A lot of incels claim that a man cannot be happy unless he is in a relationship or having regular sex with a woman he finds attractive. While that is a major component of happiness, it is not everything in life. Spending all day fixating on that while doing nothing else with your time is just making your bad life even worse.
People have often wondered why are there so few people on incel sites when statistically there are millions of incels in North America alone. I think it's because most incel men understand this. They realize they don't have dates/sex, but they just go on with their lives the best they can.
I spent many years of my life with physical medical problems that prevented me from doing much. But those issues have mostly resolved now. In the past few months, I have tried to take advantage of that. I have made it my philosophy that whatever I would do with a girlfriend (if I had one), I would just do on my own. Especially as someone who as been forced into inactivity in the past, this has been really liberating.
Some examples:
- Going swimming in a lake I like solo (really fun with or without company)
- Eating at restaurants solo for lunches/dinner after work (though I don't do this much because I don't like eating out in general)
- Going to movies solo (this has become my new favorite thing - I pick a movie that's 2-3 weeks old and go for the ~10:30 PM late show so the theater's almost empty)
- Going to street festivals solo (every week my city has at least one street festival with music and food trucks, etc)
- Going to the beach solo (nice just to take a walk down the boardwalk or dip your toes in the sand)
- Going to a concert solo (did this once, great band, always wanted to see them, had fun)
At absolutely none of these things have I felt any problem at all. It's been very fun. The only thing I've tried so far I didn't like was going to a nightclub solo. Nightclubs are brutal even when you're with company though so that's probably fair. It wasn't really any WORSE than when I've been with people. Nightclubs just suck in general.
I've had many friends in my life. I've done all these things and more with people and now solo as well. Honestly, a lot of it I enjoy as much or more on my own. No hassle of organizing or planning. No driving to meet or pick up anyone. No worrying about what THEY want to do or whether THEY are having fun. You just worry about yourself. Whatever you want to do, you do.
I think some of you guys are crazy just sitting inside your houses all day doing nothing when you're perfectly healthy physically and could be doing so many more things you might enjoy.
On the other hand, if you're someone that just doesn't enjoy ANYTHING at all, then I guess that's different, but then of course, what would be different if you had a girlfriend? If you hate doing anything, what would you do together?
There's one piece of normie advice people commonly say, and I can't completely disagree anymore. They say that we should try to build the type of lives that a woman would want to be part of. I think irrespective of being incel or not, that's probably true. If you have absolutely nothing planned every weekend and spend all day staring at a computer screen, are you going to be happy? Would anyone else be happy doing that with you?
For my part, I feel like I've been given a new lease on life so I'm taking advantage. On my to do list:
- Visit a major aquarium I've always wanted to go to solo
- Take a flight somewhere for a week solo (nervous about this one still for some reason)
Live your life. With or without women. We're all gonna get old and die. May as well do some things you might enjoy along the way.
