Incels hasn't been about that in a long time. It's already evolved into "self-improvement" by adopting far-right extremist ideology. In particular that of being a hyper-masculine bigotted conservative man. Their underlying theory of world is still the same. Love is fake and women cheat and leave you taking all your money unless you become the strong man chad and dominate her. Instead of the pit of self loathing based on the premise that everyone is out to get you. You become the biggest alpha over every other guy. Fundamentally the ideology is the flip side of the same coin. It's a very dark misanthropic view of the world.

It's surely been some sort of cult brainwashing. Tear guys down with crab bucket mentality. Then build them up according to their doctrine.

There are some women who want exactly that kind of man. OTOH, even around the reddest part of Florida, most women put something on their dating profile to reject those men. Dated more than ever during the pandemic, yeah, weird, I know, but here's what I saw and heard.

Profiles outright saying MAGA can fuck off.
Profiles saying either they're "not political" or "no politics". That's a dog whistle for no MAGA (more on that).
Plainly stated liberal views, again, no MAGA.
Laughingly told one woman before we went out that I was pretty redneck. "Uh, just how redneck?" "I fucking loathe Trump if that's what you mean." "OH! Whew. OK."
More than one date told me guys either went OFF about Trump or went off on THEM about Trump, on the first date.
Either they gently probed me on politics or flat out refused to speak of it, at least until they knew for sure I wasn't MAGA. See note about about first dates.

Despite being a middle-aged white guy, my looks and profile were clearly, to me anyway, liberal. Did quite well! LOL, friends and neighbors were making fun of me regarding all the women in and out the house. (That wasn't on purpose, most just didn't work out.) As I said, there were a handful of profiles saying "conservatives only, no liberals". Given the politics of the region, those were shockingly rare.

I can only imagine that going red ain't working out so well for incels. And the downward spiral continues.

EDIT: I worked hard on the meme. Please clap.

They took "self-improvement" to mean physical health while completely ignoring mental and emotional health.

physical health is great for passively improving both of those

Being physically healthy makes it much easier to be mentally/emotionally healthy, but they still don't just get better unless you actively work on them.
