I think this misses the mark though. The main thesis of incels is basically that regardless of all other factors people can be so horribly ugly that no one in the right mind will ever desire them. Most of them don't fall into that bucket and have other issues going on, but objectively...is that idea wrong? I'd like to see the study address something like indian men under 5'4 (a strong incel demographic) and see how many of them don't have sex.

I take the article to dispute the incel premise that a majority of women only have sex with a minority of men. My impression is that this asymmetry is crucial, because it underwrites the narrative that sexlessness is largely a problem for men and not women; and that women are in some sense blameworthy for this state of affairs. Maybe incels are right about there being a minimum threshold of attractiveness, but that only matters to their sense of aggrievement if the threshold is higher for men than for women.

Yeah it is wrong

Actually the article states that 20% of the men are having 50%-60% of the sex. That's a minority of men having a majority of sex. Different numbers, but not wrong.

Why?
