*'''Hard sciences''': Harder fields of study may have more incels as they are more evolutionary novel. They are also more time consuming and competitive, reducing time for socializing and hence for sex. Harder courses also tend to have fewer women in them. | *'''Hard sciences''': Harder fields of study may have more incels as they are more evolutionary novel.

*'''Feminism''': The prevalence of [[feminism]] in academia may be shaming male academics to be impotent [[nice guy]]s. The fact that women in Western countries are now substantially more educated than men (especially younger women) indicates that modern academia is not strongly selecting for intelligence but other traits, such as conscientiousness and agreeableness, and that particularly masculine men may be excluded by the academe. So the predominant ideology is likely also reflective of the demographics and traits of the people that are groomed for academia by the modern education system and society as a whole. Intelligent people may also be more likely to be able to correctly discern what ideology is currently dominant in society, and as Western countries are very liberal and very feminist (in historical terms), it is likely that more intelligent people in general therefore tend to conform themselves more to feminist attitudes. | *'''Feminism''': The prevalence of [[feminism]] in academia may be shaming male academics to be impotent [[nice guy]]s.

*''' 'Beta behavior' ''': Intelligence has been found to be weakly correlated with pro-social behavior, with this relationship being stronger for verbal intelligence and likely explicable by common genes partially mediating both intelligence and pro-social behavior.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0160289620300611</ref> Insofar in that it is commonly claimed that Western women in particular do not like '[[nice guy|nice guys]]', particularly when they are young and not interested in settling down with a [[beta provider]], one would expect intelligent men to be more likely to be lumped in the 'nice guy' category and rejected by women based on this association between intelligence and pro-social behavior. | *''' 'Beta behavior' ''': Intelligence has been found to be weakly correlated with pro-social behavior, with this relationship being stronger for verbal intelligence and likely explicable by common genes partially mediating both intelligence and pro-social behavior.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0160289620300611</ref> Insofar in that it is commonly claimed that Western women in particular do not like '[[nice guy|nice guys]]', particularly when they are young and not interested in settling down with a [[beta provider]], one would expect intelligent men to be more likely to be lumped in the 'nice guy' category and rejected by women based on this association between intelligence and pro-social behavior. Indeed, more intelligent men invest more in romantic relationships and are less likely to engage in aggressive partner-directed behaviors like insults and sexual coercion.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886924003623</ref> | ||
*'''Hypergamy''': The fact that educated women are generally reluctant to date men unless they earn more money than them (see [[hypergamy]]) may increase incel rates among academics. A singledom crisis has been observed among highly educated women.<ref>https://www.edge.org/response-detail/26747</ref> <br />Though it could also be argued that this would actually increase the demand on highly intelligent men as a group, due to women generally demanding at least parity in terms of social status and education when considering long-term partners and there being a moderate association between intelligence and education level. There is also a moderate positive correlation between intelligence and income. | *'''Hypergamy''': The fact that educated women are generally reluctant to date men unless they earn more money than them (see [[hypergamy]]) may increase incel rates among academics.

*'''Environmentalism''': Environmentalism may make academic men less attractive to women as they seem more likely to be drawn to that ideology, with education level being associated with lower participation in activities revolving around conspicuous consumption and greater overall awareness of environmental issues.<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0013916511416647</ref><br />This poses an issue for the sexual success of environmentally conscious men as women generally prefer men who display wealth<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Women_.28and_men.29_pay_more_attention_to_high_status_men.2C_not_high_status_women</ref> and eat meat.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Vegetarian_men_are_less_attractive.2C_likable.2C_and_masculine_to_women_than_omnivorous_men</ref> <br />It may also serve to generate [[environmentalism|overall pessimism and disinterest in procreation]].<ref>https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11111-021-00379-5</ref> | *'''Environmentalism''': Environmentalism may make academic men less attractive to women as they seem more likely to be drawn to that ideology, with education level being associated with lower participation in activities revolving around conspicuous consumption and greater overall awareness of environmental issues.<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0013916511416647</ref><br />This poses an issue for the sexual success of environmentally conscious men as women generally prefer men who display wealth<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Women_.28and_men.29_pay_more_attention_to_high_status_men.2C_not_high_status_women</ref> and eat meat.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Vegetarian_men_are_less_attractive.2C_likable.2C_and_masculine_to_women_than_omnivorous_men</ref> <br />It may also serve to generate [[environmentalism|overall pessimism and disinterest in procreation]].<ref>https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11111-021-00379-5</ref> | ||
