A female entry into STEM spaces, while it may be corrupting to the STEM field, it is not entirely clear how much it affects the prevalence of inceldom. Theoretically, the greater prevalence of the opposite sex should imply more opportunities for finding a partner. | A female entry into STEM spaces, while it may be corrupting to the STEM field, it is not entirely clear how much it affects the prevalence of inceldom.

Indeed, acording to a study by Ivy [[penis|Wong]], students in single-sex classes report later onset of dating experience and fewer dating partners than members of co-ed classes,<ref>https://doi.org/10.1007/s10508-018-1187-6</ref> however the effect sizes were small (d = .2) and in most other measures of sexual activity there were no significant effects. | Indeed, acording to a study by Ivy [[penis|Wong]], students in single-sex classes report later onset of dating experience and fewer dating partners than members of co-ed classes,<ref>https://doi.org/10.1007/s10508-018-1187-6</ref> however the effect sizes were small (d = .2) and in most other measures of sexual activity there were no significant effects. So in other words, yes having co-ed classes means more dates and partners according to that study. | ||
According to the [[Donnelly Study]], some incels report gender segregation at work and lack of exposure to females in general as a cause of their celibacy, especially among male incels.<ref>http://cda.morris.umn.edu/~meeklesr/celibacy.html</ref> A study of Redditors found lack of exposure to the opposite gender as the ~9th most common cause of their singledom and 4.70% of all responses (see [[causes of inceldom]]). | According to the [[Donnelly Study]], some incels report gender segregation at work and lack of exposure to females in general as a cause of their celibacy, especially among male incels.<ref>http://cda.morris.umn.edu/~meeklesr/celibacy.html</ref> A study of Redditors found lack of exposure to the opposite gender as the ~9th most common cause of their singledom and 4.70% of all responses (see [[causes of inceldom]]). | ||

Many workplaces actively discourage romances. | Many workplaces actively discourage romances. | ||
Also even though sex-segregation has | Also, even though sex-segregation has decreased, incel rates are also at all-time high (see [[demographics]]). This is mostly explainable by less men going to college and women being more picky, as there is no study that shows being closer to the opposite gender hinders your ability with women. | ||
