They don’t have restraining orders in Roblox, why would that be a concern in the real world?
Its very much from poor parenting and inadequate socialization too, I believe. I’ll never forget something from high school. A very attractive girl, who I never even shared a word with, once told my friend, “that guy can get girls, but acts like he can’t.” Again, I didn’t even know or spend time with this girl. She just observed me, likely picking up from my affect and demeanor that was aloof and I lacked social acuity, which I did, because of a low self image. If anything, I thought I couldn’t attract a woman, which is incongruent to feeling entitled or deserving.
Keep in mind that was in ‘96, before I even used the Internet and before the incel term came about.
If I observed a healthy father-mother relationship in my own household, I think it could’ve gone a long way. So, when Molyneux mentioned broken homes, I wasn’t the slightest surprised.
It’s an informal term for what I just described.
Someone like that should seek advice and help from anywhere, but the internet.
That is honestly good advice for practically everything.

This.
INCELS aren’t lonely: they’re lonely people that believe they are being denied access to sex.
It’s the difference between sitting at home and saying “I’m hungry” vs sitting at home and saying “I’m hungry but I don’t know how to cook because society denied me access to a cookbook”

Good analogy, really. We’ve all botched a few steaks and caught the spaghetti on fire a couple of times.

It’s a pretty good strategy. Women just like men want different things. Are you making the argument that being respectful and honest keeps one from getting women?
Yeah and this is where incels lose me. Most women aren’t hyper feminist whatever that means. But a lot of these people (and you to an extent in this thread) tend to blame women for why they are unsuccessful. “I’m not getting laid right now because of woman’s empowerment” is simply a moronic excuse.
But hey at least all that shifts the blame to someone else.
You may be right. You see, my generation had the benefit of useful guidelines being promoted in our popular culture. This was back in the golden days when we were all swimming in pussy, before the powers that be conspired to keep our dicks dry.

Oh please. Everyone got laid whenever they wanted until women got the right to vote. Suddenly they felt empowered and thought it was ok to have standards.

I think the disconnect that we are having in this thread has to do with what you and I perceive to be ‘incels’ vs what they are thinking of as incels.
We’re talking about a larger problem in context, while they focus strictly on the incel movement which you see on online boards. I recently spent some time browsing those subs and yeah they are batshit insane.
But those are the extremes of the extreme and not at all what I spend time talking about. I feel what you and I point out is something larger, which gives way to some issues, which then gives way to other issues, which finally reaches a very small subsection of those individuals that turn to violence, or join these movements online. I don’t really care to bother with those individuals and rather focus on the larger issues.

Millennials, turn off your phones. Walk away from the computer. Go outside and simply enjoy a beautiful day. Go to a library and take out a real book that wasn’t written in the last 50 years, or more, and read it. Guess what? People had problems long before you were born. Join a gym (and don’t be a creep) to get fit and maybe meet people doing the same. Join a club. Libraries and universities have clubs and events. They have speakers come in. Take a class at a community college. Get used to being around people. When you pass someone on the street, say hi. Hold the door open for the next person. They will usually say thank you. When buying something, talk to the cashier.

Not for nothing, and this is something I’ve suggested to you before, but how about you define the term? I mean you’re referencing a phenomenon that you have the ability to address and correct … so why don’t you? Just seems weird to me you’d identify the problem, know how to address it reasonably, but don’t

I don’t think anyone without some serious societal influence and power can solve such an issue. Do you? Being serious.
