Your Definition
Short for involuntary celibate. Being an incel means being treated as subhuman by others (especially women) due to your shabby appearance, treating others as subhuman in retaliation, then getting blamed and branded a misogynist by society. Incels are defined by being unable to attract women and/or form romantic relationships, and just being unsuccessful in general. If you happen to be born a medium ugly (2.5-4.5/10) man in a first world country in recent years, you are very likely to become an incel. However if you're VERY ugly (<2.5/10) it might paradoxically increase your chances of getting a date because women might feel sorry for you.
