The [[MPUA]] [[Ross Jeffries]] published "How to Get the Women You Desire Into Bed" in 1992, which argued against [[nice guy]] behaviour. The [[alt.seduction.fast]] Usenet newsgroup was founded by Lewis De Payne, a student of [[Ross Jeffries]] in 1994. In the same year, [[Michel Houellebecq]] published his first novel, "[[Whatever]]", which frankly discussed sexual stratification and pauperization.  
At the arrival of the 1990s, the only platform of the inceosphere was the Alt.support.shyness newsgroup which was created two years prior in 1988. The [[MPUA]] [[Ross Jeffries]] published "How to Get the Women You Desire Into Bed" in 1992, which argued against [[nice guy]] behaviour. The [[alt.seduction.fast]] Usenet newsgroup was founded by Lewis De Payne, a student of [[Ross Jeffries]] in 1994. In the same year, [[Michel Houellebecq]] published his first novel, "[[Whatever]]", which frankly discussed sexual stratification and pauperization.  


Although the term "incel" did exist in the late-90s, the most common term in the incelosphere used to refer to involuntarily celibate people in the 90s was, "socially anxious men", on the [[alt.support.shyness]] Usenet Group and "AFC" meaning "average frustrated chump" on the [[alt.seduction.fast]] (ASF) Usenet newsgroup. [[Alana's Involuntary Celibacy Project]] coined the word [[incel]] in 1997 which eventually cultivated into academic research on incels.  This research was published and called the [[Donnelly Study]] by sociologist [[Denise Donnelly]]. The terms "incel" and involuntary celibate" subsequently became valid sociological terms. A mailing list (forum) was created on the Project's site in 1997, the first official incel forum.  In 1998, members of [[alt.support.shyness]] were invited, helping to populate the mailing list.  Alana's mailing list was a [[feminist]] forum, and Alana had created the first incel forum as a lesbian with dating experience.  Alana stopped maintaining the forum around 2003.
