutation to embrace their inceldom were outreproduced by those who didn't, in fact they did not reproduce at all. This does not necessarily mean people's mood is expected to be in proportion to their reproductive success (it isn't), but it is in proportion to other heuristic conditions that have evolved to incentivize reproduction (status, orgasms, warm body contact, socializing etc.). Therefore, [[GDE]], as discussed below, is a bit of a meme. | A simple Darwinian argument could be made that people should feel shitty when they cannot gain access to reproductive opportunities.

Men without prospects on sex may less likely to feel inclined to cooperate with the rest of society and hence become violent. | |||
Indeed there are various indications enabling more men to get sex by enforcing monogamy decreases violence and conflict: Strong pair-bonding between males and females is thought to be accompanied by a dramatic reduction in the male-to-male conflict over mating and an increased investment in offspring.<ref>https://www.pnas.org/content/109/25/9923</ref> | |||
Heinrich et al. suggested cultural evolution may have selected monogamy because of its beneficial effects: Monogamy suppresses intrasexual competition and reduces the number of unmarried men, thereby reduces crime rates, including rape, murder, assault, robbery and fraud. By shifting male efforts from seeking wives to paternal investment, normative monogamy increases savings, child investment and economic productivity. By increasing the relatedness within households, monogamy reduces intra-household conflict, leading to lower rates of child neglect, abuse, accidental death and homicide.<ref>http://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2011.0290</ref> | |||
In a cross-cultural study of correlates of crimes in 44 non-literate societies (a people or culture without a written language), monogamous societies had substantially lower rates of theft (r = -.58) and personal crime (r = -.44) than polygynous ones.<ref>http://doi.org/10.1037/h0042395</ref> | |||
Data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent and Adult Health (Add Health) indicate men who transition to a monogamous, or less competitive, mode of sexual behavior reduce their risk of violence. Impressing and pleasing women, not just acquiring livestock, provide a strong incentive to participate in raids. Changes in sexual behavior were shown to be more consistent and stronger in predicting violence than marriage and employment.<ref>http://doi.org/10.1080/07418825.2016.1216153</ref> | |||
Polygynous societies have costlier, more dysphoric [unpleasant, violent] male rituals and rites of passage.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1090513807000244</ref> | |||
Evolutionary psychology suggests most intergroup conflicts were caused by the relative availability of fertile women. An undersupply of women e.g. due to excessive polygamy, increases the chances of civil wars.<ref>http://faculty.washington.edu/hechter/KanazawaPaper.pdf</ref> | |||
It should be noted that any correlation between singlehood and criminal behavior in men should be expected to be weakened by the fact that women tend to be attracted to psychopaths.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#On_average.2C_women_are_attracted_to_the_Dark_Triad.E2.80.94narcissism.2C_manipulativeness.2C_.26_psychopathy</ref> In fact, | |||
