Do you have sympathy for male 'incels (involuntary celibates)?

+1. I remember reading some studies into genetics and geography and it showed that women and their genes travel further than men and this has been the case throughout our history. Like you say you can see this in small towns around Ireland. The ratio of teenage men and women in a local nightclub are about equal, but that gets more skewed as the ages go up. Even in tribal societies it's nearly always the women that marry out into other groups. It's one theory why women are generally better on average at acquiring languages. It was positively selected for because of these movements.
I hadn't heard of that particular mechanism for language acquisition but it makes sense. Going back in time another element would have been hunter gather societies losing women to farming societies because of the better ability to provide resources.
In the US it can go down to particular cities, for example either in NY or Manhattan 10% of men are gay and various other reasons make it harder for women to meet men, the suggestion is for them to move to California where more men are employed.

A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

There's more than just "a chance". There's a high probability.
I think the major disconnect is that you seem to think "stick male part into female part" = sex. It may be for men, but it isn't for women.
To claim that women can have sex easily simply because there's plenty of male parts wanting to get stuck into something is a bit like claiming that everybody on the planet has enough to eat because there are plenty of insects everywhere.
That's pretty much it in a nutshell. While you're turning up your nose at the yucky ants there are ten guys looking jealously over at all your free protein
That 20% figure someone quoted earlier. Does that mean
- on average if you showed a woman 5 men at random she would find one attractive (entirely plausible). OR
- only one in five men are considered attractive by women in general (less likely) or by any women at all (statistically nil chance)
Atrtractive can also be assessed differently from a female point of view (gross generalisation) as having enough positive qualities to say yes while from a male point of view it's not enough repulsive ones to say no.
It takes more time to reach the former conclusion than the latter.0 -
They are not 'incel'. They are just weird/not great looking guys who want to have sex with hot girls. There are millions of ugly men in relationships , you know what they do? Find an ugly girlfriend.
There are no incels, only people who do not want to settle for their standard.
Well... thanks, I guess. My husband is one of the genuinely nicest people I ever met. Does that then mean I'm ugly?

Yes, I had been wondering that. I know male attraction is largely based on visual. I've been told that most men will subconsciously or consciously do a I'd do her/I wouldn't do her assessment of a woman they meet for the first time within seconds of meeting her.
I'm not sure if that's true, please do correct me if it isn't.
I've had a reasonable share of partners, but I honestly cannot claim that I EVER would have been able to decide that on a picture. Looks are entirely secondary for this choice for me, and I've had conversations with male friends sitting in cafes that went "So would you do him? What about him?" pointing at random strangers and eventually accusing me of not being honest when I said I simply didn't know.
Even for casual sex, I will want to have a chat with the guy to figure that out, first.
Mind you, there are some visual things that would repel me, but there are no visuals that would attract me to the point of making a decision.0 -

If we presume these women are having sexy with men then doesn't that mean there's an equal amount of men having sex?
Well you'd think that but if you look at online dating stats its not the case. Girls swipe right like 10-20% of guys, and guys swipe right like 80% of girls on tinder. Okcupid did an article about it and it was similar stats
