At my undergrad my only friends were 2 other incels, and an alt right chadlite who used to hang out with me when his cooler friends weren’t around. Probably the worst 3 years of my life, given I was living on campus. The important lesson is to make lots of friends within the first 2-3 weeks or you’re done.
From that experience I tried a different approach at my postgrad. Was commuting from my conservative parents’ house so was at a disadvantage right away by not being able to hang out with people at bars late, but ultimately I did manage to make numerous friends.
Right after the first class I approached a chadlite who was hanging out alone. He was one of only 3 other males doing my course. Went for lunch with him and got socially associated with him because people will constantly judge you if they see you sitting alone. Over the next 2 weeks I also got to know the other 3 males pretty well by hanging out with them each individually outside of class, but one was a Chinese international student so pretty detached.
I also talked to a few random guys from other courses who were in shared classes if I was sitting next to them in lectures. I made sure to go to society events of societies that were male-led and I was interested in, and then approached and used common interest areas. It helped there were usually free drinks at these events to reduce social inhibition. I found career and academic focused societies were better than purely hobby or politics driven ones, as a lot of the latter societies just end up full of incels, while with the former you can mix more with normies. There’s nothing wrong with participating in the latter but it’s better if you can mix it up, maybe do one or two from the first category as well.
Something to avoid is femoid led or dominated societies: I tried this in undergrad because I had a hobby that was femoid dominated and another where the hobby and thus society makeup was male dominated but orbiters put one or more foids up in the top position. Both of these were very bad experiences. Foids with lots of foids means female clique mentality. Foids in charge of lots of male orbiters means it turns into a foid worshipping operation as normies think that if a foid talks to them, even to boss them around, they have a chance with said foid.
As for foids in class — and they made up 85% of people on my course — I engage with them politely and “amicably”, like responding when they decide to initiate pointless small talk with me and interacting with them in group discussions with other males, but I rarely if ever do I initiate conversation with them unless I don’t know where a class is or something. This is the best approach to take for an incel. If you approach them and try to hang out with them you will be dubbed a creep and if you ignore them totally you will be dubbed a weirdo. Either way they start gossiping about you to males, and then males won’t want to be associated with you either because most normie men will always pick a female over an incel friend if they have to choose.
