In my experience people aren't calling lonely men incels, they're calling men who are wholly unlikable who blame their loneliness and lack of sex on other people incels.

who are wholly unlikable

Well, I participate in such arguments because the only people wholly unlikable are those who are fine with calling others wholly unlikable.

Maybe I am, I really wouldn't know (my husband would though). If I am I would deal with it iand improve myself nstead of blaming it on others.

I actually, if you want to know, do not blame somebody not liking me on them. I blame them for first pretending and then stopping to do that, when I'm on a track painful to leave. Or maybe for not making sufficiently clear what is good and bad in their opinion, so that I would know not to approach.

I would even be fine with the whole world hating me or not caring, bring them on. But when somebody seems to be of your tribe, but really turns out not to be that further down the road, that's bad.

And since I'm making lots of effort to make my own specifics seen, so that wrong people wouldn't like me, it's even more depressing when they still make that mistake and waste my time and emotion on it.

In my experience, I JUST watched you call somebody an incel because they said not all lonely men are incels. 🤷

Where did I call anyone an incel?
