    I don’t think they did. The bar is pretty low and still applies if you’re poor or rich.

    No need to bring incell culture here.

      i’m bringing incel culture here? did you notice notice this is a post about “incel culture” from and incel?
      besides, the notion that a financially unstable man has a hard time dating is not an incel concept… it’s just straight up reality.
      i’ve even seen good reasoning regarding a woman’s risk of pregnancy vs a man’s risk….

      i could go on, but it’s a straight up fact that: no money -> no honey

      and i do not blame women, i blame capitalism and patriarchy.

      incidentally i actually met their hero, Elliot Rogers… aka, the incel school shooter….
      he was very rich, his dad directed Hunger Games… aside from being a psychopathic piece of shit, incel has nothing to do with money, it’s about how they think they can’t get laid with their idolized tall blond woman without being a chad or whatever….

      tl;dr the bar is low but definitely includes financial stability… not wealth.

      6 figures, 6 feet, 6 inches is on a lot of people’s profiles.

      If you were rich it would probably more than double the number of people who are interested in you.

      Part of why there are so many idiots self assigning as incels is because we refuse to agree with them when it’s fair.

      This shit culture perpetuates itself all over the gender spectrum.

        six inches is like an inch above the US average and six feet two inches above the average US male height, why aim so low

          Those are the majority of the women who are on dating apps

          You’re saying to not use dating apps. Which is how 90%+ of people meet their partners these days

            No, I’m saying to avoid “the majority” of women on there who likely do not share values with you.

            Would you rather actually spend your time to go on a date with them only to find how shallow and materialistic someone is? Or would you rather know in advance to not waste your time?

              It feels like you are speaking from the perspective of somebody who is sought instead of those who have to initiate relationships.

              I think the people we are talking about here want any date they can get, and they feel like they have done the things necessary to meet someone, but they dont. Which is what makes them so crazy.

                Eh, idk about being sought, but the dating experience did fundamentally change after I felt confident enough to be more worried about what a potential match brought to the table than whether or not I’d get a date. The pool of applicants wasn’t big, but I was happier being solo than with the wrong person.

                For the record, I didn’t down vote you.

                  Eventually people have to settle.

                  There is no person who will check all the boxes, and limiting your options too much does mean you will be alone forever.

                  These people look at it mathematically, and from that perspective they aren’t wrong.
