For example, incels on [[incels.co]] disproportionately describe themselves as autistic<ref>https://incels.co/threads/survey-results-for-october-2019.147774/</ref> and autists have a high risk of inceldom.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#tocMental</ref> Autism has been suggested to be a good measure of developmental instability/mutational load due to the correlations with de novo mutations mentioned above.<ref>https://doi.org/10.1007/s40806-017-0084-x</ref> | For example, incels on [[incels.co]] disproportionately describe themselves as autistic<ref>https://incels.co/threads/survey-results-for-october-2019.147774/</ref> and autists have a high risk of inceldom.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#tocMental</ref> Autism has been suggested to be a good measure of developmental instability/mutational load due to the correlations with de novo mutations mentioned above.<ref>https://doi.org/10.1007/s40806-017-0084-x</ref> | ||
Deleterious mutations appear to also degrade the general quality of the phenotype, so people with a higher mutational load may be less physically attractive on average. | |||
High mutational load is associated with greater fluctuating asymmetry, though the effects of higher levels of this trait on physical attractiveness and overall mating behavior seem mixed, due to poor quality research and differing methods of measuring this trait.<ref>https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/c7f1/ed676ed9d7440fa3c1cad3ebb37589f39d57.pdf</ref> | |||
