'''Hypergamy & affirmative action''': With women's increased status, more incels are to be expected as women prefer to date up. For example, aversion to having the wife earn more than the husband explains 29% of the decline in marriage rates over the last thirty years.<ref>https://doi.org/10.1093/qje/qjv001</ref> | '''[[Hypergamy]] & [[affirmative action]]''': With women's increased status, more incels are to be expected as women prefer to date up.

'''Lookism''': Many blackpillers primarily blame the raise of lookism enabled by women's emancipation and financial independence allowing women to ruthlessly choose based on looks, a point that was also raised by the Norwegian sexologist and feminist [[Kristin Spitznogle]]. Physical ugliness plausibly decreases [[SMV]] and hence increases chances of inceldom, but according to some anecdotal evidence, incels often do not look particularly ugly,<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Demographics_of_inceldom#Germany</ref> but these claims remain somewhat dubious as it could have been selection bias of the sort that only good looking people seek help from female sex therapists and are inclined to participate in a TV show. | '''[[Lookism]]''': Many blackpillers primarily blame the raise of lookism enabled by women's emancipation and financial independence allowing women to ruthlessly choose based on looks, a point that was also raised by the Norwegian sexologist and feminist [[Kristin Spitznogle]].

'''Economic stagnation & competitiveness''': As systems hit limits of growth, economies stagnate and social networks allow for social comparison with more people, people also plausibly become more narcissistic,<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#36.4.25_of_US_male_online_daters_are_now_resorting_to_anabolic_steroids_.26_bulimia_to_compete</ref> competitive<ref>https://www.psychologytoday.com/au/blog/fulfillment-any-age/201905/the-surprising-truth-about-perfectionism-in-millennials</ref><ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#It_is_not_men_who_suppress_female_sexuality_but_women</ref><ref>https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/jul/17/my-brain-feels-like-its-been-punched-the-intolerable-rise-of-perfectionism</ref><ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/29/opinion/sunday/in-praise-of-mediocrity.html</ref> and choosy. | '''Economic stagnation & competitiveness''': As systems hit limits of growth, economies stagnate and social networks allow for social comparison with more people, people also plausibly become more narcissistic,<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#36.4.25_of_US_male_online_daters_are_now_resorting_to_anabolic_steroids_.26_bulimia_to_compete</ref> competitive<ref>https://www.psychologytoday.com/au/blog/fulfillment-any-age/201905/the-surprising-truth-about-perfectionism-in-millennials</ref><ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#It_is_not_men_who_suppress_female_sexuality_but_women</ref><ref>https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/jul/17/my-brain-feels-like-its-been-punched-the-intolerable-rise-of-perfectionism</ref><ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/29/opinion/sunday/in-praise-of-mediocrity.html</ref> and choosy. | ||

'''Corruption of natural role of women''': The evolutionary unusual role of women often occupying higher status than men may be confusing to men who are naturally sensitive about these roles and thus become reclusive.<ref>https://youtube.com/?v=qduN3z9yfCI?t=1028</ref> In fact, women have always depended on men's resources and they did most of the cooking.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Women_were_historically_predominantly_involved_in_cooking_and_they_never_dominated_men</ref> | '''Corruption of natural role of women''': The evolutionary unusual role of women often occupying higher status than men may be confusing to men who are naturally sensitive about these roles and thus become reclusive.<ref>https://youtube.com/?v=qduN3z9yfCI?t=1028</ref> In fact, women have always depended on men's resources and they did most of the cooking.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Women_were_historically_predominantly_involved_in_cooking_and_they_never_dominated_men</ref> | ||

''' | '''[[SMV]] overestimation and status uncertainty''': Economic uncertainty and the lack of strict hierarchies, anti-bullying measures, coddled millennials etc., as well as the narcissistic notion that all children need to be successful, in part caused by greater competitiveness and more social comparisons through social networks and globalization as discussed above, may result in both men and women to have too high standards. Women's standards might be especially high due to the immense sexual attention they receive in social media and online dating. | ||

'''Fear of intimacy & judgement''': The feeling of being observed by social media has been suggested to explain some of the reluctance to date and a fear of intimacy.<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5696417/Virgin-numbers-rise-UK-fear-intimacy.html</ref> | '''Fear of intimacy & judgement''': The feeling of being observed by social media has been suggested to explain some of the reluctance to date and a fear of intimacy.<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5696417/Virgin-numbers-rise-UK-fear-intimacy.html</ref> | ||
