** Being physically unattractive. In one study, people of either sex with below-average attractiveness had a 1.5-3x higher chance of remaining virgin during early adulthood compared to people of above-average attractiveness, however all 26 very unattractive guys in the study did have sex by the time they were around 28 years old,<ref name="haydon2013"></ref> and unattractive men do not more likely see prostitutes. However, half of the adult virgins in this study having reported to have no interest in sex, and it is unknown whether attractive virgins were more likely volcels than unattractive virgins. | ** Being physically unattractive.

* [[Life history|Slow-life strategy]] inherited from the parents thus potentially accompanied by an overall sex-negativity and high achievement expectations. Slow LH types are often [[volcel]]s. Slow LH may be related to adaptations for (late) [[arranged marriage]] as a stable bond of marriage enables investment in the offspring. Hence slow LH [[volceldom]] may eventually turn into [[inceldom]], if marriage gets delayed too much or never occurs, or when there is a lack of guidance toward marriage. | * [[Life history|Slow-life strategy]] inherited from the parents thus potentially accompanied by an overall sex-negativity and high achievement expectations.

Hence slow LH [[volceldom]] may eventually turn into [[inceldom]], if marriage gets delayed too much or never occurs, or when there is a lack of guidance toward marriage. In fact, lack of flirting skill has been identified as the main cause of inceldom, which may disproportionally affect slow-life strategists for whom contemporary overemphasis on free mating is particularly unnatural.<ref name="apostolouArticle"></ref><ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7218110/</ref><ref>https://www.researchgate.net/publication/349428337_Involuntary_singlehood_and_its_causes_The_effects_of_flirting_capacity_mating_effort_choosiness_and_capacity_to_perceive_signals_of_interest</ref><ref>Apostolou, M., & Wang, Y.
