Ok so storytime: Near the end of high school, I was trying really hard to improve upon myself. Hygiene, skincare, fitness and (an attempt at) improving personality. I couldn’t land a date and was rejected by 5 different girls I started talking to on dating apps. This alone was not something that pushed me into the direction of an incel ofc.

Lets introduce my friend R. R was….. not sugercoating it: a very very successful womanizer (if you could even call that success). He sweet talked them, had a lot of charisma, had a lotta things interesting about him.

But he was a raging misogynist and conservative BTS. Only looked at girls superficially. Ghosted a lot of girls.

This was what made me go down a spiral. If terrible TERRIBLE people could score like this, maybe incels were right? I almost became like that, passionless about life. But before it was too late I had a talk with my sister about this. 7 years older than me, bless her heart she saved my life that day.

The simple fact she said was that terrible men will always exist, terrible woman will also always exist. Just because I saw one example of a terrible person being successful doesnt mean that you NEED to be awful. I also recognised that disliking people who are awful regardless of their gender is fine and warranted. But inceldom meant hating an entire gender in full.

That was a boost in motivation and I kept inproving myself. Still to this day I am.

If you are an incel reading this, please understand that girls who willingly get with awful people are probably also not the best people around. Improve yourself, keep your head up high and for gods sake stop calling people foids😭

One bit of advice for other young guys in their late teens/early 20s is that you'll do way, way better in the dating world once you're established and know who you are. Someone with their own job, hobbies, and goals is going to be a lot more attractive. I noticed that I turned a huge corner once I was in my late 20s/early 30s - I think it was equal parts growing and maturing as a person and becoming more established in my career, goals, and lifestyle.
