* By far the most distinguishing feature of adult virgins aged around 28 years, is that about 50% identify as [[asexual]]s ([[volcel]]s) compared to only about 1% of the overall population.<ref name="haydon2013"></ref><ref name="asexuals"></ref> | ** By far the most distinguishing feature of adult virgins aged around 28 years, is that about 50% identify as [[asexual]]s ([[volcel]]s) compared to only about 1% of the overall population.<ref name="haydon2013"></ref><ref name="asexuals"></ref> | ||
* Adult virgins are also a bit more likely overweight, low-functioning and/or physically unattractive when compared to [[sex haver]]s, and they tend to have markers of a slow [[life history]], e.g. lower engagement in risky behavior, later onset of puberty, are more often East Asian.<ref name="haydon2013"></ref> Further, there is an overrepresentation of women getting college degrees.<ref name="haydon2013"></ref> | ** Adult virgins are also a bit more likely overweight, low-functioning and/or physically unattractive when compared to [[sex haver]]s, and they tend to have markers of a slow [[life history]], e.g. lower engagement in risky behavior, later onset of puberty, are more often East Asian.<ref name="haydon2013"></ref> Further, there is an overrepresentation of women getting college degrees.<ref name="haydon2013"></ref> | ||
* Early adult virgins | * '''Early adult virgins:''' This category is increasingly common these days, with about half of U.S. 12th graders never having dated. This being a much larger demographic group than late adult virgins, it is expected to differ much less from the overall population. | ||
* Even more common than early adult virgins 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 a large share of the population, it is expected to differ very little from the overall population. | * '''Dry spell''': Even more common than early adult virgins 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 a large share of the population, it is expected to differ very little from the overall population. | ||
* A special incel case is that of husbandcels in [[deadbedroomer|dead bedroom]] couples, as women lose their sex drive much sooner than men, especially when cohabiting closely.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Women_rapidly_lose_interest_in_sex_once_in_a_stable_relationship_or_living_with_a_man</ref> | * '''Dead bedroom''': A special incel case is that of husbandcels in [[deadbedroomer|dead bedroom]] couples, as women lose their sex drive much sooner than men, especially when cohabiting closely.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Women_rapidly_lose_interest_in_sex_once_in_a_stable_relationship_or_living_with_a_man</ref> | ||
* Fast life history incels may be the most sexually frustrated and may be facing an [[evolutionary mismatch]] due to a recent decline in casual sexual behavior and related risky behavior during adolescence and early adulthood, or fast life history minorities living in a host population with a slow life history (see the [[#Race|race section]]). However, some fast life history minority may also be having more sex than ever.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#The_top_5-20.25_of_men_.28ie._.22Chads.22.29_are_now_having_more_sex_than_ever_before</ref> | * '''Life history speed''': | ||
* Slow life history incels may also be facing an evolutionary mismatch, such as 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> or women getting college degrees [[hypergamy|refusing to date down]]. | ** Fast life history incels may be the most sexually frustrated and may be facing an [[evolutionary mismatch]] due to a recent decline in casual sexual behavior and related risky behavior during adolescence and early adulthood, or fast life history minorities living in a host population with a slow life history (see the [[#Race|race section]]).
