You know what’s bizarre is that sometimes you see pics of self-described incels, and yeah there’s uggos or whatever, but some guys look normal or even attractive. If they didn’t have all that built up hatred and resentment, they honestly probably could have developed some rizz - or whatever - and had dates or at least normal interactions with women.
For what it’s worth, mental illness can so screw with your perception of yourself and your understanding of how others perceive you. During my late teens/ earlier 20s I was all but having to fight women off with a stick. One of them I literally had to fight off when she got too handsy. Beautiful girls practically throwing themselves at me, girls that in my eyes were way out of my league in every way. But I have what my last therapist called “avoidant personality disorder” so my brain is literally incapable of believing good things about myself. I will only ever believe that I am ugly no matter what happens unfortunately. I think a lot of incel guys probably experience feelings of low self worth so their handsomeness or lack thereof doesn’t change how they perceive themselves like one might expect it.
I’m 28 now and work graveyard shift so I don’t really spend time in social spaces with single people anymore. I suppose if I were to spruce up and get out there I’d still get some kind of attention but I’ve had enough bad experiences with women that I’d never want to.
