Demographics of inceldom: Difference between revisions

* Virgins older than 30 are rare (1-2%) and they strongly differ from the overall population. About 50% of adult virgins aged around 28 identify as [[asexual]]s ([[volcel]]s) compared to only about 1% of the overall population, and they are a bit more likely are overweight, low-functioning or physically unattractive when compared to [[sex haver]]s.<ref name="haydon2013"></ref>

* Adult virgins younger than 30 are ''much'' more common than late adults virgins (>15%), and hence, they differ less from the overall population and are more often [[incels]] due to asexuals being rare (<1%). Among these virgins, slow [[life history]] strategists such as Asian males are more common (i.e. more likely volcel) as are [[femcel]]s getting college degrees,<ref name="haydon2013"></ref> but the most sexually frustrated early adult virgins may rather be (failed) fast life history strategists who are the most affected by a recent decline in casual sexual behavior and related risky behavior (more likely incel).  Slow life history incels may potentially be facing an [[evolutionary mismatch]], expecting [[arranged marriage|to be married]] (as was common throughout history), but not getting married due to the recent decline in marriage norms.<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1474704919887706</ref>

* Even more common is the category of the sexually frustrated or those experiencing [[dry spell]]s with 51% of U.S. millenials not having had a steady partner in 2019, and roughly 30% reporting to be often or always lonely.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#30.25_of_millennials_are_often_or_always_lonely_and_22.25_have_no_friends</ref> Being an even larger share of the population, the group of the sexually frustrated is expected to differ even less from the overall population.
