Declaring that you're an incel doesn't mean that you're doing so voluntarily. It's basically declaring "I've tried, but I can't get laid"

yeah, but if someone declared themselves as an incel, they're basically creating a self-fulfilling prophecy of being defined as an incel.
so, in the future, they may have a girl who's showing a ton of interest, but the self-declared incel will say "oh, well...too bad, cus I'm an incel" and then self sabotage or something.

while if someone tries and fails, but doesn't define themselves as an incel, that girl showing tons of interest might actually lead to something because he's not getting in his own way cus he's not telling himself "i'm an incel, it wont work because i'm an incel"

idk. mindset can really affect things, so someone declaring themselves to be one thing might only perpetuate it further. like, if someone woke up every morning and said "my life sucks. I'm depressed" first thing, they're less likely to see the good things in life. same with the opposite, if someone wakes up and says "I love life" they'll be more likely to see a silver lining in things. like, when someone has a specific mindset, they will usually try to find ways to prove themselves right.
