If you don’t want to be called an incel, don’t blame your loneliness and lack of sex on anyone else. Everyone is lonely, it’s nobody’s fault unless you want to blame society as a whole which will get you nowhere. Continue to grow as a human and don’t stop trying to find new avenues of reaching out to others.

And most importantly, never expect someone to like you in any way, no one is obligated to you.

You guys are missing my point. Im not talking about incels, I’m talking about people who just call all lonely guys incels. The way everyone is happily downvoting me when I say this are proving me right.

Sorry, I did miss the point. I’ve literally never seen it happen the way you describe it.

I have and experienced it (EDIT: on my own skin). Though admittedly any traumatic experience often makes you see things which aren’t there.

We are all talking about incels. Nobody here has a problem with lonely guys. I think you’re missing everyone else’s point.

Incels are called incels. Lonely guys are lonely guys. If you’re being called an incel, there’s a reason.

I can literally call you anything right now in this comment, and there’d be a reason.

That “no smoke without fire” thing is disgusting.

I don’t see anything wrong with blaming society as a whole. There are definitely general problems with it at all times. Like in Nazi Germany or, say, Victorian England and any other time and place, each in its own way.

This phrase feels as if you are putting yourself on the place of “society” to feel strong and the person you are addressing on the place of somebody opposing it.

If they feel that too, then sure as hell they won’t listen to you if they have dignity.

And most importantly, never expect someone to like you in any way, no one is obligated to you.

This works both ways.

I don’t mean to put myself in the place of anything - I just meant that the better course of action is to find improvement rather than fault. It’s a situation where being able to put the blame on something does nothing to improve the situation. We’re lonely because there are too many people is all.

There’s a lot of people at fault for things in my life and if I worried about blaming them, I wouldn’t have had the time to get educated and grow as a human so that I could move past the things they are at fault, I was just trying to broaden that idea into something more general.

Ah. Then I’d say that dealing in blame is emotionally the wrong thing to do for long in any direction. Only dealing in duty and correctness is worse. Dealing in wishes and dreams is what helps me when I remember about attitude.

You really swung for the fences over somebody saying “calling all lonely men incels are bad.”

You ABSOLUTELY proved his point, this comment was so damn extra in relation to o what you replied to.

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.

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