In addition to the greater prevalence of male inceldom, men may face more negative consequences, e.g. because they have a higher [[libido|sex drive]]. Also, in one study, male students who had hetronormative sex gained social status among both males and females, whereas female students lost peer popularity the more sex they had.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Males_gained_peer_status_through_having_had_sex_and_females_lost_peer_status</ref> The male virgin is a loser, whereas the female virgin is highly desirable among men as that [[paternity assurance|assures paternity]]. | In addition to the greater prevalence of male inceldom, men may face more negative consequences, e.g. because they have a higher [[libido|sex drive]].

Some findings suggest men with poor mating performance are more prone to depressive symptoms, but other findings suggest that poor mating performance is related with equally lower well-being for both sexes (see [[adverse effects of inceldom]]). Yet, the difference in libido and coyness should imply that women, but not men, can get sex easily if they wanted. Women exhibit also a more [[fake depression|childish neuroticism]] overall which should maybe not be taken as seriously as men's suffering and isolation. | Some findings suggest men with poor mating performance are more prone to depressive symptoms, but other findings suggest that poor mating performance is related with equally lower well-being for both sexes (see [[adverse effects of inceldom]]).
