I ask this because I've been thinking about one thing.
In more rural areas, there is more community feeling to it; I use to live in rural areas back in the South (I grew up in a large family) so in this rural town, almost everybody knew each other to the point where they might not see them for some time and one day they will come across each other in a parking lot where they will recognize each other on site.
Versus in more urban areas (especially cities and megapolis), there is an almost insignificant feeling to it; You are among the thousands of faceless people packed closely to each other. It's more harder to make friends there unless you were either co-workers or live in the same space. I imagine it would be even more harder for sexhavers to date due to increased competition due to the sheer amount of people.
With more job opportunities and because nowadays people are becoming increasingly socialized (overly I say), people flock to cities, raise children there and due to those two reasons, urbanization is growing at a rate. But because of the above reason, I wonder if urbanization contributes to inceldom.
Think about this: With deruralization and thus the community ambience that goes with it diminished, and these people flocking to more competitive, impersonal and insignificant urban areas, the dating and sexual competition will explode and will make it harder for people at the bottom of the sexual hierarchy to compete (not to mention, having more difficulties establishing friendships or feelings of belonging as mentioned before).
In more rural areas, there are less people so less competition plus if it hadn't been for the horrific invention of dating apps, people will be paired with their looksmatch due to aforementioned less competition and a community feeling to rural areas.
One more thing; There is a social psychological concept called the proximity principle. Here is an excerpt of a definition down below.
Anyways, what are your thoughts on this?
