Alright, here’s something fun - people spilled the tea on why their incel friends are perpetually single. It’s a mix of wild, weird, and sometimes painfully true reasons. Let’s dive right in!

So, this college buddy called himself an incel without saying it. Typical "why don’t girls like me?" vibe, blaming his looks and feeling women are shallow. But dude, overweight people do get dates if they’re cool and fun! The real zinger? A quote from The Social Network sums it up perfectly: it’s not because you’re a nerd - it’s because you’re a jerk. Ouch, but true.
Incels started as a little internet thing and then boom, became this whole messy scene filled with grumbles about women, society, and just plain old bad vibes. These guys think love is blocked for them no matter what.
They blame everything from their looks to societal rules - mostly blaming women. They hang out in online echo chambers loaded with memes and shared gripes.
Imagine a club where everyone’s complaining about how unlucky they are with love. Not the cheerleader squad, right?
Not a buddy, but my almost 60-year-old uncle? He’s never left his parents’ house, won’t work even with a nursing degree, spends his days drinking and tattling on strangers, hiding behind payphones (yeah, really), and moaning that no women want him because they’re all "whores." Spoiler alert: it’s because he’s a total jerk with zero redeeming qualities. No job, no social skills, just endless excuses. Yikes.
This guy’s jacked and helped me get into lifting, but man, his personality? Nonexistent. He’s got a truck he can’t afford, a weird beard, and treats women like prizes to collect. His whole life is a macho act, but women don’t want a fake dude - they want a person. If he just dropped the act for 30 seconds, he could get someone, but nope, he’s stuck in his own head.
Edit: He’s not gay, but his texting skills? Scary. He runs off at the mouth about the “perfect” woman (short, white, virgin, etc.), but freaks them out with creepy messages. Spoiler: it's not a good look.
Their biggest beef? Women are shallow, other guys have it better, and they’re doomed forever. Some of them go full meltdown mode with lots of blaming and self-pity, which doesn’t exactly make friends or dates fall into their laps.
Experts say not all of them are super violent, but the whole vibe often turns into a pity party that traps them rather than helps.
Here's a throwback: 22, virgin, gaming non-stop with dude friends, scared of women, and full of hate mixed with longing. But then, he forced himself to go to a party and met some female friends. Suddenly, everything changed. He realized women are just people and friendship opened up a whole new world. Moral? Maybe the problem isn’t women, it’s just not getting out there.
I'm a total nerd, so I know this type. They swear they're nice, but they’re kinda hateful toward women and hate when you suggest they maybe improve their personality. They stink, never shower, and act like “normies” is a bad word. Newsflash: you can rock the nerd look and still smell OK. Just saying.
This guy didn’t get why a woman needed to drive home at night instead of walking through a sketchy neighborhood. He kept pressuring her with "But you could carry pepper spray!" Dude, that’s why women avoid you - they’ve got their own world, not yours.
How did this all start? Back in ’93, a Canadian named Alana gave us the phrase “involuntary celibate” on her website - it was a little safe space for people struggling with romantic stuff.
Fast forward, and it turned into some pretty intense online hangouts with lots of complaining and harsh talk.
Maybe the biggest lesson? Stop trusting 4chan as your guide to women. Seriously, it’s the worst advice out there.
My roommate won’t date anyone with even a little body fat, but hasn’t had a decent hookup in years unless he flew to Southeast Asia. He wants a better job so he can date “hot” girls, but won’t take a simple entry level job I offered. His problem? His standards focus on looks, but he’s not bringing much else to the table.
These incel friends want perfection, like rich models who buy Lambos and throw group parties. Reality check: they’re broke, jobless, and picky to a fault. One was shown a nice woman but turned her down because she wasn’t "his type." Um, yeah, that’s why you’re single, buddy. Maybe try caring about others for once?
By the 2000s, these guys took over spots on Reddit and 4Chan, complaining up a storm and blaming women nonstop. Before you knew it, there were whole websites dedicated to their gripes. In 2017, Reddit finally kicked them out because things got too wild.
Short and sweet: dude won’t shower, has the personality of a wet cat, thinks his dream girl must be a supermodel virgin who does everything for him. Spoiler: She’s not going to want a stinky dude in stained clothes who acts like a cartoon villain.
Here’s a wild concept: girls aren’t some mysterious game to beat. They’re humans. Treat ‘em like it.
This guy’s super thin with a weird mustache but thinks he's gonna score a girl with Beyonce booty and Pamela Anderson t**s. Real talk? No one’s perfect like that. Maybe clean up and talk to normal girls instead of dreaming?
And it’s not just online drama. This attitude creeps into real life, even schools, coloring how some boys see girls and women, which just keeps the cycle going.
This dude talks down to everyone like they’re kids; he’s never genuine and thinks he’s better than everyone else. Friends might tolerate it, but no one’s falling in love with that attitude anytime soon.
My friend claims he only wants a 30-something virgin, super-religious, perfect woman with zero cats and no smoking habits. But at my wedding? He was drooling over my gorgeous, thrice-divorced Jewish best friend. Seems like he mostly just wants someone hot and drops the list if the looks check out.
This was a big rant from a self-proclaimed incel. Being just "nice" isn’t enough to get a date. You gotta have personality, hygiene, ambition, and the guts to actually ask someone out. Also, don’t expect women to just fall for you if you’re throwing a pity party and refusing to show your real self.
If you see everyone else as an a*****e, maybe it’s you. Spoiler: you might be the problem, not the world.
This guy totally overreacts and stalks people when stressed and hasn’t quite grown up emotionally. Yeah, that’s not a good look either.
He believes getting laid will fix all his problems - like magic. But all it’s done is make him more miserable, heavier, and angrier. Guess what? Sex isn’t a human right and blaming women for your problems won’t make them disappear.
Mid-20s, no job, smokes all day, and still living rent-free with Mom. But he refuses to grow up or look for work, claiming "this is my last chance to chill." Newsflash: your last chance ended years ago.
26, never in a serious relationship, few friends, and a personality that needs work. Real talk: first step is realizing you have a problem. Second? Figuring out how to not be such a social mess.
This guy’s a pudgy, bald dude who won’t settle for anything less than a Playboy model. He’s turned down genuinely nice women because they weren’t "his type." Here's a hint: the “type” for most people is just a decent human being.
25-year-old virgin with crippling social anxiety, stutters, zero confidence, and no idea how to talk to people. Like, has never been to a party. He hates himself but also wants connection. It’s a tough spot.
Comes on way too strong, hugs everyone, and floods girls with Facebook messages - even if they’re taken. The dude’s good looking, but this borderline harassment is why he’s still single.
One friend is a straight-up creep obsessed with lolicon and wants a teenage-looking girl who shares his weird hobbies. Another is a sad sack with a dumb nickname. And then there's the nice guy who’s actually funny and sociable but just hasn’t found the right match yet.
This guy is so bland he makes vanilla look spicy. Nice? Yep. Interesting, funny, or generous? Nope. Being ‘just nice’ won’t land you a date when the world is full of smart and fun nice guys.
My stepson won’t take pride in his looks or even wash his clothes but blames ‘everyone else’ for his lack of romantic success. Once blamed liberals for his failures… because that makes total sense.
He admits he’s ugly, boring, selfish, lazy, and empathy-deficient. So... yeah. That might be the problem.
My cousin only had one girlfriend and she dumped him because he was super needy - holding hands all the time and feeding her nonstop. Now he whines he's too dark and fat for anyone to love. Plus, he’s so elitist about his favorite horror films that talking to him is exhausting.
Meet Edwin: 31, virgin, anime-obsessed, patchy beard, overweight, and obsessed with finding a petite Japanese virgin with a crooked tooth. Oh, and his best asset? A 1996 Honda Civic with 203,000 miles on it. Bless his heart.
Moved to Japan over 10 years ago and still haven’t met a real-life weeaboo. So why are incels obsessed with Japan and anime rather than literally anywhere else? The mystery deepens.
25, decent looking, good guy, but utterly terrified to talk to girls. He cries about it drunk, wishes he could just be himself, but can’t quite get the hang of flirting. One day, he’ll get there. Hopefully.
Only interested in married women and models, but gets cranky when logically set up with dates that just don’t “fit.” Good job and all, but his approach is pure cringe.
This dude was normal but then went full rage on Facebook, blaming women for everything: bitching they pick douchebags, calling women boring, and whining about being objectified. Classmates kept telling him to chill out - because yeah, that’s not a good way to win hearts.
Partners in class, decent at work, but man oh man, he thinks all women are snarky b*****s sleeping with every dude. Once rudely asked a girl who she’d hooked up with at a party. Awkward doesn’t even cover it.
Claims he just doesn’t put in the effort, but the problem’s how he talks: calling women "hos," whines that nerdy girls are lesbians or ugly, and openly talks about every attractive woman he sees like he’s narrating a wildlife special. Not the best wingman.
Overweight, not taking care of himself, but wants a tiny, bootylicious angel. He almost ruins friendships because he ‘falls in love’ with every single female friend, gets jealous, and shuts down if they don’t respond. Also super stubborn and lies about stuff. Classic case of wishing for love without facing the truth.
Claimed he wasn’t always incel, but has terrible opinions, loves his movie collectibles more than anything, and flips out faster than you can blink. Apparently, no one’s perfect, but his personality’s far from helping.
Not sure, but he’s only into tall, skinny, white girls who already have tons of attention. Short answer? Set your sights lower, dude.
Yes, you’re nice, but you actually have to talk to women and maybe leave the house once in a while (or download Tinder). You won’t magically be asked out by lonely ladies if you’re stuck home playing video games.
This might be me: highlights of the week include making Excel templates, jogging, reading, and gaming. Not exactly party material. Most places where you meet people just aren’t fun for me, so I avoid them. But hey, I’m content. Sorta.
Some feel everyone’s constantly manipulating and pushing their limits, convinced no one sees things from their side. Probably explains a lot about their cranky attitudes.
Guy can’t work up the nerve to talk to anyone beyond his two guy friends. Wants a girlfriend but chickens out on dates and social events. Spoiler: social anxiety and wanting love don’t mix unless you do something about it.
20 years old, never kissed a girl yet, short and skinny Asian guy who’s pretty funny and nice. Online dating’s tough in his shoes, but he’s resilient and stays positive.
Maybe me again - super boring hobbies and rarely go out. Feels like most places where I'd meet people just aren’t for me, so I stay home. It’s comfy but probably doesn’t help the single life.
Friend texts like a pity-riddled ancient scroll, every message a mopey sigh fest. It’s so resigned and sob storyy it’s painful. Comfort or move on, buddy.
Grew up pretty social, but family wasn’t. Brother’s stuck in solitude, pushing strong opinions and isolating himself. Makes you wonder how much our upbringing shapes us.
Are incels just guys who can’t get laid, or guys who can’t and hate women because of it? Because if it’s the first, Reddit sure loves to trash people with confidence issues. Just saying.
What if you just said ‘screw it’ and gave every girl a shot instead of holding out for a ‘type’? Some of us do that and it works out pretty well.
