They are quite literally quaking in their space boots even thinking about the vagina in it's natural habitat. These are people who have been conditioned to believe that maleness is defined by a rigid code that involves them having power over women through sexual domination (chadliness), that code is hyper-realized on the internet echo chamber and before long people who were just in the closet bend their brains backward to create excuses that still allow them to obey the code (in a semantic sense) and yet never engage in heterosexual sex or intimacy.
Or they're manchildren raised with developmental neglect and enabled by the hive mentality the internet breeds, disjointed from heterosexual norms at the earliest possible ages thanks to immediate porn access and subsequently encouraged to avoid challenging their comfort zones. From this spoiled soil and cosmic indifference springs a mentally and emotionally septic feedback loop that twists the only examples of masculinity they've ever imbibed--media representation--into a codification that they refuse to discharge because their warped minds have been conditioned to see sexual domination (chad) as an antagonistic force that their sexual sensitivity is meant to overcome. Once they realize that the world does not owe them a hero's journey with a hot girl as a trophy, and the hot girls of the world have their own lives, they rationalize the problem into being a toxic world alongside their deepening self-hatred which explodes with pathetic whimpering because their libidos reflexively fight them (and usually win).

Or they all secretly want cock. I don't know. I think if that's what they really wanted there would be way more of them sucking each other off instead of trying to build sexbots or w/e.

Even in that place there were dudes who stood out as scummier than the rest, so the same dwarf bought a site called wizardchan for them to go. On wizardchan only hopeless NEETs and virgins are allowed to post and you will be banned if it is found you are not either. Turns out that despite being stunted, stuck in a wheelchair with brittle bone disease, the owner somehow managed to get himself laid.

This can come across as generic, like you're reading off a conversational checklist. The better move, if a little harder because it requires some sensitivity and attentiveness, is to try to spot something she seems to be proud of or that she has emphasized / clearly put some amount of work into and then compliment that.
Yeah rule of thumb for compliments-- compliment something that took effort, not something that is endemic to the person. For example-- "You have nice boobs" versus "I really like the effort you put into your push-up bra and cardigan today. It really makes your cleavage pop. And if there's foundation or other makeup on your chest I'd never be able to tell."

jfc I was making a joke about being ambiguous in perceiving her eyeliner. Did you think she had nice eyeliner today versus other days? Did she screw it up and you're being a pal and pointing it out? Are you just weird and making a statement? What is it? Eyeliner is tough to apply well and instead of teaching someone who to give a compliment I'm advocating a socially inept technique that can foster resentment and insecurity. Boom frog dissected thank you very much.

Apparently this thread is now a multi-layered irony competition to see which forum poster has the true secret to giving good compliments. The key takeaway seems to be to not overthink it by posting a ton of thoughts about not overthinking it.

It is a special brand of mosquito-annoying when losers try to justify their awful behavior with autism, self-diagnosed or otherwise. I'm autistic, and it doesn't excuse poo poo. When I'm a poo poo person I'm a poo poo person. Autism just explains particular ways I can be a poo poo person. It doesn't preclude emotional maturity nor learned theory of mind, and incels who co-opt the term (and the teenage refuse that mocks them with said term) make it that much loving harder to be autistic in society.

Part of it is young male libido really can drive the sexually maladjusted insane. Until I aged past 25 and my hormones calmed the gently caress down, I didn't realize just how much damage they were doing on my perception of the world. Guys who can never get laid must have it even worse, like a fidget spinner (topical 2017 reference) shredding what little rational capacity they have.

I think it's because if you gender swapped incels and their arguments, making a few modifications, a female incel would actually be correct more often than a male incel. Plus women don't generally go on shooting sprees or advocate rape, so there's that... but anyway

Male incel: women don't appreciate me because they don't care about intelligence and they don't want romance. They just want hot NSA sex with that big-dicked guy Chad.

Female incel: men don't appreciate me because they don't care about intelligence and they don't want romance. They just want hot NSA sex with that big-boobed girl Stacey.

Neither statement could possibly apply all across the board, but one of them is more often accurate than the other.

S'true. Most of the really strong STEM women I've met tended to be Eastern European or Asian, and were encouraged into the field at a young age. Practical desperation > Sexism it seems. I think it would help if a lot of STEM courses I've been in didn't give off such a dry, sterile vibe.

They have no compassion for anyone not also an incel. Yet they expect other people to have compassion for them.
I don't think they want other people to have compassion. If they did it would actually challenge them to change, grow, and take responsibility for their shortcomings. They've conditioned themselves to getting off to bemoaning the lack of compassion to the point where it's a reflex much like actual masturbation, and forgotten that "compassion" != "coddling/indulging."

It doesn't help that many people are buttfucking terrible at showing compassion even when they have it/want to, because it involves validating a viewpoint they might find reprehensible and it's easy to confuse "validation" with "coddling/indulgence," complicated even further when many given validation are eager to abuse it.

Well that's just it. They're a generation of boys taught that they're the protagonist of their lives and by extension the world, and can't reconcile that latent narcissistic value with the realities of life.

I don't know about girls that like casual sex all having rock bottom self-esteem though. Some must by law of averages, but whatever their underlying reason it's their choice and has poo poo all to do with me or my approval.
