in my neck of the woods I would say a sizeable minority of guys under 30 are incels, either virgin or in a prolonged dry spell. many girls in that age bracket date older guys or tend to cluster around alphas/Chads creating an imbalance in the dating market. it's something that's totally not addressed in the MSM. boys grow up with a fictional representation of gender relationships where getting girls is relatively easy so many of them experience frustration and disillusionment when confronted with the reality of prevalent negative feedback from their female peers. there's also a pervasive culture of shaming so many tend to deny their condition of incelness.
