'''Cultural factors overlooked''': [[Demographics of inceldom]] suggest that there is a trend toward less sex for both men and women, which is accompanied by a decline in risky behavior as well as a trend towards later marriage, i.e. less strictly enforced monogamy.

Historical evidence suggests that marriage is a human universal,<ref>http://joelvelasco.net/teaching/2890/brownlisthumanuniversals.pdf</ref> with most societies primarily practicing [[arranged marriage]], so the complete absence of marriage may pose an [[evolutionary mismatch]], resulting in inceldom, in addition to casual sex becoming less common as well. Further, [[environmentalism|environmentalist]] fears about overconsumption and overpopulation are discouraging procreation in Western nations.<ref>https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11111-021-00379-5</ref> | ||

'''Too little focus on economics''': Economic causes of inceldom like wealth inequality and economic stagnation come up short. Costs of living increasing discourage family formation.<ref>https://ablogaboutincels.com/2019/12/21/expectations/</ref> Millennials have only a fraction of the worth babyboomers had at the same age.<ref>http://archive.is/wip/z8CaW</ref> Many blackpillers only focus on hypergamy as an economic issue, but the effect sizes of women dating up are typically pretty small (see [[hypergamy]]). | '''Too little focus on economics''': Economic causes of inceldom like wealth inequality and economic stagnation come up short.
