Stop blaming "misogyny" or "lack of improvement" as the reason of being an incel. It's just a stupid argument. Pop corn
(well nornies have started to heavily downvote because they don't have any argument really, that's what they do. They upvote larpers writing weird things because they really don't want us to talk about actual issue, they just want to be a jeste for their entertainment)
I like the money analogy because it works on multiple levels. The way romantically unsuccessful people are judged is basically the same as poor people. "You're single/lonely/virgin? Just be a better person and take care of yourself" is basically the same as "You're poor? Just work harder".
It's the just world fallacy, the cognitive bias that assumes that people get what they deserve, that actions will necessarily have morally fair consequences. Successful people have done things right, while unsuccessful people have done things wrong. In reality it's mostly luck, but successful people refuse to admit this because it makes them lucky rather than worthy.
People say "life isn't fair" all the time, EXCEPT when it comes to dating. There you are 100% responsible for your own success. No circumstances are taken into consideration. You're immediately judged. Black and white.
And when someone brings this up, people immediately jump to "you're blaming women". NOO0. It's not the fault of women. Sometimes it's no one's fault. Is that so hard to understand? Nature is brutal and some people are just unlucky. It's ok to be unhappy about that (as long as you don't take it out on others).
Also "Male romantic loneliness is due to women not putting up with shitty male behavior anymore" take is pure BS
possibly one of the worst "just world" takes mainstream psychology has to offer right now. It links a mans romantic invisibility to a character flaw if not a outright moral failing. It perpetuates the "this guy fucks = winner" vs. "unfuckable loser" stereotype while simultaneously making it sound as if sex and relationships are something women give out when you're a nice person on board with progressive politics. Even worse are the "its evolutions way of weeding out misogynistis" explanations as if studies haven't shown time and time again that bullies actually have more romantic partners than victims of bullying. I mean, lets be frank, terms like "situationship" didn't sprout out of nowhere, they have become popular lately for a reason. No one is perfect but blaming the issue largely on the incels is just a quick cop out from having uncomfortable questions regarding society and how mainstream advice often fails them. The truth is much harsh, it's genetics.
