Guys who define themselves as “involuntarily celibate” spend rather a lot of their time trying to figure out how to make women as miserable as they are.
And so you find incels regularly advising their celibate colleagues to pointedly ignore all the attractive women in their vicinity. “If u even ACKNOWLEDGE femoids in public ur a bluepilled cuck,” one commenter on Incels.me recently declared. “Dont give them even the slightest validation, ignore them like nature intended us to.”
Most of his fellow incels agreed. “Yup,” wrote one. “Hurts their ego if nobody looks at them.”
“Giving females attention only benefits them, and not you, so I don’t see why you should,” another agreed.
But one commenter had what he thought was a better idea: Don’t ignore these women. Ask them out! They won’t say yes, obviously. but they might start to worry that they’re as ugly as you are!
CHECKMATE, FEMOIDS!
Incel is weaponized self-hatred.
Aren’t incels suppose to be INVOLUNTARILY celibate, not trying to be DELIBERATELY celibate? Incel not Decel?
Oh my… I actually feel sorry for this guy… “What’s the worst that could happen to women? If someone as hideous as me asks them out!”
This level of nonsense and bullcrap exceeds my expectations for “incel” whining. I’m mortified
So… a woman hit on him, but this dipshit thought she wasn’t good enough for him. I thought these guys were involuntarily celibate. Oh well, clearly that woman dodged a bullet there, so good for her.
to paraphrase Groucho Marx, “I would never go out with someone who would go out with me…”
My eyes just rolled so hard, they flew out of my head and disappeared.
Brb. Gotta ask my daughter to help me look for them before I step on them.
Just preemptively addressing Feminist guy. As we all know he’s going to say some bullshit he’s said a million times before.
No one cares
Unhappy misogynists are very unlikely to get laid, and then blame women for this. “Girls just wanna have fun” Be approachable and keep smiling.
Incel: “I like you. Since we’re in the same league, I think it could really work out between us”
Woman: “league? Oh, I don’t date men who assign arbitrary leagues to people.”
Incel: “No! I was calling you ugly! Be offended!”
Woman: *leaves*
Incel: “hypergamous bitch! Nice guys! Morning and evening height! Cock carousel!” *screeches*
Self-hatred makes you ugly, guys. Of course, so do the other kinds of hatred.
That’s probably the more likely scenario. Since incels just look like average guys and aren’t actually Frankenstein’s monster hideous, the woman would probably just be puzzled by the weirdly formal “since we’re in the same league, I think it could really work out between us” statement.
I’ve never heard of a woman having a self esteem crisis because a guy with an inadequate wrist circumference and feminine midface asked her out.
I used to be in a band. A man approached me after a show and said I looked unhappy on stage (that was true; I looked unhappy because we were having major sound problems and it was driving me nuts). He went on to say that since I had low self-esteem like him we would probably get along, and we should keep in touch.
No seriously. This happened.
Oddly enough, I did not run to the bathroom to cry and reevaluate my life. I also did not keep in touch.
I believe most women develop pretty thick skins early on, partly in response to this sort of thing. I know I did.
This incel thread reminds me of something you’d read in the old MAD magazine. I can picture the cartoon character illustrations now.
Jack Rickard illustrating?
I think Incels are involuntarily celibate is because they see sex as a status symbol, and not a pleasurable activity you can do with someone else.
@Shadowplay:
Heh. I had to look him up. I was a sort of intermittent MAD magazine reader when I was a preteen and teenager. One of the most inventive covers to me, I remember, wasn’t an illustration at all. It was a giant barcode that covered nearly the entire magazine’s cover. This was in 1978 or ’79. The headline was something like “We hope this causes computers everywhere to come to a grinding halt”. This was when barcodes were fairly new, I guess.
This does not seem like the right track to take if you wish to cease being celibate.
Nature: ur doin it rong.
As with all things “incel”, the celibacy is very voluntary indeed. Just never acknowledged as such. And bitterly kvetched about until everything is blue.
@WWTH
Of course, the problem is that they’re more like Victor Frankenstein than his creature. If they were like the creature they’d be kind and compassionate and people might consider dating then.
@WWTH
That sums up my appearance rather well, still can confirm no one’s ever reacted like that. And I mean, that’d only be scratching the surface as my body is also legit fucked up because of a number of malformations and later defects, basically I guess I’d look like the god of incels.
For some reason I still can’t crush the soul of a woman with a single glance, it’s like the superpowers are malfunctioning or something. Is it because of some rule like I should never have dated anyone ever ? Like those vegan powers in that movie ?
I’ve checked out SlutHate, and of the pictures I’ve seen posted, most of these ‘incel’ types look fairly average to me. Not unattractive. I think many of them will look at their younger photos many years later, and realize they looked OK, maybe even good-looking.
It’s not their looks that are the problem.
Off-topic, but it’s only April, and there are already BUGS flying around. Mosquitoes, flies, even wasps. They do give my cats something to chase.
ITYM “Off-topic, but it’s already April, yet there is still SNOW lying around. Ice pellets, flurries, even freezing rain.”
Something is wrong with the climate in the northeast. Spring is getting later and later, which is the opposite of what should be happening as a result of climate change. What the hell is going on?
@Surplus to Requirements:
Your guess is as good as mine. I think it was just last week that we had snow where I live, in the northeast, then this week some temps in the 80s.
I don’t live in New England, but it makes me think of the Mark Twain quote: If you don’t like the weather in New England now, just wait a few minutes.
Bugs. I actually sprayed myself with bug repellant in preparation for bed, cos’ the bugs get in my house.
We had a fucking foot of snow over the past 24 hours.
I WIN.
WWTH, yeah I saw that! Bloody awful.
