The misconception that women would not care about looks may stem from political correctness as the Norwegian sexologist [[Kristin Spitznogle]] suggested, from the ''[[women-are-wonderful effect]]'',<ref name="ref92">https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1111/j.1471-6402.1991.tb00792.x</ref> or from the fact that [[Scientific Blackpill#|men prefer young and fertile women]] and youth is associated with beauty. It also requires a ''much higher'' level of looks for women to copulate with a complete stranger [[sexy son hypothesis|only because of his looks]] than vice-versa, so this simply happens rarely. It may also be a remnant of monogamy norms, forcing women to marry men regardless of their looks.
The misconception that women would not care about looks may stem from political correctness as the Norwegian sexologist [[Kristin Spitznogle]] suggested, from the ''[[women-are-wonderful effect]]'',<ref name="ref92">https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1111/j.1471-6402.1991.tb00792.x</ref> or from the fact that [[Scientific Blackpill#|men prefer young and fertile women]] and youth is associated with beauty.  
The fact that some women may date down in looks in order to secure a proficient [[betabuxx|provider]] male may also play a role in this perception, as well as apparent (to outside observers) mismatches in looks in relationships that may be caused by the variability in preferences for looks that are often found when those rated are clustered around the mean physically attractiveness level.

That being said about the importance of looks, there exists some anecdotal evidence that many incels are not particularly ugly, with some even being physically attractive. There may be a selection bias here insofar as only the better looking incels are expected to expose themself to public scrutiny by posting images of themselves on the internet.<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 for ugly men 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.
 
However, sexually unsuccessful men's poor estimation of their of physical attractiveness may be partly driven by lower-self esteem caused by their travails related to relationship formation, as some research has indicated that men's own estimates of their looks only correlate weakly with their attractiveness as rated with others, in contrast to women's self appraisals, which correlate highly with other's evaluations of their looks.{{Citation needed}}

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. Initiation would make it more difficult to reject a male as the initiator bears more responsibility.
