It was a dark and stormy night and I was perusing Amazon for new books to read. Then, there it was, “Why Incels are Right & You Are Wrong” by Dr. Lukas Castle.

In all honesty, I was only vaguely familiar with incel culture.

I knew some members were responsible for heinous crimes. I knew the term “incel” stood for involuntarily celibate (but I didn’t understand the ‘involuntary part’ of that nomenclature). And I knew the prevailing media-driven narrative was to despise incels without any further explanation.

When it came to incels, there were clear gaps to fill in. So I decided to give “Why Incels are Right & You Are Wrong” a read.

After finishing it… there are some interesting conclusions I’d like to hear your thoughts about in regards to incels, dating, male/female standards, and online dating apps.

What is an Incel and Why Are They ‘Evil?’

The book defines incels as, individuals who do not have sex, regardless of how much they might want to, as opposed to others who simply chose to refrain from intercourse (voluntary celibate).

Incels are usually men, who are physically unattractive and have bad social skills.
