For Germany, [[incel|incels]] are called [[Absolute Beginners]], or ABs. There is no comparable data to the GSS or NFSG. Some sources claim inceldom affects twice as many males as females with 10 percent and 5 percent respectively, however the source of this claim remains dubious.{{citation needed}}<ref>https://www.srf.ch/wissen/mensch/absolute-beginner-leben-ohne-liebe-und-partner</ref> Older data from 2008 suggested that among 18-30 year olds, 60.4% of men and 35.6% of women were singles, largely due to women marrying men who are older than themselves, and due to very young men lack the ability to provide who indeed make up the majority of singles.<ref>https://www.springer.com/de/book/9783658059231</ref> Interestingly, these figures are similar to GSS in 2018 as discussed above.
