'''Too much focus on looks''': Correlations between looks, height, income, masculinity and partner count are only weak,<ref>https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-006-9075-x</ref><ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/1474704915604563</ref><ref>https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/13504851.2011.587758</ref><ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Across_91_studies.2C_bodily_masculinity_was_predictive_of_men.27s_mating_and_reproductive_success</ref> so looks are unlikely to explain most inceldom except for extremely physically unattractive individuals perhaps.

Historical evidence suggests that [[arranged marriage]] was very common, so the complete absence of marriage may pose an [[evolutionary mismatch]], resulting in inceldom. | '''Too much focus on looks''': Correlations between looks, height, income, masculinity and partner count are only weak,<ref>https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-006-9075-x</ref><ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/1474704915604563</ref><ref>https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/13504851.2011.587758</ref><ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Across_91_studies.2C_bodily_masculinity_was_predictive_of_men.27s_mating_and_reproductive_success</ref> so looks are unlikely to explain most inceldom except for extremely physically unattractive individuals perhaps.

'''Too little focus on economics''': Economic causes of inceldom like wealth inequality and economic stagnation come up short. Costs of living increasing discourage family formation.<ref>https://ablogaboutincels.com/2019/12/21/expectations/</ref> Millennials have only a fraction of the worth babyboomers had at the same age.<ref>http://archive.is/wip/z8CaW</ref> Many blackpillers only focus on hypergamy as an economic issue. | '''Too little focus on economics''': Economic causes of inceldom like wealth inequality and economic stagnation come up short.
