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 with a small sample size. | 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 with a small sample size. | ||
