I had no idea that this is a real thing, but remembering guys I knew in high school, it makes sense. They just never grew up.

Incels have always been around, tbh. Nowadays they're more visible and can interact with fellow incels. Sadly, they don't use that interaction to get laid.
-
One has to wonder if "getting laid" is their real objective. It seems that what they really want is for women to be mindless automatons, without any self-agency or self-awareness - i.e., be like cows - so that they can acquire the female of their choice without being rejected.
-
It is as if they so objectify women that they feel that they should be able to order one from a catalog. My thought is that they only want the most-attractive women (in their eyes) and are unsatisfied with other women who don't match up to the profile of who they want.

So, rather than it being where these
#incels can't find sex with women, they can't have sex with the woman/women that they want to have sex with. It is like being surrounded by food, but refusing to eat anything other than the perfect NY Strip steak that isn't anywhere near them. -
Paradoxically, they see women both as mindless objects but also as clever, enticing and deceiving sluts who will have sex with everyone else, except for them. Their problem is their infantile understanding of sex, sexuality and intergender relations.

To a certain extent, I think that we can all understand the frustration of being rejected by someone to whom we have a strong attraction. That rejection can be outright and explicit, or it can be tacit. In any case, it can be devastating emotionally. We all go through it.

I can attest to this pain. I was a young gay kid who didn't know another gay person in the entire world, and who was surrounded by guys to whom I was attracted but had no attraction to or interest in me. I got angry because I was rejected, but the object of my desire ...

... instead chose someone who (in my eyes) didn't deserve him. It was maddening for me to realize that no matter how nice I was, no matter how much I was attracted to them, it made no difference because I wasn't at all what they were looking for. I suffered a LOT of heartbreak.
