Summary of "Мальчики, которых скипают девочки ;("
Overview
The video presents an in-depth, often satirical exploration of the “incel” (involuntary celibate) subculture, its beliefs, and social dynamics. It critically examines the incel worldview, highlighting key points about their ideology, lifestyle insights, and social observations.
Definition and Ideology of Incels
-
Who are Incels? Incels are men who want sex but receive none, viewing this as a systemic deprivation caused by women’s selective mating choices.
-
Core Beliefs:
- Sexual access is seen as a limited resource controlled by women, creating a surplus of men who remain involuntarily celibate.
- Physical appearance—especially facial features and height—is considered the primary determinant of sexual attractiveness.
- Other factors such as money, social status, and style are viewed as secondary and unable to compensate for lack of good looks.
Appearance and Attractiveness
- Incels emphasize specific facial features as key to attractiveness, including a strong jawline, eye shape, and nose.
- Height acts as a multiplier of attractiveness; being below average height significantly reduces chances.
- Gym workouts and muscle-building tend to benefit already attractive men more than unattractive ones.
- Beauty is viewed as largely objective and measurable by common facial feature preferences.
- Plastic surgery and cosmetology can dramatically improve appearance if one has the financial means.
Social and Sexual Dynamics
- Women’s choice is believed to heavily favor the top 10% of men, often referred to as “Chads,” who receive most sexual attention.
- Average or unattractive men (incels) are left with little to no sexual opportunities.
- Incels reject the idea of paying for sex, wanting it “for free” as an entitlement.
- Online dating sites amplify appearance-based selection, making it harder for average men to get matches.
- Real-life approaches (street, parties) are often ineffective or risky; meeting through mutual acquaintances is recommended as less stressful and more successful.
Psychological and Social Observations
- Incels often develop narcissistic, egocentric, and misogynistic attitudes.
- Some create imaginary companions (tulpas) to cope with loneliness.
- The movement is divided into subgroups:
- Those focusing on self-improvement
- Those embracing radical political ideas
- Those who are deeply despairing or violent
- The video condemns radical incel ideologies, especially those promoting hatred or violence against women.
Advice and Recommendations
- Self-development and learning new skills (e.g., IT professions) are encouraged as more practical and fulfilling than focusing solely on sexual frustration.
- Presentation matters: improving photos and personal grooming can increase chances on dating platforms.
- Recognize the unfairness of social and sexual hierarchies but focus on what can be controlled—personal growth and social skills.
- Physical attractiveness helps but is not the sole factor in relationships; charisma, humor, talent, and money also play important roles.
- Relationships often form around unique individual traits beyond appearance.
Critique of Incel Theory
- The video points out oversimplifications and exaggerations in incel beliefs.
- It challenges the notion that women have it easier, showing women also have high standards and face challenges.
- The idea that beauty is entirely subjective is refuted with references to scientific studies on facial attractiveness.
- Incels’ rejection of social and emotional skills limits their chances more than looks alone.
Notable Mentions
- “Chads” as archetypal attractive men.
- Cosmetic procedures such as braces, veneers, nose jobs, and hair restoration.
- An example of a handsome criminal who gained celebrity and romantic success.
- Promotion of Skill Factory’s IT specialist course as a practical self-improvement path.
- References to incel subcultures (red, blue, black) and their differing attitudes.
Summary
