Discussion on .is surrounding what incel does or does not entail has become cluttered and complicated.

Incel - Involuntary celibate, one who wants sex but cannot get it.
Volcel - Voluntary celibate, one who can get sex but does not want it.

Obviously, a pragmatic lens must be applied to these definitions or most here would be considered volcels. It is impractical to call anyone who has enough money to pay for a prostitute a volcel. Even if they didn't, they would technically be able to rape. It's probably more practical to consider these two terms on an axis.

Incel
Trucel - KHHV, would get turned down by prostitutes or the ugliest of the ugly foids. Truly doomed to a life of never experiencing sex.
NDcel - KHHV. Other factors are good enough to ascend, but doomed by ND.
Looksmatchercel - KHHV, probably sub-5, but would not ascend with a 500lb torta (given they're not also 500lb). Has a sense of dignity.
Anti-buxxer - KHHV. Refuses to buxx for a relationship.
Escortmaxxer - Are they still able to be considered an incel if they regularly pay for sex? Would them stopping their escortmaxxing then make them a volcel given they still have the material conditions to do so?
Currentcel - Has had relationship(s) before. Probably some hiding on .is
Volcel

Thoughts? Where do you stand on the list?
 
Great list, it truly captures everything. I'm trucel
 
AFAIK, the forum defines incel as being unable to get a romantic relationship which would naturally include sex, not just sex itself, and escortcelling is generally considered to not mean anything as it's a paid service and the foids don't actually like you.

oh, this definition makes a lot more sense. I suppose it's extra over for NDcels then because romantic relationships with foids are impossible for them.
 
so when people say "ascend" do they mean get into a relationship? if they slay a random foid but couldn't get into a relationship would they still be considered an incel? this never happens though so I guess it's not important to consider.

exactly

I'm somewhere in-between these two. Not low SMV enough to be truecel tier but I have enough other failos to not be a pure mentalcel.
 
I am fairly average in most respects, except that I have a skull deformity; fortunately, I am scheduled for several corrective surgeries next year, and if the procedures and recovery go well, I may finally feel confident enough to pursue a more intimate relationship with my younger sister.

I suspect most users are in this zone even if they believe they could ascend if they were NT

This is me 100%. Although I'm slightly above average in looks it just isn't enough to ascend when you're ND.

Volcel is when a woman is attracted by you but you reject her

I am a mix of both of these
 
what would you call someone who doesn't want sex at all with foids because of his hate towards them, but even if he wanted it he still wouldn't be able to get it?

Good list to be honest

Depends on its called a spectrum for a reason
so when people say "ascend" do they mean get into a relationship? if they slay a random foid but couldn't get into a relationship would they still be considered an incel? this never happens though so I guess it's not important to consider.
Ascend means either a foid voluntarily has sex with you, so she sees you as attractive enough, no relationship required, still you could say that this has its limit, for example if your a white 3/10 a foid in asia would probably rate you a 6 or 7 compared to her fellow country men, so you could probably ascend with (even have a relationship) but you could still be considered to be an Incel.

You could discussed if some 20 yo guy, who where able to have some half drunk bitch to fuck him, but werent able to have free sex with women for the next 10 years could be considered an Incel
 
I don't look good enough to ascend but I also am not NT enough, even if I miraculously found someone interested I'd be anti buxxer for sure. Lately I started not to even wanting to ascend at this point
