Incel: male who wants to have sex or be in a relationship but isn't in one mainly because of his looks or mental disorders
By this definition at least 30% or more of males are currently incel.
This.
I think we should stop making incels to be this exclusive group of real "truecels" because it limits the potential reach this community can have in society.
Obviously, I recognize that there are levels to this and yeah, some incels might be mentalcels and volcels on some level, but they if you haven't explicitely taken a vow of chastity (like priests) and you're not getting sex/you're not in romantic relationship, then you're an incel.
I also think that men who have had relationships in the past but can't get one right now even if they're still relatively young (25-35) should be counted as incels too in the broad sense of the word when we speak about statistics like this.
The main issue here is the dating game and how rigged it is against men. A lot of men are suffering because of it and there should be at least 25% of men who are relegated to incel-tier of some sorts in the West.
