    No, incels are involuntary celibate. They won’t date single moms because single moms won’t touch em.

    You’re thinking of manosphere chuds.

      You seem to know this subject better than I do, so I believe you. I’ve been in a happy relationship for almost 20 years. So this entire phenomenon couldn’t be further removed from my reality…

        Basically incels are a specific thing, involuntarily celibate, but also what really defines them as incels is their misogyny stemming from a belief that women are to blame for their being celibate and not the fact that they themselves are the issue.

        So like I’ve been celibate for about 4 years now, but I know I’m human trash not women, so I don’t believe I’m considered an incel.

        Not that you asked lol

          Don’t sell yourself short! I don’t know you, you could be a racoon for all I know, but most people are at least a little trash, which means you’re probably just as good as most people. Better, even, based on your willingness to consider your own responsibility for your life.
