Something I’ve always wondered is what kind of women were in the lives of incel men when they were young. Did they have a bad relationship with their mother? Did they lack sisters or other female family members? Or is their family situation irrelevant? Maybe some particular situation in their early years caused them to develop a complex around women?

    Nothing to do with upbringing. They lack the social skills and in most cases, attractiveness, to easily attract the opposite sex. Most you’ll notice really tried in their teen and younger years but when that didn’t pan out their brain essentially created a safe space in their mind where it can’t be their fault. It MUST be women are terrible people because I’m a great person and they don’t want me. Think of it like kids who’ve had a shit childhood. They see the world through a protective lens they’ve created to make their unpleasant reality easier to swallow.

      I’m a man with terrible social skills and low attractiveness, not sure what differed with me but I don’t hate women like those arseholes do. Don’t have a terribly high libido either though so maybe that’s the difference.

        • Terrible social skills
        • Low attraciveness
        • Depression
        • High libido

        Never hated women, but I allways sympathised with the incel community about feeling life as a burden.
        I still feel that way, but I made a decision to still be kicking as long as my parents are too.
