In England, the mean age at first marriage used to be considerably lower in the 17th to 19th century with women marrying about five years earlier compared to today's marriages (25 v 30).<ref name="roth2001">https://journals.openedition.org/chs/737#bodyftn16</ref> In the same data, delay of marriage and fertility rates track economic trends fairly closely. In times of economic hardship in the mid 17th century, English women married as late as 27, not far from today's figure. | In England, the mean age at first marriage used to be considerably lower in the 17th to 19th century with women marrying about five years earlier compared to today's marriages (25 v 30).<ref name="roth2001">https://journals.openedition.org/chs/737#bodyftn16</ref> In the same data, delay of marriage and fertility rates track economic trends fairly closely.

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, a lack of guidance and motivation toward reproduction and marriage, an emphasis on sexual [[promiscuity]] and freedom conflicting with adaptations for [[arranged 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 disproportional prevalence of non-Whites among incels. The graph on the right suggests that this mismatch, to the extent it exists, affects women more than men. | 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, a lack of guidance and motivation toward reproduction and marriage, an emphasis on sexual [[promiscuity]] and freedom conflicting with adaptations for [[arranged marriage]], as well as increasing policing of human sexual behavior potentially creating [[approach anxiety]].
