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. | 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. | ||
Men seem to be much worse at accurately judging their own looks,<ref>http://doi.org/10.2307/3033724</ref> which may be a result of women competing much more in terms of looks and gossiping about one another's looks. [[Feminism|Feminists]] may construe this behavior as imposed by the patriarchy as a result of men strongly caring about looks, when in truth both men and women care about looks<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Women_rate_80.25_of_men_as_.22below_average.22.2C_while_men_rate_women_on_a_bell_curve</ref>, but women have extra incentive to conspicuously advertise themselves to attract a high status man, having a more [[sex drive#Female_passivity|passive sexuality]] all around. This may also explain women's harsher ratings resulting from an intuition to avoid initiating romance and giving men complements. Initiation would make it more difficult to reject a male as the initiator bears more responsibility. | |||
