That being said about the importance of looks, there exist anecdotal evidence, that many incels are not particularly ugly, sometimes even physically attractive, but these claims are possibly biased in the sense that only good looking incels expose themselves to the public.<ref name="ref159">https://incels.wiki/w/Demographics_of_inceldom#Germany</ref> Looks do not seem to matter as much as many incels claim (e.g. unattractiveness only lowers the chances of marriage by 15%), but they do matter to some extent and good looks make life easier and open doors. In a study of Reddit users answering why they are single (not necessarily incels) on AskReddit, most answered they were physically unattractive, with about half as many mentioning obesity (see [[causes of inceldom]]).<ref>https://doi.org/10.1007/s40806-018-0163-7</ref> Looks were also after shyness (i.e. [[dominance hierarchy|low status]]), mentioned as the second common barrier in the [[Donnelly study]] with 47% of virgins and 56% of singles mentioning this factor, compared to only 9% of partnered people. | That being said about the importance of looks, there exist anecdotal evidence, that many incels are not particularly ugly, sometimes even physically attractive, but these claims are possibly biased in the sense that only good looking incels expose themselves to the public.<ref name="ref159">https://incels.wiki/w/Demographics_of_inceldom#Germany</ref> Looks do not seem to matter as much as many incels claim (e.g. unattractiveness only lowers the chances of marriage by 15%), but they do matter to some extent and good looks make life easier and open doors.

Women do not seem to care more about looks as men (but roughly equally), so women's harsher ratings possibly result from an intuition to avoid initiating romance and giving men complements, having a more coy and passive sexuality all around. Initiation would make it more difficult to reject a male as the initiator bears more responsibility. | Women do not seem to care more about looks as men (but roughly equally), so women's harsher ratings possibly result from an intuition to avoid initiating romance and giving men complements, having a more coy and [[sex drive#Female_passivity|passive sexuality]] all around.
