Incel: the involuntary celibate who cannot find a woman because of the current society
The term incel indicates a certain category of individuals who have manifested themselves in the last twenty years, a group of straight men who cannot find the other half as they are periodically rejected by women. How does it feel not to feel attractive? Watch the video and get ready to discover the exact opposite as well, which is how a woman feels capable of turning the heads of all men!
Incel: what is meant by this term
Incel is a category made up almost exclusively of men who like women. An incel, however, does not have a woman, does not find a partner who loves him or a woman with whom to have sex: he is rejected by women who consider him ugly and undesirable. The term incel comes from the English and is formed by the words involuntary and celibate, in fact it identifies as we would say in Italian an involuntary celibate (an acronym not by choice, so to speak). In the USA this category is identified with a particular type of users online that foment hatred and supremacist attitudes as well as misogynist, racist and estemist theories.Incels are frequently accused of violent and offensive attitudes.
In more recent years this phenomenon has even been described as a terrorist threat. To this category of people he claimed responsibility for the famous Toronto bombing of 2018. It is estimated that at least six terrorist-type mass murders since 2014 have been committed by men who defined themselves online (or in their private writings) as incel.
But who first invented the term incel? It seems to have been a bisexual Canadian student, who goes by the name of Alana on the web, who created a site dedicated to involuntary celibates and talked about incel for the first time. This term is now widely used by many men who populate online forums and who complain on the web of not finding a partner, blaming the female gender and also contemporary society.
Incel and love affairs: the LMS Theory
Incels in online forums have married two theories that they have made their own. The first is called LMS Theory and concerns interpersonal relationships, the second, the RedPill Theory instead shows their vision of the world.
The first of the theories advanced by the incels is the LMS Theory which stands for Look, Money and Status.
According to this theory, the romantic attraction and sexual desire between men and women does not derive from harmony, character, good manners, education but depends only on physical beauty, wealth and status understood as the social fame of an individual in the environment in which he lives. . Even the loving sentiment is for them only a chemical event and has no other purpose than the continuation of the species.
In the incel forums we often talk about "looksmaxing" which in colloquial English means an improvement of the aesthetic aspect. With this word the incel indicates a series of practices to become more beautiful in the eyes of women. In particular, according to incel theories, what attracts women are the prominent jaw and jaw, lots of well-groomed and thick hair, a masculine gaze and an "above average height. That's why according to the practices of looksmaxing, incels take care of their body. and they try to become more muscular and attractive by also resorting to cosmetic surgery with implants in the chin, jaw and cheekbones.
Therefore, for incels, an individual finds a partner only if he scores a good mark in the areas of physical appearance, money and social status. Otherwise the individual is rejected during the courtship or abandoned by his partner if the latter meets a man with a higher LMS value. Understanding LMS theories is critical to understanding incels and evaluating their general world view: the Red Pill Theory.
Incel and worldview: the Red Pill Theory
According to the incels, men and women are biologically different and for this reason they have a different criterion of sexual selection. This results in women having a noticeable advantage over men. An incel that believes in the RedPill theory is referred to as redpill. Some adherents to this theory are not incel and may even have partners. In short, the two terms do not correspond.
A critique of contemporary society and a rejection of the sexual liberation that characterizes Western culture since "68 belongs to the RedPill theory. The adherents of this theory start from there the advantage that the female population would have over the male one. In fact, they give to women a strong sexual power that comes from their being more selective about love and sex. This is why with sexual liberation the former balance has fallen and today women would be free to abandon a partner with a low LMS value for a man with Highest LMS Score By peering at their chat on the forums, you can see that some are also speculating on solutions, including a return to a patriarchal society in which every man touches a woman.
The incel community featured on Reddit was shut down in 2017 for incitement to "hate. At the time, it had 42,000 members!" Since 2017, incels have moved to other social platforms: numerous current studies show how incel forums are real sounding boards for inconvenience and frustration. Chat between incels is full of violence, hate speech and offensive terms. What animates the choice to be and declare oneself incel is a strong resentment that can also be labeled as misogyny and misanthropy. Those who are incel despise themselves, are racist and often consider sex a due thing and not a pleasure. At the base there is however often a personality disorder because often those who define themselves incel are angry with the world and the role of women, frustrated and depressed. An attitude that is often the cause even before the effect of her inability to build a relationship with a woman.
Incel redpillati and culture: the role of science and literature
Often to support their thesis these individuals make their own scientific studies. For example, to explain the greater selective capacity of women, they refer to Trivers' parental investment theory which talks about the defense of offspring. They also refer to recent studies, such as the Tinder analysis which shows how men put many likes on many women but women like a few men on the app. Just like on the Tinder app, average beautiful women get a much higher number of likes than average beautiful men.
As for science, literary works are also used by redpillated incels as evidence of their ideas and of the LMS theory: they can be seen in some authors of the past, from Aristotle and Giacomo Leopardi, from Karl Marx to Cesare Pavese.
Incel redpillati: ideas on psychology and homosexuality
The incels who adopt this theory are critical of modern psychology and social psychology as they consider their condition of unhappiness as a consequence of external factors that cannot be changed in a short time (we always talk about Look, Money and Status). They consider themselves victims of an unbalanced society without equilibrium which therefore does not understand them.
As we might imagine, the redpillated incels have a particular point of view on homosexuality: they consider the male one as a natural way of being, innate and also advantageous because it is more equal. On the other hand, they believe that lesbianism does not really exist and that it is only a fallback caused by relationships with men of low LMS value who fail to satisfy women. In short, a mentality that I could define as quite closed and bigoted and a somewhat outdated vision of sex. Fortunately!
