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> | ||

'''[[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]].

Similar points about centralization, economic stagnation and resulting competitiveness as causes of inceldom, late/no marriage and low birth rates have been raised by journalist Walter M. Gallichan in his 1915 book [[The Great Unmarried]]. Gallichan also lamented a negativity about marriage as well as declining relationship between the sexes expressing as misandry and misogyny. Significantly later marriages have been observed in economic crises in mid 17th century England where women saved up their virginity to attract a well earning man.<ref>https://journals.openedition.org/chs/737#bodyftn16</ref> Lower income makes men unattractive to women, and the increasing rate of millennials living with their parents makes | Similar points about centralization, economic stagnation and resulting competitiveness as causes of inceldom, late/no marriage and low birth rates have been raised by journalist Walter M.

'''Pessimism''': A poor economic outlook and ecological crises like pollution, global warming and overpopulation make people less willing to have offspring, hence reluctant to date. | '''Pessimism''': A poor economic outlook and ecological crises like pollution, global warming and overpopulation make people less willing to have offspring, hence reluctant to date. | ||
'''Decline of tradition & religion''': The decline of tradition and gender roles (driven by a push towards higher female workforce participation) and hypergamy may also decrease marriage rates and thereby increase sexlessness. | '''Decline of tradition & religion''': The decline of tradition and gender roles (driven by a push towards higher female workforce participation) and hypergamy may also decrease marriage rates and thereby increase sexlessness. | ||

'''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, also men's and women's lives used to be much more segregated.<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 anti-bullying measures, coddled millennials and the lack of strict hierarchies, as well as the narcissistic notion that all children need to be successful, caused by liberalism, 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. | '''[[SMV]] overestimation and status uncertainty''': Economic uncertainty and anti-bullying measures, coddled millennials and the lack of strict hierarchies, as well as the narcissistic notion that all children need to be successful, caused by liberalism, 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, forming a positive-feedback loop with men becoming even more frustrated and promiscuous.<ref>https://www.technologyreview.com/s/601909/how-tinder-feedback-loop-forces-men-and-women-into-extreme-strategies/</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> | '''Fear of intimacy & social judgement''': The feeling of being observed by social media has been suggested to explain some of the reluctance to date and a rising fear of intimacy.<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5696417/Virgin-numbers-rise-UK-fear-intimacy.html</ref> | ||

'''Nice guys and weak men''': Male feminists and men who have excessively been shamed to be [[nice guy|nice]] are thought to have a poor chance of seducing a woman provided that most women appear to prefer dominant men.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Personality</ref> Blackpillers respond to the [[redpill|redpill-y]] advice to simply be more dominant that this is impossible without real status and without a categorical subordination of women because dominance and confidence are hard to fake and one risks ridicule. | '''Nice guys and weak men''': Male feminists and men who have excessively been shamed to be [[nice guy|nice]] are thought to have a poor chance of seducing a woman provided that most women appear to prefer dominant men.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Personality</ref> Blackpillers respond to the [[redpill|redpill-y]] advice to simply be more dominant that this is impossible without real status and without a categorical subordination of women because dominance and confidence are hard to fake and one risks ridicule. | ||

'''Mismatch theory''': | '''Mismatch theory''': A ''mismatch'' has been suggested between the modern environment and human's natural environment, leading to deteriorating social functioning. In particular, people may have an expectation to be married rather than making their own choices as arranged marriage was a very common occurrence in human's past.<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1474704919887706</ref><ref>http://dieoff.com/_Biology/BeautyAndTheBeast.pdf 3.3.3. Does female choice drive male dominance competition?</ref> As people less likely own land and are more replaceable and have less responsibility, there is a decreased need for arranging marriages the as concepts like lineage and inheritance lose their meaning (in addition to liberalism, an overemphasis on personal freedom, destroying such institutions). | ||

'''Mutants & social epistasis''': Increased mutational load mainly due to milder living conditions and modern medicine drastically reducing infant mortality,<ref>https://doi.org/10.1007/s40806-017-0084-x</ref> as well as pollution (e.g. xenoestrogens), and/or changes in diet may have lead to a decline of masculine features, such as robust [[mandible]], [[compact midface]],<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Men_with_dominant.2C_aggressive_faces_.28high_fWHR.29_are_preferred_for_short_term_relationships</ref> and also reduced testosterone levels and hence reduced muscle mass, but also a higher incident rate of all kinds of diseases (obesity, underweight) and mental conditions, e.g. autism. Likewise, sperm count has reduced as much as 50% in the past decades. Such changes should predict that more men now fall below what is objectively deemed as lowest bar for physical attractiveness by most women. Others have proposed a viscous cycle of mutants disrupting communal life and the thereby degraded society disrupting mutant's and other peoples' social lives, including sex lives.<ref>https://youtube.com/?v=qduN3z9yfCI?t=1028</ref> | '''Mutants & social epistasis''': Increased mutational load mainly due to milder living conditions and modern medicine drastically reducing infant mortality,<ref>https://doi.org/10.1007/s40806-017-0084-x</ref> as well as pollution (e.g. xenoestrogens), and/or changes in diet may have lead to a decline of masculine features, such as robust [[mandible]], [[compact midface]],<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Men_with_dominant.2C_aggressive_faces_.28high_fWHR.29_are_preferred_for_short_term_relationships</ref> and also reduced testosterone levels and hence reduced muscle mass, but also a higher incident rate of all kinds of diseases (obesity, underweight) and mental conditions, e.g. autism.
