    What you said is all true, and there’s no excusing that level of rottenness, but I do think there’s a deeper component to it that they do not acknowledge.

    They want to feel good about themselves, which at the core is not unreasonable, but they’ve built up this whole misogynistic mythology where they need a conventionally attractive woman - mind, body, and soul, in order to feel safe and happy.

    But I’m convinced that even if they somehow stumbled into this unlikely relationship they would still be miserable.

        Yes that’s very wise. They’ve already shown you that they feel they might “deserve” a certain type of affection, so who knows what they feel entitled to.

        Other men at these social settings also need to take a more active role in 1) detecting, and 2) deterring, incel adjacent behaviour.
