Men with high sexual success but low sexual desire were likely psychopathic, as psychopathy strongly predicted misogynistic attitudes, with a correlation coefficient of ''r'' = 0.712. This finding aligns with prior research showing that [[Dark triad|Dark Triad]] traits are generally linked to misogynistic and pro-rape attitudes,<ref>https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2023-02631-001</ref> likely without adversely affecting these men's mating success.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Dark_triad#Evidence_of_Dark_Triad_men_being_more_sexually_successful</ref> The least misogynistic group comprised men who reported both high desire for and levels of promiscuity.

Most likely, many women are either indifferent to these misogynistic attitudes or, in some cases, actually attracted to them.

Regardless, these findings collectively suggest that a man's expressed level of misogyny is unlikely to influence his status as involuntarily celibate. These collective findings challenge the notion that incel status reliably promotes misogynistic attitudes.
