    Two sides with unrealistically high standards which they themselves don’t meet. Plus they hate the others almost as much as they hate themselves.

    I don’t see this working out, guys.

      This. My wife’s brother isn’t a bad looking dude. I’d say maybe a solid 6. But he is exclusively attracted to women who are models or could be. A girl could be at a bar that most would find gorgeous, way out of his league, and he would be physically repulsed by her. He would nit pick every aspect of her build, hair, etc. He’s currently 35 and alone, living in his dad’s basement. Oh and he is a corrections officer, so there’s that.

        Weirdly enough the whole “involuntary celibate” thing originated from a queer woman, then the internet desided to hate her and to “reclaim” the term “incel” to people that are truly alone: extremely misogynistic men.

    The term femcel isn’t as universal as incel. Please compare the female dating strategy subreddit to blahaj zones femcel memes community

    And to actually answer your question, because many of them don’t actually want a partner, they want someone to blame and hate for not having a partner.

    I guess this is kind of like asking why don’t ugly people date eachother - because they don’t want to date an ugly person.

    Because they mostly all have terrible personalities and would find each other totally unbearable just like the rest of us do.

    They also generally don’t really want to date any sort of actual human that exists in the real world. They want to date a perfect parody of the opposite sex, incels are looking for someone who looks like Barbie (or whatever their idea of a perfect body type is, some go for a the petite almost childlike look after all) who wakes up looking like she just left the salon, who is totally subservient to all of his wants and needs, never speaks up unless it’s to stroke his ego, a perfect cook and maid, an oversexed freak in the sheets, who will bear however many children his twisted ego wants to inflict on the world but never gain a pound or show any stretch marks, wrinkles, or grey hair

    In short they don’t want to date a real person, they want a real doll who does their laundry and squeezes out children.

    And they’re convinced that these mythical creatures exist out in the real world but that someone is conspiring to keep them from them, because obviously they’re the perfect example of masculinity and why wouldn’t these perfect females be flocking to them otherwise?

    And I’m not certain exactly what sort of fictitious Superman feels are after, but the same overall sentiment applies.

    Or else they’re just deeply in the closet.

    The term incel came from a bisexual woman around 20 years ago. I think she started a support group online for it. The problem was that most of the people who wanted help, got it and left. This left… the people who would not be helped and that’s what it is. Still the original incel I believe ended up with a woman, it just so happened that she was one.

    There’s a lot more incels than femcels, and they’re all equally insufferable, toxic, and broken.

    I’m not sure but I would guess that there are ‘standards’ involved. Usually guys who go incel see a physical relationship as some sort of conquest.

    They are more interesed in the act than the person. And for that act, they want it to be some sort of achievement so rather than getting to know someone they only go by shallow characteristics.

    But usually incels are either physically unattractive or socially (very) awkward or a combination of both, making them unable to complete their conquest. Get rejected enough times and they’ll tell themselves the problem lies with women in general.

    I dunno about femcels, mostly because I’ve never seen one irl. I imagine they are also physically unattractive and/or socially awkward so they would never be ‘targeted’ by incel types.

    The guys I knew that fit the profile would also not be too keen on personal hygiene, healthy habits like proper food and drink and exercise and they dismissed pretty much anything mainstream society deems positive. Most of what they say or do comes from a negative place. I can imagine girls don’t really go for a guy like that, regardless if they are femcels or not.

    Just because you are an incel or femcel doesnt mean you dont have unrealistisc expectations about yourself. Sometimes, thats their problem to begin with.
