Historical data on age of marriage and reproduction suggests that late first marriages and late reproduction were not unheard of in history, especially in k-selected societies. Evidence from Sweden and Canada suggest the [[boomer]] generation was an outlier with particularly early marriages and reproduction.<ref>https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2017_Sweden_mean_age_at_marriage_1871-2016-sv.png</ref><ref>https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/11-630-x/11-630-x2014002-eng.htm</ref> In Denmark, the current mean age at first birth of 29 is comparable to the 1850s.<ref>https://www.ejog.org/article/S0301-2115(19)30407-5/fulltext</ref> | Historical data on age of marriage and reproduction suggests that late first marriages and late reproduction were not unheard of in history, especially in k-selected societies.

This suggests, for k-selected races, current late marriage practices are not a strong [[evolutionary mismatch]], so the psychological burden of inceldom may rather lie in the [[FOMO|fear of missing out]] and [[sexual envy]] provoked by a highly promiscuous minority and women being allowed to dress like [[whore]]s, and potentially other evolutionary mismatches such as the lack of gender segregation and a lack of guidance and motivation toward reproduction and marriage. However, for more r-selected groups living in these societies marriage and reproduction as late does likely pose a substantial mismatch, which may explain the higher prevalence of non-Whites among incels. | This suggests, for k-selected races, current late marriage practices are not a strong [[evolutionary mismatch]], so the psychological burden of inceldom may rather lie in the [[FOMO|fear of missing out]] and [[sexual envy]] provoked by a highly promiscuous minority and women being allowed to dress like [[whore]]s, and potentially other evolutionary mismatches such as the lack of gender segregation and a lack of guidance and motivation toward reproduction and marriage.
