The term ''involuntary celibacy'' dates back [[Antoine Banier|at least]] to the 17th century. After [[Alana]] introduced the abbreviated term ''incel'' in 1997, it was used in the [[Donnelly Study]] in 2001 and it was first [[Ton den Boon|lexicographically recognized]] in 2018.<ref>https://www.vandale.nl/wvdd-incel</ref> The Donnelly Study defined incels as adults who fail to find a sexual partner for six months or more without choosing so, however, in the [[incelosphere]], there is dispute about this definition because of conceivable loopholes. Incels typically have a low [[dominance hierarchy|dominance status]] ([[Alpha, Beta, Omega|beta or omega rank]]) that the [[pussy cartel]] doesn't approve of.  Their low dominance status is most often due to being [[beauty|ugly]], [[love shy|shy]], [[poorcel|poor]], [[heightcel|short]], [[skinnycel|weak]], [[mentalcel|neurodivergent]], and/or [[medcel|physically ill]] (see [[causes of inceldom]]).
