Let's imagine a life scenario in which each of us has enough resources to seriously consider a lifestyle completely shielded from the thought of women. A lifestyle in which you limit your media consumption to a degree where you don't read, listen, see or appreciate anything that's made by women, or that mention women / relationships. You don't watch porn, you don't have female relatives or landlords to talk to, you don't interact with female attendants, you don't even have female VI voices in your phone - but you still have all your previous experiences as memories and are biologically attracted to them.
Do you think you'd be happier in the long run if you'd commit to this sort of life?
I ask because, I often wonder whether the source of all my personal frustration comes from being overexposed to a mirage that I'll never have. From the time when we were children, we've been trained to think about how utterly natural and foolproof it is to grow up and get a partner, yet here we all are - alone but most of all, frustrated, because we feel we lack something that's universal. We crave women as if they were Frodo's ring, and ultimately I honestly can't see how men like us are supposed to find long-term happiness without this key missing ingredient in life that everyone else seems to enjoy without a second thought.
(Also, there have been men that have been exposed to this plausible scenario; prisoners doing life, career army men, Buddhist monks, and so on. Obviously not all of them fit the incel qualifier, but it'd be really interesting for me to hear from incels who've gone through similar paths of long term isolation from women, and whether they feel happier or worse off.)
