'''[[Hypergamy]] & [[affirmative action]]''': With women's increased status, more incels (both male and female) are to be expected because women prefer to date up.

Physical ugliness decreases [[SMV]] and hence increases chances of inceldom, but according to some anecdotal evidence, incels often do not look particularly ugly,<ref name="ref159"></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. | ||

Similar points about centralization, economic stagnation and resulting competitiveness as causes of inceldom, late or 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.
