'''Too much focus on looks''': Superficial traits like looks, height, income, masculinity are at best weak predictors of sexual success as measured by e.g. partner count,<ref>https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-006-9075-x</ref><ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/1474704915604563</ref><ref>https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/13504851.2011.587758</ref><ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Across_91_studies.2C_bodily_masculinity_was_predictive_of_men.27s_mating_and_reproductive_success</ref> with muscularity being the only consistent predictor of lifetime sexual success among a variety of superficial variables,<ref>https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.06.980896v3</ref> so looks are unlikely to explain most inceldom except for extremely physically unattractive individuals perhaps. Men are also seemingly bad at accurately judging their own looks.<ref>[https://doi.org/10.2307/3033724 http://doi.org/10.2307/3033724]</ref><ref>https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/sjop.12631</ref> However, looks ''do'' matter somewhat in terms of {{W|assortative mating}} as attractiveness ratings within couples (both short and long-term) are moderately correlated (r = .4), meaning very attractive people rarely mate with very unattractive ones.<ref>https://dor.org/10.1037/0033-2909.104.2.226</ref> | '''Too much focus on looks''': Superficial traits like looks, height, income, masculinity are at best weak predictors of sexual success as measured by e.g. partner count,<ref>https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-006-9075-x</ref><ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/1474704915604563</ref><ref>https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/13504851.2011.587758</ref><ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Across_91_studies.2C_bodily_masculinity_was_predictive_of_men.27s_mating_and_reproductive_success</ref> with muscularity being the only consistent (but also weak) predictor of lifetime sexual success among a variety of superficial variables,<ref>https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.06.980896v3</ref> so looks are unlikely to explain most inceldom except for extremely physically unattractive individuals perhaps.

'''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> | '''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.

'''Female sexuality more flexible than assumed''': Most blackpillers and redpillers, especially those focusing on female mate choice, regard female sexual desire is very inflexible, however there is substantial evidence that female sexuality is actually ''more'' malleable by culture than men's (see [[Roy Baumeister]]'s research). | '''Female sexuality more flexible than assumed''': Most blackpillers and redpillers, especially those focusing on female mate choice, regard female sexual desire is very inflexible, however there is substantial evidence that female sexuality is actually ''more'' malleable by culture than men's (see [[Roy Baumeister]]'s research). | ||
