- This video answers the question: What is an Incel? Incel stands for involuntarily celibate or involuntary celibate. It refers to an ideology and an online community. The involuntarily celibate tend to believe that only attractive men are able to have sex with attractive women, which leaves the involuntarily celibate unable to develop sexual relationships with women. Although most people who identify as Incels are not dangerous, there have been a few violent incidents involving people in this community:
- May 23, 2014: Isla vista California, a man named Elliott Roger killed six people and injured 14 others before killing himself
- October 1, 2015: Roseburg, Oregon, a man named Chris Harper-Mercer kills nine people and injures eight others before killing himself
- December 7, 2017: in Aztec, New Mexico, William Atchinson kills two people before killing himself
- February 14, 2018: Parkland, Florida, Nicholas Cruz kill 17 people and injured 17 others
-April 23, 2018: Toronto, Ontario, Alek Minassian drives the van through the North York City Center business district killing 10 and injuring 16
- November 2, 2018: Tallahassee, Florida, Scott Beierle killed two women before killing himself

There are lots of us on the autism spectrum who aren't very successful with finding partners, but most of us don't call ourselves "incels", don't believe that others are responsible, don't blame women or attack women, don't feel superior to women (in fact, autistic women often have the. same difficulties). Though I would say, some of us, trusting a bit too easily could get caught up with such a group online. But there's a huge difference falling into a hate group, and being a person who has had struggles connecting with others.
@ Jay Y Very well said!! Most humans struggle with acceptance issues. Self acceptance formost. Many other categories in our culture have problems finding relationships. Eg,, not easy a woman in middle-age. In the final analysis better to learn about self caring and gratitude and not blame our culture or other people. Now THAT is attractive and helpful daily.
@@wendyfaith1048 the whole thing is too self indulgent
This new incel trend, in my opinion, seems to be about entitlement. These people are upset because they aren't getting what they expected, so they do these crimes, shootings, etc. They feel rage because they feel entitled to women for nothing, as though women have no minds of their own, apparently.
I am autistic. Transfemme. Before I came to terms with my gender and sexuality, I probably could’ve become an incel. I’m thankful to hav3 the support system I do..
@@SirenaSpades most incels aren’t violent and entitled but the ones that are violent definitely are entitled in the sense that they are mad that they cannot get their looksmatch. I blame porn for all of these problems imo because it just shows tons of beautiful attractive women from a young age to young men online and then they grow up feeling that these women are normal when they aren’t and they are few and far between. They then get mad at this when they see their competitively attractive female partner and can’t stand the idea that they can’t have that
I always find it remarkable how many people say indignantly, "looks aren't everything, what about personality?" People are so unsparing of their own physical appearances, but give themselves so much credit when it comes to their own personalities.
Yeah, because people think their personality were something more within their control. I think we've all heard Dr. Grande talk enough about the Big Five personality traits though to know how stable those traits are across the lifetime, and that they're also partly heritable, just like intelligence. If I can't blame someone for their intelligence, how can I blame them for being e.g. a narcissist? 🤔
True. Personality is harder to achieve than attractiveness. Way way harder
Ps: there are a lot. Overcome shadow, insecurities, being a better self, be conscious, etc
It all comes down to putting in the work imo. Yes, one could be blessed with good genetics and a stable, loving upbringing, even from a high socio economical class. Still, everyone has flaws. If you want to wear/ have nice things you have to get money (aka a job). To keep your job you must consistently show passion, comradely, getting there on time and making dead lines.
Same goes for a good personality, that requires one to think critically about their own actions, words and thoughts.
And yes, sometimes one person needs to put in more effort than his/ her neighbors.
I’ve been dealt bad cards when it comes to personality. With a sadistic narc for a mother and a criminal psychopath for a father I didn’t have a good example. As a child, there’s not much to do because a child mostly copies what he/ she sees. But as an adult it’s a completely different story. I have BPD, depression, anxiety, a panic disorder and a tendency towards addiction and EDs. I could tell people “yeah, i know i hurt you but that’s just my personality”. No, it doesn’t work like that. I have to follow treatment, visit my psychologists and psychiatrist and take my meds. If I don’t, I won’t be pleasant to be around thus i have to put in the effort and do the work.
My point is that it seems like incels expect the world to revolve around them, that they’re ’entitled’ to sex and attention. It just doesn’t work like that i know it sucks but that’s life 🤷🏻♀️
Alice Becker The problem is that unwillingness to put in the effort is indeed also part of personality - that's the Big Five trait known as conscientiousness. While we know people's personality can *be* changed across the lifespan, I wouldn't say anyone can change their *own* personality. It's more about "exposing oneself" (rather: being exposed to) the right kind of environment. In case of Phineas Gage, for example, the "environmental factor" that massively changed his personality and made him more impulsive and less reliable was a metal rod through his frontal brain areas. 😂 Behavioural therapy of course also leads to biological adaptations at brain level, too, eventually - but on a much more subtle level than neurosurgery, of course.
The brain loves itself ;)
What do you call an incel who has committed a violent crime?
In cell.
Haha!!

I don't know how I've missed this one for three years, but Doc, you never disappoint ❤
I think incels can get girls if they start taking care of themselves and make some female friends(no expectation) . They should keep their expectation low and date whoever showing interest in them.
@@debanikgoswami4834 >dating whoever showing interest in them
aka nobody and wake up that their graduation is coming and alone in prom lol.
I found this very informative. I’ve noticed that many of the mass shooters have been rejected by girlfriend. I wonder if it would be helpful to teach young kids, male and female, how to handle rejection. It’s not the end of the world. Of course this would take parents who could identify the response to rejection in their children.
I got an even better one. Teach them how to communicate with each other again that way they can learn to handle it on their own, teach them to care about values and morals again. There is something really wrong, when isolating others in the name of tolerance is called empowerment. When mass shooters are worshipped all over the internet. Our kids grow up with no moral compass, being told they are the most special...who would not get narcissistic growing up in such an environment?
My father used to say "1 lost, 100 to be found" or something along those lines it's a translation my father didn't speak english. What he meant by this is that rejection wasn't the end of the world. And he was right. One can't center his life around being in a relationship or not or have sex or not. Also many of theses guys refuse to take of themselves and be the best version of themselves and to do the work towards that goal. It's easier to shift the blame on others.
@@geilertobi231 I perfectly agree with that.
One sentence would save all this ruckus, not everyone gets to have a relationship or have someone to love them, people feed incels lies these lies are being converted to expectations it's time for the world to make new laws on dating some people get love some people don't and it is what it is.
Absolutely, many people don't know how to manage their anger. Also, kids need to be taught how to simply be kind. All of these stories seem to begin with childhood bullying. I have read about many instances in which even teachers join in on the bullying, which is sad & disgusting. It's ALL very sad.
Serious topic but my goodness, he was so deadpan when talking about Chads and Stacys. Which made that part extremely funny😂😂😂
It’s a serious and real thing to people who consider themselves incels. They certainly don’t say these terms with humor, they use them with vitriol and contempt. I always appreciate the earnest way in which Dr Grande approaches these topics (even if some terms came from memes haha)!
@@ericasmith2630 Yes he is earnest. And measured. And objective. That group is not. Because of the difference, it really struck my funny bone!
So are the things women call men whom they do not fancy.
@@ericasmith2630 It's just "cope" for them. They don't always take it that seriously as it is just something to laugh at and have fun with. I've never felt hated by incels but maybe felt a quiet resentment. I believe them to a certain extent - at least the content that some have made for youtube. Many incels are really quite funny or intelligent and I wish they had a better lot in life. I wish more academic resources were spent to at least legitimize them as a group. Currently society seems to focus on the extreme behavior of a few and uses this to justify shitting on them
@RØNIN I think you have no idea to whom or what you are talking to.
Forget about Stacy, it's her mom that's got it going on!

@@chrisgould101 oh damn
Female incels (sometimes called "femcels") do exist, but they are far rarer, because - to put it bluntly - men tend to have far lower standards when it comes to selecting purely sexual partners.
11:47 “Physical attractiveness is an important predictor for successfully forming romantic relationships” finally some practical advice.
My experience is that women love a man with good looks, but they use the man's looks for temporary self-validation: she was able to 'bag a hot guy'. Once she's achieved this, he can be discarded.
An equal alternative is women believe a man they find physically attractive is 'successful'--crazy as it seems, they seem to reason (somehow) that he makes 'good' choices that will benefit her ... because he chose to be physically attractive.
It’s the most important
Ugly truth
Physical attraction is important, but physical attraction is not synonym to hottest person, it just has to be present, much like how important food is to stay alive, that's not synonym with 5 star meals are important to stay alive.

@Epica Yemontada I know this is an old comment but please don't use gay as a slur
I often wondered about these guys... I did meet one such an older man when my own life was really bad. I felt sorry for him because he looked so incredibly sad so I said Hello, just to be a civil new neighbour, no female amorous or sexual intentions and he immediately informed me he was not interested in "women" so I just apologises for interacting with him at all and just left him alone. This went on a few months but I noticed he was very ritualistic. Every morning, same time, same drab but spotlessly clean clothes on, he would take his fishing lines and go out fishing. Then one day he knocked on my door and said "Here's food for you". It was a fish he'd caught. I politely thanked him, took the fish and said no more. Eventually he began to occasionally talk, only a few brief words. I didn't say much to him. It felt too uncomfortable and I did not know him but eventually he opened up and said he had sworn off "women" forever now. I ventured to ask why and he told me about all the times he tried and how it went bad each time and after three bad marriages that took him to the cleaners and landed him in the same situation as me, it was time to call it quits as far as women are concerned. I explained how I'd had a similar bad experience, but only one marriage and he then became a very good platonic friend, very kind and caring. He then met other kind poor women whom he offered his fish he caught to and who were grateful for the extra bit of free good food he provided and I and other women cooked him meals, fixed his old clothes up for him, sewing on missing buttons etc. One wanted him to go dancing with her but he said he couldn't dance and had sworn off "women", so she went out alone, no partner but he got concerned about her safety and told her so and warned the rest of us about engaging in risky female behaviour etc etc. Some looked at him with suspicion, fearing he might be dangerous. But one no one said"If we have no man to dance with what are we supposed to do? We have to go it alone and hope we don't get preyed in..." Shortly after that, he asked if I would lend him my dance class DVD. I simply gave it to him as I was never going to be a ballroom dancer but he practised daily, alone, in front of his TV to learn how and got very good at it and then asked the women if they wanted to go dancing with him as a group and they all wanted to, but they knew he was so good at it now that they would look clumsy dancing with him, so they all politely declined and he went alone. There he met another female, also very lonely and a good dancer, who had "sworn off men forever", after a couple of failed marriages. Last time I saw him, he and her were an item. I felt so happy he had found someone to restore his faith in womankind (and for her, too, though I could see why her husband's would have left such a demanding female personality as her.... Sadly, just as this romance was starting up, she suddenly died, of natural causes. But the rumours circulated around female circles that he had killed her. I knew what sort of kind man he was who would never harm a woman and it made me so angry to hear such malicious female rumours being circulated about him, though I had no romantic interests in him, more like a brother or friend....
He was married 3 times so hes quite different from incels. Not all dudes who have a bad hand in the dating game are whst you call incels. Incels are a different breed. That guy you knew os more akin to MGTOW. they are not incels and have been through the ringer of dating many times.
It's good of you that you helped people in dark places
Very interesting story. Thank you. 🙏🏻
That is very sad but I think he's MGTOW, Incrls don't even gets shot, usually due to disability or just being so ugly or short, which is so sad because you can't change that.
Poor guy, I'm glad he did find someone at the end though, many people do go thru these struggles but don't have hatred within them like many incels do, doesn't sound like he was an incel to me but he may had some hard things in his life that made him not date anyone else and I'm glad there's nice people like you that help others with those problems
Hold on, so there are dudes that are mad that they can't "have" the attractive females because those females are overly concerned with attractiveness?🤣
Even worse, the "Staceys" may not even be with "Chad" because of his appearance. It's quite clear the incel is simply projecting.
@@Trashalchemy Oh sure, not everyone is motivated mainly by appearance. Especially as we mature. I would say females, if either are, would be less likely to care about appearance. The whole thing is just immature and silly.
@@CynHicks It's true that not everyone is motivated primarily by attractiveness. However, generally speaking, they are. And that includes women. I would go as far to say that women care more about attractiveness than men. Think about it, women will shun a guy if they don't like their height, probably one of the most useless traits to be concerned about in a modern society
@@vinsanity982 Really? You honestly think that women are more concerned with physical attractivness than men?
@@CynHicks you're completely clueless if you honestly believe women don't care about looks
I would like to put in my 2 cents as professionally as I can. I use to be an incel, an extreme incel unfortunately. I can give yall feedback on what's going on in the "incel" mind and group in general, though I haven't been on the incel forums in a while so im sorry. This may be a bit long, my apologies.
"Incels" have their own different reasons and motives for being in this mindset but I think it mostly boils down to social rejection, possible trauma, mental illness*, lacking social skills, being unattractive, horrible attitudes and character, etc...
There's things that the incel community has right and also wrong(obviously). I empathize with incels because I know what lead them there but I wanna talk about the extremists like I was. Mental illness plays a role in (these certain individuals) not everyone who has these disorders. Depression, personality disorders*, autism, social phobia/paranoia, maybe schizophrenia Im not a doc lol. I was diagnosed with borderline personality with antisocial traits and severe social anxiety and add. Certain individuals take rejection differently and the illness and delusions spiral down deeper and deeper. It's a self fulfilling prophecy.
When you have mental illness*, bad family, social rejection, unattractive to everybody( physical looks). You start hating yourself because you just wanna be accepted by people, its easy to spiral down so far that you will join a cult just to fit in somewhere.
(BUT). "Incels" need to know that while highschool is superficial and people will judge you no matter who you are; your character, respect, and personality matter more than anything in this life. To any incel reading this, even though the pain of rejection was horrible, really look deep in and accept that it was yours and MY attitude that kept us alone. Follow women pages, look up inspiration women videos! You're Self loathing and woman demonizing attitude is what is turning them and people in general off.
Women aren't obligated to be with you and they are not just things for sex. They are people and just wanna feel safe and enjoy positivity. It took severe self awareness and insight but trying to be a good guy well help you out in your life. I'm talking to a few girls right now. because I enjoy just connecting with people. Even as friends its fine. If you try to be an actual good person than things will fall into place for you.
I use to have violent thoughts everytime I went out and was scoldy if thats a word, at every couple I saw. Now I'm happier with female and male friends and life is better. (Take care of ur mental illness too) those two will lead "inceled" individuals to becoming a functioning part of society
Edit: if u have sociopathic tendencies with neurotisism then get help or you'll end up hurting yourself and others.
Last edit: Don't ever make of people or mock them because they are virgins or can't get girlfriends or friends in general. Just like you wouldnt laugh at a blind person or someone with cancer, don't look down on people with something they have no control over. Not everyone's popular or attractive, be mature enough to find the beauty in everybody.
Tjthe1st Simmons thank you for sharing this. Glad you’re taking care of yourself and life is going better.
Thanks for sharing! I’m happy you’re happy!
I hope you now realize that everyone is involuntarily celibate at some time in their lives, and women also struggle with social awkwardness, mental illness, and the inability to connect with others and also feel unattractive or underappreciated by men- LGBT and non-binary people as well. That pain is not unique to straight boys and men.
Wow yo thanks for writing this. I never understood the whole incel thing. I suffer from ptsd & depression & it has affected my dating life horribly. There was a time id jokingly say I was Asexual(mental health meds will do that to ya) but I never identified as an incel. I'm the kind of guy who would just go to a strip club or call a escort. I now see a lot if not all incels have a warped view of women ontop of the mental health conditions they suffer from. I blame that on society because most of the views inceld hold on woman are held by many hetero males ("grab em by the pussy bra"
I now have a different & far less harsh view of the incel community
Rationalisation means giving socially acceptable reasons for socially unacceptable behaviour, which is what you're doing when you say these guys are not in control of what they do. They seem to be very good at controlling their behaviour and when and where to manifest it switching it on and off at will. If someone holds a gun to a blind person's head and tells them to stop being blind they can't. Are you seriously telling me that if I hold a gun to an incel's head and tell him to apologise he's going to refuse? They decide where to be hateful depending on the risk to themselves., unlike the disabled, who never have that choice. I'm sick to the back teeth of all the excuses I've heard over the years for abusive behaviour for people who supposedly can't help it.
Who picked Chad and Stacey? I would’ve gone with Brad and Brittany.

The funny thing is Dr. Grande looks like a typical incel himself lol
If you start off unattractive, and/or not being raised in a healthy environment, then it seems like maybe being rejected because of the superficial ways we judge each other (especially in school), and the way we create in groups, can create the personality traits and mental health issues that make it more difficult to be confident, or funny, or create the skills to overcome the genetic disadvantages of being an unattractive person in this day and age where beauty is pretty important, and pretty people get treated much differently.
Does the way we treat unattractive, or socially awkward people play such a small role?
I think if you want to make someone crazy or dysfunctional, all you really have to do is treat them like they already are.
That last part hit my feels. Sometimes I get treated as if I committed some heinous crime, without being told that I did that. I've seen people directly compare incels to convicted rapists before so many times.
Why does everyone think unnatractiveness means bad genetics? Many attractive people have terrible genes, cannot reproduce, cannot live without modern medicine etc. Just because someone is bald, short, obese, or has a bit of acne, or bad sense of fashion, or third degree burns on his face doesnt automaticly mean u have bad genes (although sometimes those traits are caused by bad genes).
@John & Jane Smith Lmaooo imagine believing this bullshit. I've seen enough social tests where some good looking guy acts like a complete cringe asshole and completely gets away with it just because he looks like a model, so yeah I'm calling BS.
Lmao let me just say this, being "attractive" or looking good don't mean shit! I'm living proof of it. I've been told all my life i was handsome attractive, good looking or whatever. Not saying i'm brad pit, or i'm full of myself, i'm just blunt and straight to the point on things, but i am considered well above average in looks. I'm about 6 foot 4 tall, blue eyes, lean muscular broad shoulders, abs defined sharp jawline and strong cheekbone structure and i've been rejected i can't even count how many times. The women rejecting even call me handsome and good looking, my problem is i look like a jerk and throw off bad vibes! They tell me that! It's fucking unbelievable! Looking good has actually been a disadvantage for me! looks don't mean shit! If not, makes things worst, at least in my case! I have all in one of what a "chad" is described like. Women are just fucked up in the head now days in this new generation! and that's all there is to it! insecure and stupid! I've noticed they rather be with a normal guy with a pedo stash and looking like a hot dog, rather than an ugly or high attractive male. Good balance of looks is the key to getting girls from what i see! Women don't want someone below or better looking than themselves!

The term is “schizotypal”. Here’s a wiki link if you’re interested in more info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizotypal_personality_disorder
@Lon Spector That is a sad comment, Lon. I wish it were not true for you if that is so.
I agree, entitlement is an ugly and arrogant trait. If one is fortunate, humility and generosity should rule the day.
As someone who was sad enough to have incel tendencies years ago, I can attest that it's all just resentment and jealousy. Instead of trying to improve themselves to become more attractive, they blame others and make excuses for their failures. It's a pathetic way to live.
I agree I also had tendencies like that myself and yea it's just resentment and jealousy pretty childish in my opinion. I think alot of them will outgrow that ideology eventually I hope they do.
@@kylemorice4870 Glad you understand, brother. For all the incels who complain they never get attention from girls, how many of them actually make an effort and TALK to them? Hardly any!

I love how incel terminology and memes have been co-opted and sort of reclaimed by pop culture as a whole. instead of shutting down and "canceling" the incel ideology, we acknowledged its existence and exchanged dialogues about it, transforming its social significance to a series of memes and phrases that barely reflect the original intentions. for example, art depicting the "virgin" and "Chad" figures as romantic couples, or the evolution of Chad as a disdainful term into a title implying admiration or respect.
Such co-opting is pretty beneficial to the incel ideology, more and more people will now get exposed to the ideology once they become curious about the origins of these memes and terminologies, not to mention incels can now easily pass around their ideas to the non-initiated without worrying about them not understanding the lingo.
@@emperortgp2424 ah, i can see that. i just imagine them being upset about the "normies" using their meme formats wrong 😂
@@emperortgp2424 Incels will be the majority sooner than later. That's when things get fun....if you know what I mean 😉
"art depicting the "virgin" and "Chad" figures as romantic couples"
That's only one variant. I highly doubt that will have an impact, since if you take it any further than that the meme loses all meaning and just stops being funny. It also is based on the assumption that Chad v Virgin memes weren't purposely made to be silly in the first place.
"or the evolution of Chad as a disdainful term into a title implying admiration or respect."
That doesn't even make sense. The original meaning of Chad means that Chad is more confident, attractive, stronger, wealthier, than the INCEL calling someone Chad. It's like going "ahaha look how attractive that guy who you already say is more attractive than you is." Just reinforcement of what made them mad in the first place.
the memes and everything are wrong in general, incel was created by a woman in 1992 its legit
I’m a psychology student and I just love your matter of fact, no nonsense content Dr Grande. :-)
The whole world ,but above all North America is full of wrathful lonely men ,who cannot find whatever woman (even unsightly one ), but notwithstanding this, they always strive to make fleshly love with pretty woman, although it is thoroughly unlikely to ever happen in their life.These highly unlikely to ever make true love with lustfully pretty woman of their dreams lonely men , filled with unspeakably strong wrath, as we can witness are not seldom in the mood to go and murder the first met women and men walking down the same street , although they are not at all guilty for the Incel's love-shortfall . The Incels yearn after only one thing,namely to make fleshly love with pretty ,womanly woman and when they at a given time become fully aware that this is wholly unlikely to happen many of them make the choice to harm or murder other human beings who have the sheer unluckiness to find themselves on the same street or in the shoping mall as the Incels. So ,although the Psychologists can do indeed great things to help the human minds in need ,in this case with the Incels ,sadly ,they are not of great help, because of the intrinsically impossible nature of the Incel's situation.

Here in the UK we just had our first mass shooting in 11 years. The killer was apparently part of, or interested in, incel culture in some way. He killed his own mother and four neighbours including a three-year-old girl. So heartbreaking.

That’s why there needs to be help for incels not people making fun or shaming them.

Reading through all these comments it truly brakes my heart. I feel so sad that there are people feeling so alone, and frustrated and dismissed...all while being tormented via hormonal and physical ‘natural’ occurrences. Not to mention a lot of the societal triggers and stressors as well.
I don’t want anyone to feel unwanted or ugly...I also don’t want any one forced or made to do anything intimate with another person.
Pain and suffering is unfortunately apart of life. Men suffer not because they are weak- many Men suffer because in fact they are strong.
The incels should try going for stacy’s mom. I hear she’s got it going on
Calla Pratt --- That is an idea, but, if an incel cannot communicate and connect with a woman of his age, it is unlikely he has the substance (personality, intellect, and charm) to connect with Stacey's mother, who is more discriminating, y'know, a man who can light her cigarette, pour the wine, and converse about things other than himself.
This is gold LOLL
Thats from the Chad advanced techniques manual .
Outstanding move
well unfortunately given that incels are very misogynistic, they prob will try to create some snuff video of them beating or lay the hand on the mom, that is the sad realiity of how these people work. in reality, they won't even have the guts to try to meet the mom, to them, the mom is just another "FOID" to beat to death! hate to say it but that is the incel mentality and this is how they work! they cannot change!

The facts are we live in a very superficial society and some people just don’t live up to societies superficial standards,
“Incels” or outsiders will always exist in such a world because humans aren’t perfect but the only ones who will be happy are those who can fool the people around them into thinking they are perfect.
The human experience is all about fooling yourself with your own illusions and finding people who go along with it.

@@scrateshooter the doctor or the commenter?
If we take Elliott Roger as typical for an incel then I think the biggest distortion in incels' thinking (by distortion I mean disconnection from what is really happening) is that their lack of success is due to their looks. In Elliot Rogers' case it was clear that women were put off by his personality, not his looks. He was actually an attractive looking guy, but on the rare occasions when he went to social events he stood in the middle of the room not smiling and staring at various women. We know from witness accounts that his behavior gave them the creeps. And we know from his manifesto that the whole time he was thinking the women were horrible because they wouldn't approach him and that he was just as good as the 'Chads' they were talking to. He seemed to miss all of the socialization about men approaching women being the standard 99% of the time. He also didn't seem to realize that standing around with a scowl made him unapproachable. But to his mind it was because he didn't meet some ideal of physical attractiveness.
The irony is that there are so many ugly, dumpy, and old men who have attracted beautiful women with any one of these things - winning and confident personality that makes women feel special, money, power, confidence, some special natural likeability. Cynics would say it's just money, but money alone won't help a man with a terrible personality.
100% hit it on the nail
No Elliot Rodger had social anxiety disorder. he mentions it in his manifesto, he was basically too shy to introduce himself to other women so he always sat back and hoped women would come to him and he grew increasingly frustrated with the idea that men had to come to women while women didn't have to do the same thing.
It's interesting that incels are not able to get relationships from looks or personality or whatever, but all they talk about are beautiful women (at the same time judging or hating them). It really is entitlement. The notion that they 'deserve' a woman who may be above their pay grade.
Men who are confident, respectful and take care of themselves are attractive. So there could be a laziness issue which is again rooted in entitlement.
Clemdane Yes I thought Elliot Roger was quite attractive. And there are plenty of ugly men that get good looking women. So I think you are right that it was more about his personality. I think he bigged himself up while really inside he had a crippled lack of self esteem. Otherwise he would have been able to confidently approach women and have successful relationships
He was attractive and also wealthy and had film industry connections. For most guys that would guarantee at least a modicum of sexual success even if they're huge jerks. It appears Rodger was both socially stunted and also had extremely high standards for what sort of woman he thought he deserved. If nothing less than a model will do for you, you've already eliminated 99% of potential mates. The things incels seem to want are almost impossible even for a socially adept person.
Men do not determine who is an INCEL, women determine this.
No, incels do.

@@Craig-gq4gb facts
@@Craig-gq4gb it's not always too late to change.
It's nature. Women are attracted to athletes and good looking men. Men are attracted to average to above average looking women. A man being born a dweeb is fucked and that's all there is to it. They should join Islam instead of being depressed. 70 virgins.
@@Craig-gq4gb nah, it's the fact that these men are unwilling to admit they aren't as great as they think they are. The best thing to do is to tell them the truth, that they aren't in relationships because they don't want to improve themselves. If they spent the time they do online bitching and moaning about how nobody wants them actually making something important of themselves--you know, getting a good education, starting a business, serving their communities--they'd have better lives and a better outlook overall. People like them-and like you-are just not willing to put in the effort and are lazy. People pick up on your laziness and childlike behaviour, and are turned off.
As an autistic I feel I can understand some of these traits of a "typical"incel individual, but personally their logic doesn't seem logical at all, such as: if an incel is interested in a "Stacy"who is attractive to the incel, then Stacy is obligated to have sex with him? Yet if a woman who isn't attractive to the incel would be interested in the incel then he isn't obligated to have sex with this "unattractive woman"?
The catch of incel ideology is really that they believe no woman regardless of whether she is conventionally attractive or not wants to enter a relationship with them.
That’s why you see so many members of the group fantasizing about lashing out against society, because they believe they are doomed to be forever social outcast with no one to connect to.
That's absolutely true. Plus incels should be fully monitored at all times cuz they if no woman is picking them for sex, these guys could become pedophiles. So watch out in case you need to guard your little daughter.
It's not actually about looks with these guys. They're narcs and don't hide their cray well enough to appear normal and put out a 'childish' vibe. The immature sense of entitlement is pervasive through out their behavior.
Elliot Rogers was the type of guy that women would think was cute, until he starts to talk.
@@RunninQHsRockif a woman that thought he was cute would logically smile with him. I think he was educated enough to be interesting. Maybe a bit nervous 🫦.....
Incels really do focus too much on physical looks. Elliot Roger was in many respects a very attractive young man. Unfortunately he was not given the amount of attention he felt he was entitled to from the women he felt he deserved. More than likely there was some aspect of his personality that perspective partners found off-putting. External societal factors weren’t preventing him from forming relationships; all the obstacles he encountered were internal in that society and women in particular weren’t conforming to his own ideas of how he should be treated.
I want to feel empathy for Incels. And in some ways I do. Dating and relationships are hard, and yes, physical attraction does play a major role, but at the same time it’s hard to feel empathy for a group that is so demonstrably misogynistic. Incels treat women like nothing more than sex vending machines: if you put in enough “nice guy” and flattery coins you deserve a sexy prize. When women inevitably don’t live up to that standard they are reviled. There’s a weird cognitive dissonance going on where they demand to have their emotional needs met while at the same time being unable or unwilling to see how their mindset and actions ignore the emotional needs of others.
100% agree. I also feel bad for delusional people - no one consciously wants to be delusional. They're suffering and need help.
I would recommend two channels from the incel community. Incel TV and FaceLMS. These two combine all the data that proves you wrong in this case. Looks are absolutely the most important thing in dating and there is empirical data for it.

NPR podcast had a story about a researcher who spent two years studying college sexuality. It is hook up culture that lowers both mens'and womens' social status as soon as they have sex. Both groups ignore and ridicule the conquests, dehumanizing them. They may not be friends or even even friendly. Often their friends pick each others conquests. I don't believe I have ever heard a journalist guest and host so quietly saddened. Basically one third of men and women college students opt out of sex, because the culture is so barren. Ten to twenty percent think it is a free for all and are all good with it. The remainder participate due to the social pressure but admit they don't like it. The young men in the interviews seem bewildered and confused. The young women expressed the sentiment some attention is better than not being wanted. Failure of parenting, because whatever the prevailing culture, parents jobs are to help young people stay safe and preserve their dignity. That one third of college students are running amok in n that regard.
I hope conversations continue. We all have to be pragmatic. We women do enjoy the right manage our own destiny, but we should aknowledge gender differences when it comes to sexual activity.
I am all for women expressing their sexual persona. If that means multiple partners, so be it. Casual sex is not for everyone, even men. Equal rights does not mean we are the same and if I had daughters, I would encourage them to make discriminating and thoughtful choices. I would also encourage them to stay true to their individual nature and temperment, whatever that may be. Coercion by culture is destructive to both sexes.
As an incel allot of the comments aren’t talking about the right things, me and allot of incels don’t think women own us sex, it’s more of a venting space.

And putting on some sort of nice guy persona as a sexual, transactional sort of strategy is incredibly off-putting. Would love to see you keep talking about this.

That's not to say I don't think we shouldnt try and understanding incels situation and help them to not suffer so much any more... but there's a difference between understanding and excusing.
A lot of what it written within incel communties is just horrible and hate filled towards women. That behaviour shouldn't be just excused, they're responsible for that no matter how much they've been marginalised. And even if most incels would never deream of acting out in evil ways themselves, thoughts and ideas are powerful, they have consequences. They're propogating an rigid ideology that soon or later will find someone who will be inspired to violence by it.
“they believe they deserve sex and women not attracted to them violating their rights” yeah thats not correct and ive never once read or heard that from anyone that considers themselves involuntarily celibate
At this point, Dr. Grande should close his videos with, “Now, I know that whenever I make a video on absolutely any topic at all, it will generate a lot of opinions because I make really excellent videos. Please comment on my great videos down below. “ 😅

Good analysis Doc, but from someone who definitely qualifies as the traditional definition of "Involuntarily Celibate" as opposed to the extremists, I do think it's important not to strictly focus on the most extreme among us. "Us" being, guys who have certain negative views of the modern dating scene but have no desire to hurt anyone or anything of that nature. You did bring some nuance though, and I really appreciate that.
Honestly? Most of the guys (and yes, some girls) I've talked to are actually really decent people and are just hurting because they've found it impossible to find someone. Sometimes because they've lost the genetic lottery, or because of anxiety issues or depression and so on. I think both apply to me, but more so the latter. At the end of the day, I think it's like this: The feeling of being wanted by someone, is so important. I believe others' treatment and view towards us is what gives us the majority of our confidence, rather than coming from the inside. And so when you feel so unwanted (as a friend, as a romantic partner, the list goes on), it's going to take a toll without a doubt. And that's definitely been true for me.
At this point, I'm almost expecting to be alone forever, and it sucks. I don't want that for myself, but every day that I leave my house, I come back home hating myself. Focusing on negatives rather than positives of my day. I think more than anything, I'd like to just feel normal for a day, you know? Like I'm a person. I know that's the spiraling negativity talking, but it sure feels real.
Thank you for sharing; don't hate yourself, though. It is very hard these days to meet good people, hell any people.
Wow well said. Thanks for sharing and explaining. I wish you didn't hate yourself. You're obviously very intelligent.
It's their loss not seeing you for who you are. Hope you find the person of your dreams.
I may not be the best at talking with women but I refuse to ever become an "incel".
If you really struggle with women then you are an incel in the true definition

I’ve long since wanted to see this topic presented in a researched way. Don’t get me wrong. The shock value encounter stories and screen shots are entertaining but it’s such an odd phenomenon that it should be studied in a serious manor. They range from hateful trolls who don’t really leave the house enough to pose a real threat (at the time) to mass murderers. That’s a lot of variance so it’s important to know the common threads between these extremes.
I love Dr. Grande... He makes the world a little bit better with his insight
This seems a perception of involuntariness. Members seem to blame rather than take responsibility for insecure feelings...not necessarily realities. Lots of blurs between self and others...thanks...troubling...
There is also the can do aspect!... Can you reach the olimpic 100m finals should you be required (for people sex is a requirement to some significant degree)? Same problem. At the end, in regard to feelings it is, at the end of the day about math. They just always get bad tetris pieces as far as they can be concerned at least at the time. It is important and highly difficult to make them feel and understand that they are not alone!... Do you see my point dear miss?
Why should an incel feel responsible for his genetics that he was born with that made him not handsome/tall enough for women to find attractive? Blaming incels only further fuels their anger.
@Uneuphemistic, platonic superfruitMaybe to some degree all of them, and I'm quite sure to some degree all of us. I'm confident in saying every adult has felt helpless at one point or another in this life. Most more times. And you are correct that some have a less performant apparatus in dealing with such things. And some are quite petty megalomaniacs. But in all cases brushing it aside as "their problems" does not really help the good ones among or either wake up the more ambitious ones about the wrongs of their position.
@SUCKRPUNCHED unless they're dirt poor, you're wrong. They could just pay for an escort. They can choose to have sex with an escort. Only people stopping them are themselves.
your mother I think it’s more about being loved by a member of the opposite sex and have someone to share their life with. Anyone could pay for an escort. To be fair if you were born 5’3 and ugly you’re going to have an uphill battle attracting the opposite sex other then being a millionaire
Some of the reasons for incel ideology makes sense. Sex is a human need. We dont need it to survive independently, but its still a strong urge. Women obtain it easier, and for men its a struggle. No doubt men who are still virgins past their 20s are increasingly angry at their lack of success. Alternatives like masturbation dont cut it anymore. Jealousy is a common emotion, especially being surrounded by couples who separate but still find partners quickly. Other than the supremacy thing, I sympathize.
@Zuma Zuma you described sexual satisfaction, not sex itself. A regular looking Man cant post a picture , and get his dms flooded with booty calls
Yeah, even as a women I sympathize too. It all comes from hurt and suffering.
I just wish they wouldn’t blame women for this societal problem.
@Zuma Zuma having an opportunity to experience sexual pleasure, even if its 1 out of 10 experiences, is preferable then getting no chances.
@Zuma Zuma in my experience, ive went to gaming bars, been to college, and just random places. I just women out there but was always rejected. Its made me bitter. I do need the motivational speech, " just be yourself and youre still young"
@Zuma Zuma um. College is a place where you do get to know people. I didnt just walk up to women and asked them out. I tried to start things off by introducing myself and talk to them. No one gave me the time of day.
I’m single and would love to have a partner, but I don’t feel the need to join a band of incel scum to air my grievances.
I work on my self, try and be kind and accept if it happens it will.

It's interesting when people form a community around some incapacity they share; this can be a very positive association if those involved help each other to improve their adaptation to whatever it is they lack or think they lack. I've watched your video twice, and I'll be thinking about it while I take my evening Walk.
Thanks, again.
I find it so ironic that women are often judged much more harshly on their looks, and I would argue it extends much more beyond romantic relationships than for men. It is a fact, that men place a higher emphasis on looks than do women. Online dating I would argue does not necessarily change this. Perhaps, Dr. Grande, it might be interesting to hear any research on how online dating has affected preferences and priorities for psychical appearance. My point is, women generally are not focused as much on looks. It's hard-wired in us. So the fact that incels operate from the assumption that women only care about looks is not substantiated by scientific research. This is a complete fallacy and delusional. Confidence is attractive. Creepy is not. For any incels out there, I encourage you to watch Dr. Grande's video on how to appear not creepy. I believe the primary need women have in order to have sex with a man is a feeling of safety. If you make a woman uncomfortable, there's no way she's going to want to be intimate with you! I don't care how good looking you are!
Women do care about looks. It's delutional to think otherwise.
@@undertoned-418 fair enough. It's true. But if you rank them relatively, men are more concerned about physical attractiveness than women. I won't deny that appearance is important!
I love this comment. It's true women are judged much more harshly on appearance and it does indeed extend beyond just for romantic relationships. The incels argument has zero logic behind it, I see couples all the time where the man is average or below average and the woman is hot. How many times do you see that the other way round lmao. Women are willing to settle for a lot less looks wise than are men. Men have more avenues to choose from when tryung to attract a woman, whereas women just have one:their appearance. You don't hear about female incels, because nobody wants to acknowledge ugly women.
@@mstarburst Yes! Thank you for validating my comment! Men have no idea how women are so judged on external characteristics. And I'm not coming from a bitter place, because I think most people would consider me "attractive". Regardless of a woman's attractiveness, I think that 99% of women really don't want to be judged by their appearance.
@@misse7154 aw your lucky that your pretty, its great that you can acknowledge what it must be like for women who aren't though. I think alot of pretty women assume that the world is a nice accepting place and that men are nice to all women, but it's not true. I'm actually an ugly woman and while I'm not bitter or jealous towards attractive women it is frustrating when they don't seem to understand the struggles I have.
I believe it all stems from deep immaturity. "How dare you reject me?" The truth is that society and life in general can be very cruel, so you have to be stronger than that. Got rejected, at anything: jobs, relationships, any kind of relationships, family, women, friends, acquaintances, etc. etc. etc.? Just move on. Really, just move on. There are people who don't even deserve you getting angry at them; they're just a waste of energy and time. Other people don't (can't) understand you? Frankly, that's fine. I went through hurricane María, the death of my mom, and the coronavirus debacle, and I learned from all three that you cannot expect anything from other people other than what they're willing to give you straight from their hearts. That's it. Everything else becomes not important. I know I'm being much broader regarding the main subject of the video, but to me it all stems from not being able to deal with rejection. A great part of growing up to be a real man is dealing with a heck of a lot of rejection from a heck of a lot of people including those close to us. Steel has to go through a crucible and be beaten in order to become a sword, and like Claus Levin Sepstrup says: Ingenium is your true power. It's actually the title of one of his online guitar courses.
Opening a mental heath practice for people who have social anxiety is like trying to give thirsty people with severe rabies a water to drink
What
Most "incels" don't look for sex, they just want to be loved
Xydy Chc Yes but their desire to be loved by a woman is associated with a need for a least one woman to give her body sexually over to them. There’s a reason why they identify as ‘involuntarily celibate’ (sexless) and not ‘involuntary unloved’! Sex and insecurities related to it are at the heart of their problems.
@@kaylemkerr6989 How would you feel with the prospect that basically 0 people find you physically attractive?
@@eric-jr2nf I'm not really bothered! As a young man I have some similar insecurities to Incels the difference though is that I genuinely have no desire to pursue a sexual partner and romance; also I'm less misogynistic. To be completely honest I personally believe I'm undesirable to most women and not of interest due to my personality and looks. But I'm not upset/sad about this. I'm an anomaly.
@Sct Ann It's crazy that women have so high standards now that they only accept the top 20% of men and the 80% are treated as trash or flawed. Women are not all entitled to have the best of the best. THAT'S crazy and destructive for society. "It is not good that the man should be alone" is what God said (Genesis 2:18) and that "Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man." (1 Corinthians 11:9) and "let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband." (1 Corinthians 7:2).
I'm personally married and know I have been desired by some women, but I'm concerned about society and can sympathize with those that call themselves incels, and can see what they say as what is actually happening in society. They are seeing a trend in society and are sick of it. You on the other hand are just cruel and careless. You are like a rich snob telling the homeless to just suck it up and move on with life without a roof over the head.
@Sct Ann Then divorcing women are not entitled to alimony, or abortions or shelters or a job or food stamps or to take half the stuff of her husband.
In the Victorian and earlier eras, it was the parents of the daughter and son who determined if a young man was suitable enough for their daughter, and the daughter suitable for the son. Were they in the same financial and social class? Were they a respectable family? Was the son ambitious, and going to be capable of keeping a wife in the same type of lifestyle she grew up in? (This was actually important - the parents wanted their daughter to leave their home, and enter as a wife into the same situation she grew up in). The parents of the son wanted to make sure that the young woman and her family was respectable also, that she had a good upbringing and was going to be a good addition to the family. The children were chaparoned and supervised in all social circles and their feelings were not important. A good match between families for upward mobility, status and class were the reasons for marriage. Love wasn't considered because marriage was basically a business contract and deal for families. An incel back then would have been an unambitious young man not interested in business or society, flippant and uncaring of his responsibility and duty to his family and social class. Someone who neglected his education and didn't care about his appearance (appearance for men was important, in dress and manners - men had to dress properly for the different occasions they were obligated to attend, and know the unwritten rules of etiquette in their circle). Young women had to present themselves similarly and had more social obligation and rules than men did.
It's still like that in many cultures today.
@@tabby73 Not in America......men have even MORE obligations now, but women have very few if any, other than being north of the age of 18 and having a pulse.
Why aren't there any Female Incels? If its just men who are wrong and unfit how come there aren't many women that are the same way? its almost as if women don't have to live up to certain standards.
"Love wasn't considered because marriage was basically a business contract and deal for families.

i feel like your describing inceldom in Victorian times as a choice but nowadays, for me personally , it was lack of knowledge and neglect. if one does not have a family to fulfill obligations to and society has been compromised on a fundamental level; there is little in the way to build capability for incels. i feel like that is a severe injustice to those who have been left out. its unfair others live so good whilst others live in utter deprivation WHILST also being stigmatized . its obscene.

Very interesting! I've heard this term for awhile and was always wondering why it was necessary to point out that some guys can't get laid. That's hardly new or groundbreaking. Most guys have a hard time with it when they are younger.
Considering that many women have low self esteem and daddy issues, and go through many bad relationships, yet, not even one felt like making the bad judgement of sleeping with that guy, makes me wonder exactly how much of a creep he actually was.
Lmao 😂

I honestly don’t understand their way of thinking. I’m a female in my 20s that has never dated anyone and I’m still a virgin but I’ve never had any hostility on the whole male gender because of this.
@Rimiserk I get that, trust me I know what loneliness feels like but that doesn't justify killing people. It doesn't make sense to blame ALL women, that's literally 50% of the world population. Maybe get therapy or something not go on a murder spree.
@Rimiserk it's not even about who kills more. And the reason I dislike incels is based on my personal experience with them, not because of the media.
@@tinafoster8665 exactly! sounds to me like this person is projecting. I never said I hated them in fact I really do sympathize with them, I just don't agree with their hostile approach.
@@tinafoster8665 Eh women can just create a profile on a dating site and wait for men to write to them. Don't have to even be attractive or have a fun personality. It might not be the best looking men writing to them but at least it's something. For men it's different. If you're not attracted don't expect anyone to write to you first or even respond to your messages.
@ItsOkay Ipromise even very good looking men aren't getting a lot of matches. I know that because I dated a guy like that, and in real life he would get hit on all the time. He went on tinder to find an introvert girl (which is more rare). Anyway yes women have lots of matches, but it doesn't mean they are all interesting, and most of the time it's hard to find a person who is not desperate for sex, and who is willing to engage in a normal conversation. Real life is way better. And men who are "unattractive" have more chances to get a girl in real life rather than on apps, because yes, these apps are very superficial.
only thing that stops me from identifying as an incel is prostitudes. i don’t hate women but i hate when ppl say looks don’t matter when in fact they really do. even before social media and dating sites i was rejected and laughed at by both females and males in high school. now as an adult it’s the same but when it comes to dating sites i don’t even so much as get a reply back. i’m a respectful guy. i have my own car and my own place. i work. i cook. i clean. i dress decent. i don’t drink nor do heavy drugs. i hit the gym when i can and eat slightly healthy yet none of that matters when your ugly cause good looking chad living with mom is hot and girls rather have him
That is 100 per cent correct. All these average men with jobs and many own a house or apartment outright, have no debt, are clean, do not get drunk or smoke, but still ignored by women. It's seems very good looks is all that matters to women now.
@@ActiveAussie2024 and then when we do get em they don’t have respect for us. they expect us to simp more but screw that i rather be single forever
My friend is a clinical psychologist and she had never heard of this term before. Thank you for using the internet for good.
This is a group of people I empathize with a lot. While I reject most of their ideology,it took me an extremely long time to find a girlfriend. In big part because of mental health issues: depression and social anxiety. If I wasn't lucky enough to be able to afford counseling, I can totally imagine having ended up in those forums one day.
@Anarcho Frills I don't think you understand it
@Anarcho Frills I thought they just wanted a real relationship with women and yes, the intimacy, and also the connection that goes beyond the flesh.
@Anarcho Frills How do you know that? Ever talked to one? I'm incel and i can tell you, i don't just want to "use" any women. If i just wanted sex, i could just go into a brothel, but i don't believe that would satisfy me. I just want someone to love who loves me back, someone who sleeps next to me, someone i can hug when I've had a bad day, and talk with about everything.
I'm nearly tearing up, while writing this. Seriously man, I'am no sick creature, just another human being looking for happiness in a big confusing world.
I'm only a freak at the very moment someone like you points the finger at me and calls me that. Thats the problem with demonizing incels - you are not making it better for us, but worse.
And I'm not saying there aren't narcisstic assholes who are also incels. Of course they exist, but so are non-incel Narcissists. So that isn't always an indicator. Most incels are probably just like me - sad and shy and barely speaking up about the topic, not wishing anything bad for women or "alpha-males". So you shouldn't generalize because of some douchebags in forums.
I hope i could extent your mindset a bit. Have a nice day.
Nerd-Mask not being able to find a partner =/= being an incel. to be an actual incel you have to engage in the toxic incel ideology and you don’t seem to do that. when people "demonize" incels they mean the type of people who say the most dehumanizing sexist bs about women and act like intimacy is owed to them, and i think those people deserve to be demonized. but, again, you don’t seem to be doing that. i would suggest getting off any incel forums if you’re on them because it just drags you deeper into the incel world and further from reality. categorizing people into alpha/beta/attractive/not attractive is also unhealthy for your mind.
@@halifaxverbeck7098 I know they have a very toxic ideology, but I think it stems in part from their mental health issues. If mental health counseling was less stigmatized and even more importantly more widely available, I believe there'd be less people like this. Desperate people tend to go after extreme ideologies after all.
The word 'incel' has been greatly taken out of proportion. Being involuntarily celebate does NOT make you a loser, nor unworthy of love and/or relationships.
The problem like most problems today is related to social media and the way in which a "movement" is defined and labeled. Human nature boils everything down to identity, labels and communities. What's happened is that "incel," has been now identified with "misogyny" and/or hatred for women... which is far from the truth. The negative minority has been depicted as being the majority.
It's a form of bias that applies to countless other labels and identities that people choose to categorize others in.
What these fools dont know is that society created these people, they didnt voluntere to be in that position, hence the term incil, they fell a sence of depravation, when it concers love, marage and sex, as thoe they were given nothing, not even the crum after everyone else had there fill, no one really wants to be alone but some people just have very little choice becouse they arnt seen by the public as worthy of being considerd.

Hi I'm Dave, a 53 year old involuntary virgin. It's not my fault, I've tried so hard. I was labelled mentally ill for even attempting to better my circumstances and get a university degree. Not being able to find any work, I started my own business and now am well on my way to abundant wealth. If the girls don't like that, that's their problem.
I don't know if you're for real, but I am. I'm 38 years old and I am still a n involuntary virgin despite putting in years and years of work on improving myself and also being in the military. I have tried connecting with lots of women of different looks and walks of life but none of them found me attractive st all with the exception of two girls in high school who kissed me in 11th and 12th grade on campus.
I've never even had an actual date in my life either. Never even got to hold hands with a female romantically. There have been just two women in my life I have done text messages with after getting their phone numbers (very rare I get a phone number) but they lost interest in me and stopped texting back really quick.
So I guess it's just not in the cards for me and at this point where I'm reaching my forties I really can't even imagine what it would be like to have a relationship marriage sex and children now since I've been by myself for so much longer than most other people have.

Thank you for another informative discussion Dr. Grande. I do appreciate this one on INCEL because this is the first time that I have heard about this INCEL.

incel was created by a woman in 1992 its a legit term
I just started a ten week computer based course through the VA called web stair to work through ptsd management. Im doing weekly video connect with a therapist in San Francisco who guides me through it. I don’t have to leave my house where I feel safe. I think providing mental healthcare through video connection could be a good way to access the introverts who need it.
I totally agree. I do wish you success on your ptsd management, and I think it's awesome that you reached out for help when you needed it. I wish more people would have the strength to do that.
