Incels are equal parts interesting and sad

I was watching a video made by TL;DR. Who makes amazing evidence driven videos on youtube. He decided to talk about the issue of social isolation and how that affects incels. He made some interesting points that got me thinking. I would definitely recommend the video if you have some interest in the subject yourself. Personally, I find incels to be rather pitiable, but interesting nonetheless. Incels are entirely unique to the modern era. Sure, there may have been incels throughout history; however, they were not very vocal about that. We now live in the era where you can be extremely vocal no matter who you are. So maybe these people have always existed, but we are now finding out about them. Either way, it is definitely an interesting study in social interactions between humans. For those that do not know, an incel is an involuntary celibate. Meaning they want to have a romantic partner, but cannot find one. I won't repeat the points made in the TL;DR video. If you want to watch it, go right ahead. Instead, i'll be talking about more of a weird phenomenon I have observed regarding incels. You would think that you have to be horribly deformed or disabled to be an incel. Maybe that used to be the case, but not anymore. If you go to any place the incels gather, you will easily be able to find or start a post where the incels will show what they look like. A large amount of them are decently attractive. They are mostly men as well, obviously. It is weird seeing guys that are pretty good looking claim to not be able to find a partner. Some for years on end they've been searching. I think this is a byproduct of modern dating. The higher standards of women and lower standards of men. There is a fair amount of evidence that points to this always having been a thing; however, I believe it has gotten worse in the look at me era. Looks are more important then they have ever been before. The 80-20 rule is another reason we are seeing more and more of these incels. I will confess that I myself have been searching for a partner for around a year now, and haven't found one. That said, so long as I have a modicum of self'-respect, I will never join the incels in their never ending hatred of women and society. Well, not women anyways. Society has and always will be worthy of hatred. If for nothing else, it's unsympathetic approach to people that suffer.
