It is | It is argued that women have less ''actual'' suicide attempts than men ([https://medium.com/t/@jimpreston_36730/myth-women-attempt-suicide-more-often-than-men-bdded9044517 source]). | ||
Women generally choose less effective and less irrevocable methods of suicide (e.g overdoses as compared to [[rope|hanging]] or firearms), and thus they attempt suicide more than men, who generally seem to genuinely intend to die when they attempt suicide. Additionally, many spurious suicide attempts are also apparently recorded as though they represent more serious attempts at suicide, in the absence of more objective data of the attempt representing a true desire to die (e.g emergency room visits). | |||
Feminists commonly attribute the use of less 'messy' methods of suicide among women to greater empathy with their bereaved relatives and friends,{{citation needed}} but it could also be evidence of women's lower activity level and propensity to demand emotional support by engaging in histrionic behavior, e.g. by [[Scientific Blackpill (Supplemental)#Women_cry_four_times_as_much_as_men_and_never_outgrow_teenage_crying_behavior|crying]]. | Feminists commonly attribute the use of less 'messy' methods of suicide among women to greater empathy with their bereaved relatives and friends,{{citation needed}} but it could also be evidence of women's lower activity level and propensity to demand emotional support by engaging in histrionic behavior, e.g. by [[Scientific Blackpill (Supplemental)#Women_cry_four_times_as_much_as_men_and_never_outgrow_teenage_crying_behavior|crying]]. | ||

To gain insight on the incel condition, a questionnaire was filled out by 60 men and 22 women who identified as involuntarily celibate. Findings showed that involuntary celibates may come from broad sexual and personal backgrounds.

Findings showed that involuntary celibates may come from broad sexual and personal backgrounds. Three categories were developed: virgins were those who had never had sex, singles had sex in the past but were unable to establish current sexual relationships, and those who were currently in sexless relationships (which included 28% of respondents). Of the virgin involuntary celibates, 76% were male, and 24% were female. | ||
Overall, 35% of respondents felt dissatisfied, frustrated, or angry about their lack of sexual relationships regardless of their current partnership status. Most involuntary celibates appeared to feel despair, depression, frustration and a loss of confidence. | Overall, 35% of respondents felt dissatisfied, frustrated, or angry about their lack of sexual relationships regardless of their current partnership status.

A study based on US national suicide mortality data between 1991 and 1996 has shown that the highest suicide rates were observed for White male widowers aged 20-24 (381 per 100,000, i.e. ~33 times higher than the national average in 1996 and ~17 times higher than married men in that category). | A study based on US national suicide mortality data between 1991 and 1996 has shown that the highest suicide rates were observed for White male widowers aged 20-24 (381 per 100,000, i.e. ~33 times higher than the national average in 1996 and ~17 times higher than married men in that category). | ||
For female White widows in the same age group, suicide rate only increased by factor ~4 when going from being married to widowed, and it is not significantly higher than the national average. | For female White widows in the same age group, suicide rate only increased by factor ~4 when going from being married to widowed, and it is not significantly higher than the national average. | ||
The increase after divorce is roughly the same for both sexes, which is surprising given that women are more often to initiate divorce and initiative tends to be associated with lower post relationship grief. It is in line, though, with men and women self-reporting about the same intensity of post-relationship grief (Morris & Reiber, 2011). | The increase after divorce is roughly the same for both sexes, which is surprising given that women are more often to initiate divorce and initiative tends to be associated with lower post relationship grief.

The strong differences regarding widows, however, may be evidence of women's less intense and opportunistic love style, more quickly overcoming their grief and attaching themselves to the next most dominant male that shows interest | The strong differences regarding widows, however, may be evidence of women's less intense and opportunistic love style, more quickly overcoming their grief and attaching themselves to the next most dominant male that shows interest. | ||
