Some [[feminist|feminists]] have claimed the comparison in acceptance to invitations to sex is not a fair measure of how much women suffer from sexlessness because women need to know the men first to be safe. However, there is evidence that women do engage in very adventurous sex with no hope for reciprocity or investment on part of the man, namely if the man has exceptionally [[statusmaxxing|high status]]<ref>https://doi.org/10.1017/S0140525X00029939</ref> and/or is exceptionally good looking and even abusive/violent men (see [[polygamy]], [[hybristophilia]], [[bodyguard hypothesis]], [[sexy sons hypothesis]] etc.), though such mating practices may be limited to [[life history|fast-life strategists]].

Feminists have a point in that women have more [[Bateman's principle|parental investment]], but the phenomena mentioned suggest some women exploit their ability to choose from many men somewhat, so their inceldom seems more [[fake depression|self-inflicted]], when it occurs. Women seem naturally [[female solipsism|oblivious]] to these facts. | ||
Some findings suggest men with poor mating performance (e.g. experiencing singledom) are more prone to depressive symptoms, but other findings suggest that poor mating performance is related with equally lower well-being for both sexes (see [[adverse effects of inceldom]]). Yet, the difference in libido and coyness should imply that women, but not men, can get sex easily if they wanted. Women exhibit also a more [[fake depression|childish neuroticism]] overall which is also often not taken as seriously. There is a chance that both men and women are, however, substantially selected for [[arranged marriage]], so even though women might be able to get into a relationship easier, their behavioral dispositions might ultimately prevent them from doing so, possibly also driving them into an adverse condition when their marriage is not arranged for them and when there is no societal pressure to settle down (see [[evolutionary mismatch]]). | Some findings suggest men with poor mating performance (e.g. experiencing singledom) are more prone to depressive symptoms, but other findings suggest that poor mating performance is related with equally lower well-being for both sexes (see [[adverse effects of inceldom]]).
