Involuntary celibates (incels) claim most men are incel based on Tinder data

Based on the analysis of Tinder data, individuals identifying as incels assert that a significant majority of males are experiencing involuntary celibacy. Based on the available data from Tinder, it has been observed that young girls tend to provide below-average ratings to a significant majority of young men in terms of physical attractiveness. Therefore, a significant proportion of guys experience involuntary celibacy. The current situation can be characterized as highly irrational. The research indicates that a majority of individuals in the United States engage in or have engaged in sexual activity. On popular online dating platforms such as Tinder, there is a significant gender imbalance, with a surplus of male users compared to their female counterparts. This disparity is substantial enough to result in a downward shift in the overall attractiveness perception of men, placing a considerable percentage of them below the average attractiveness level.

According to available data from 2018, the United States was home to an estimated 61.24 million married couples. In 2017, around 50% of individuals aged 18 and over in the United States were married. This proportion has exhibited a rather consistent pattern in recent times, but it has experienced a decline of 8 percentage points since 1990. One contributing reason to this transformation is the increasing trend of delayed marriage among Americans.

There has been an increase in the prevalence of cohabitation among adults in the United States. In 2016, it was observed that 7% of U.S. adults were engaged in cohabitation, alongside the existing proportion of married individuals. In 2016, the population of individuals in the United States cohabitating with a partner without being legally married was estimated to be over 18 million, reflecting a notable increase of 29% compared to the figures recorded in 2007. Approximately 50% of individuals who cohabit are below the age of 35. However, the prevalence of cohabitation is increasing at a faster rate among Americans who are 50 years old and above.

In addition, it is important to note that female attraction encompasses factors beyond mere physical appearance. He who controls the attention is high status and sexually attractive. That’s why rap stars get more ass than CEOs and why haters appear when someone is getting a lot of attention/attraction. The real Pleistocene currency by which a male was ranked was not cash but attention. If you were a hominid male, and people paid attention to you, carved your approval, shut up and listened when you spoke, that meant you were a leader. Men who commanded attention commanded access to community support. That meant a good nest-maker. Humans compete less for territory than for rank/attraction. Territory and possessions are only symbols of rank.

Humans have evolved from a social hierarchy based on threat into a social hierarchy based on attention/attraction. In our contests of beauty, in our examination rooms and in sports, in our art and literature, and in our race to win Nobel Prizes, to be recognized and valued by others, what is being competed for here is positive attention, admiration, and prestige. That is, there is a desire to express ourselves with the aim of gaining recognition of having made a positive contribution and/or of having talents/attributes; that is, we are valued. We have institutionalized this by setting up various arenas that allow people to show us what they can do.

In other words, human beings are ranked primarily for their ability to contribute to society. This means that the true alphas in our society are Professional Athletes, Youtube/Instagram Stars, Nobel Prize winners, successful entertainers and artists, wealthy businessmen, and politicians whom we elect based on their ability to contribute meaningfully and lead others
