Today, I had to explain to a co-worker what an 'incel' was. For those who don't know, it's short for "involuntary celibate", and not in fact, the name of a medication for gout.
Basically, that they don't have a romantic partner despite wanting to have a romantic partner. But it's never (or almost never) the fault of the "incel" in question that they're in this state. Routinely, even though they are "nice guys", they don't get dates. For reasons.

Or they don't get laid. For reasons. But, again, the recurring pattern is that it's never their fault. Because, I don't know, they think that when they were born, they had a sticker on them listing exactly how often they're going to get laid? Yeah, it doesn't work like that.

When you're born, the only, ONLY guarantee you have is that eventually, you will die. That's it. That's the only thing in life that absolutely WILL happen.

And guys, I hate to break it to you, but if you're being nice to a woman solely for the chance she'll sleep with you.... you're not actually being nice.

But the weird thing is, a fair number of these "incels" aren't really that nice. They exhibit a lot of misogyny, and even endorse violence towards women. And guys, again, I hate to break it to you, but threatening women isn't exactly a great method for trying to hook up.

Now, I'm not claiming to be an expert on relationships. Hell, the last serious relationship I was in was in High School. That was around 30 years ago. But this isn't rocket science. Yeah, dating is not easy, but being a shithead isn't the way to go.
