* Over twice as many incels reported currently using a dating app compared to non-incel males (46% and 20%, respectively). Sparks et al. (2022) previously reported that a sample of self-identified incels were much less likely to have photos with friends on their dating app profiles (18% vs. 52%). In this prior study, incels were less selective in their swiping, reporting being open to broader age and geographical ranges for potential matches.

In this prior study, incels were less selective in their swiping, reporting being open to broader age and geographical ranges for potential matches. Despite this, incels also reported being less likely to talk to someone on a dating app and receiving fewer matches (reported match rate of 4.1% for incels and 31% for non-incels) than the non-incel group.<ref>https://www.researchgate.net/publication/361189211_An_Exploratory_Study_of_Incels'_Dating_App_Experiences_Mental_Health_and_Relational_Well-_Being</ref> | ||
