Inceldom is an imaginary status not a lifestyle, it's not even about having sex since escortcels are considered incel, for some people it could be irrelevant and unimportant for some it's a big deal
But, just like someone said here, the moment you lose your incel status you can't ever become an incel again, just like virginity, because both aren't real physical things, they're just imaginary status
If inceldom was a measurable physical parameter, maybe a normie could become an incel after a decade of not having sex, but it's not
Incels just happen to be mostly ugly virgins, some of them could be good looking and have fucked whores, a non-incel could also be ugly, there's just 1 simple requirement for being incel that includes a wide variety of men: Never have had unpaid heterosexual sex despite not voluntary abstaining from it
Inceldom is just 1 symbol among many others, you can be an incel but not just an incel, yet the definition of incel remains the same
