Not knowingly

I've known a few people though that I wouldn't be surprised at all to learn they are incel

One, years ago. He started working with us as a trainee a year or so out of high school and had some bad wiring from his parents and subsequently weird ideas about women and sex that kept women away from him and vice versa. He's still a bit different but we managed to get him out of his shell and participating in society a bit more and he even ended up having a gf for a few months but nothing has really stuck because his weird mannerisms tend to attract equally nutty women but it's a work in progress.

They have a lot of slang. It's almost a whole other language when they talk

I doubt anyone on that board would act like that irl. But who knows, maybe there are people who see couples and shout "NORMIE SCUMS"

just the fact they are virgins and it not being a choice they made? (which lets face it, is most virgins these days past a certain age) or the kind that are that, but bitch whine and moan about it all the time?

actually doesn't matter i've met one that fits both. think most of his grief came from he couldn't even score with the town whore who seemingly liked to take guys virginity. most of the time he started bitching about it, he'd mention her at least once. but hey, she may have been easy, but she was a really cool chick and did have some standards.

he finally got past it though. though after dropping a shit ton of weight, gaining some muscle, he finally got laid and his outlook on life changed, but now hes insufferably arrogant, where as before he was only annoyingly arrogant over everything but being able to get a woman. he had this "i'm always right and everyone else is wrong" attitude about a lot of things. and bragged non stop about his video game skills, which he was good at, but would never do anything with it like enter tournaments

edit: we only hung around him cause as long as you could keep him off the topic of girls, and could stand his ego, he was a pretty funny dude.

I think there's a difference between literal and technical use of the term "incel". Like, most high school boys are involuntarily celibate because they're just entering the age where sex is an explicit desire but have very few reliable ways to entice girls. It's just the natural state of things. I was pretty frustrated about my helplessness in that regard during my high school years.

Then there's the people that never figure it out and just kinda go through life as herbivores. Usually nice enough people but put out a kind of scent that lets you know something is kinda weird about them. I worked with one and he was a totally nice dude but had a bit of a "Golly gee! I can't wait for the next Marvel movie so I can make up a new fan theory for my forum to ponder!" vibe.

And then there's the "Would necrophilia count as losing my virginity? What if the body was still warm?" and "I wish I could kill every fucking Chad out there so that my poor princess could finally see what a Nice Guy I am" crowd that are clearly broken humans. I've never met one of those.

I guess I'm one, not like the hateful ones from Reddit or anything. Just too socially inept and pathetic to be with. Honestly, being a virgin doesn't bother a lot usually(sometimes it does though). I'm much more frustrated at the lack of real relationships in my life. The fact that no one seems interested or really cares. It's practically like I don't even exist unless they need something, then I'm just expected to give them what they want and go back to not existing.

It kind of bothers when people say I'm this way by choice, simply because prostitutes are an option(illegal anyway). Especially when those people have no idea what it's like to be this way and have had many encounters themselves to the point that they can't even comprehend someone being unfortunate in this area of life.
