Why do most incels work in STEM?

They require less people skills than most jobs.

Pretty straightforward, really.

Because there were always nerds and they were always unsuccessful with people. A significant portion of them just call themselves incels now. Only the names have changed.

reddit is for nerds bro, most people HERE will be in stem

STEM guys are more intelligent and make a lot more money!

Which makes them the perfect beta providers to suck up the sloppy seconds...if they're lucky. 👍

Intelligent guys have less sex so that could be part of it. Also I’m going to school for comp sci/data science and the only women I have in my courses are Asians forbidden from boys and 30 year old single moms going back to college so I’d imagine the programmers and engineers here aren’t exactly meeting a lot of young single women in their careers

You can get away with taking to people much less than other jobs

I would say most incels are probably NEETs. I’m in STEM, and I would say from my experience, very few males fit the incel description. Most of the guys I came across as a chemist were quite charming and attractive with girlfriends or wives. The white guys at least, I’m not sure about the East Asian or Indian guys though. They usually never talk about themselves.

I’m sure that changes as you get more into engineering and computer science. I’ve known a couple comp sci guys who lacked what seemed like any social skills.

Because all their coworkers are similarly minded people who have an equal amount of social ineptitude, particularly with women.

Well I think people in STEM are naturally more inquisitive. They like to reason about their situation the same way they reason about their field of work, instead of just accepting everything at face value. Oftentimes just asking "why?" will send you down a rabbit-hole, ultimately landing you here one way or another.

High IQ is linked to higher rates of virginity.

They think it somehow equates to blue collar work because it makes decent money.

purplish_possum · 2023-09-25T05:24:25+00:00

They don't. IRL most incels don't have degrees and work at very low status jobs (if they work at all).

The ones who complain online are the entitled ones who think they deserve better treatment from women.

Most incels know they're losers.

The difficult majors often require the most social isolation. Youd have to be very gifted to party a lot while doing a hard math/Cs major.

But one could say they’re loners because of the difficulty of their major AND rejection by women so they focus more on what they’re good at.

Being intelligent enough to get through an undergrad in STEM and also being on the internet for long periods of time naturally leads men to becoming aware of why things are the way that they are

A lot of STEM folks and others in the hard sciences are more prone to linear thinking. A lot of Incels tend to be on the spectrum and many people on the spectrum tend to be prone to rigid routines and linear thinking.
