Let me explain something to all of you "truecels" who think that you are somehow guaranteed to be more miserable than a person who had sex once 10 years ago or something. Psychological and economical studies support the notion of "loss aversion," which means that people prefer to avoid losses over acquiring equivalent gains. This is based on the finding that it hurts more to lose something, than it feels good to gain that something. Some studies have posited and proven a factor of as much as 2, meaning that people suffer twice as much when they lose something than they experience pleasure at gaining that something.
What does this mean in this context? That it is potentially more personally damaging to have had sex once and then remember it for the rest of your life, being unable to replicate it, clinging to that memory, asking yourself why you can't achieve that success again, than to never have had sex at all. Now, I'm not saying that this is an absolute truth, but this does contradict what many truecels claim. The reason why this can't be an absolute truth, and I've spoken on this before, is because suffering is subjective. If you've never lost anyone, or truly loved anyone, but have lived in a Rockefeller mansion and were driven in a limousine Benz to your private country club every day, then being a truecel may indeed be the most suffering you've experienced. The Vietnam war veteran who came back with PTSD and then found out his wife cheated on him, so he went ape shit and got put into a psych ward and then released years later as a medicated shell of a man... Do you think that maybe his suffering is worse than yours, despite him having sex? If you say "yes," or "no," then you didn't read what I said earlier, because suffering is subjective. The most you've ever suffered is the measuring stick. If trueceldom is the most you've ever suffered, then of course you might try to disqualify the suffering of others as inferior, because it is the greatest suffering you know. An incel whose wife died, for them that might be the greatest suffering that THEY ever know. It is 100% suffering for both of you. 10/10. So, stop being callous, insensitive, divisive idiots. It makes you look like the Normans, Staceys, and Chads whom you despise for doing the same thing to you. My view of this forum is that it is not the loneliness pain Olympics, it's a congregational point for people who are blackpilled, who feel rejected from society, who are involuntarily celibate by their own definition.
Truecels can't even argue from experience, because they've only seen one side of the equation, but incels who have had sex at some point but have suffered years of loneliness and neglect thereafter can speak from both sides of the issue. Incels who had sex once were "truecels" until they had sex. One may argue that if they had sex, they were never really truecel to begin with. But by that definition, aren't all of you who are pushing for some sort of elitist insular definition of incel, or a separate validation circle-jerk truecel subforum, all just one sexual encounter away from an identity crisis?
Imagine for a second that it happens, that you have sex. Will you come on this forum and renounce everything you said about truecels and incels and the hypothetical distinction therein? Somehow I doubt it.
TL;DR: Suffering is subjective, don't belittle others or tell them their suffering isn't real, you have no way of proving or determining that simply based on narratives. Stop trying to ostracize incels from a community of ostracized incels, it makes you look like a Norman bully, in other words a piece of human filth.
