I'd imagine to a lot of people here, ascending means more than just having sex with some used up town bike 3/10 lardwhale that's sloppy seconds of everybody else.
If escortmaxxing isn't ascension, then betabuxxing doesn't count either. In both cases, the foid only has sex with you because of your wallet.
And since foids can't ever feel romantic love or any form of genuine attraction for sub 8 males, it's near impossible for men with incel tier looks to ever get in a LTR without betabuxxing. By reasoning from this premise, you reach the conclusion to find that the vast majority of incels cannot ever ascend.
