I just watched this little video on virgins on youtube:


Quite fascinating how some of them are normal looking and somehow by poor social skills they are thwarted from ever finding a reciprocating woman.

Does anyone think its autism or are they just a little strange?

I've seen similar or these exact types of guys from my 4chan stints (I guess being able to relate to this thread makes that time as productive as it will ever seem) and if this isn't autism then I don't know what is (maybe I don't?).

Plenty of these guys have a real self absorbed smugness, mixed with other socially awful qualities, that it had to be down to some social disorder. It's truly unnatural to be aware of your various shortcomings yet also feel oddly superior in yourself. The first guy with the long black hair is the biggest example. I wouldn't even say he's ugly enough to be incel, but possibly he expects a 7+ for himself, and as soon as he starts talking he gives off the most unnerving vibe to himself that he'd have to be 8+ himself to land a decent looking girl with probably similar issues.

Anyway from seeing various threads on these cringe guys pretty much everyone constantly writes how it's autism, Johnson's probably literally the only time I've seen someone innocently question otherwise.

So because of this I've never considered otherwise, but if someone with more knowledge of what's "on the spectrum" could give better than my vague reasons as to why they'd be diagnosed with it, that'd be interesting.

My first thought was autism as well but I was open minded for another explanation.

I definitely think they feel superior because some of them have a clear high IQ and its made them smug. They don't have social skills or looks so they cling on to the one good thing they have.

Why would they admit that?

For a man, seriously, that's a strange thing to admit. Hello, I'm a virgin.

I lost mine rather late (19). But when I did, I was having sex five times a day. And I was ashamed of being a virgin when I was 18.

That whole documentary is pretty interesting.

A few of the guys are pretty *** ugly (e.g., the one guy (one of the more """normal""" ones) was like a diffusing Norwood 3 with a recessed chin and whatnot) but their lack of social awareness is the biggest factor at play. They all dress like they're in the f*****g early 2000s, reek of low self esteem, and seem to have some pretty laughable views on women. I think a lot of them could easily have girlfriends if they had a more """"positive"""""" attitude and have more realistic standards for themselves (e.g., not going for some girl that is like a "7").

Sure, a guy who is a solid 8 but has low self esteem/depression may get really attractive girl to sleep with him, but I doubt she would want to ever be in a "real" relationship with him. No one wants to be around someone who is always down and out.

Why autism? Lol its become the new thing to call basement dwellers. Autism isnt being a shut in

And i agree, a lot of these incels ARE smart, its just theyre maladjusted.

The guy with a fedora and a moustache is so creepy I can't even play the video.

I agree.

The norwood three guy I could see with a plain jane type who isn't beautiful but also isn't ugly.

Side note: Its very hard to define the difference between very poor social skills and autism.

lol at anyone who thinks these guys are just "basement dwellers" or not mentally ill. Full blown autists of the highest order.

None of them even look that bad. Most look not much better or worse than the averaged married guy.

Yep.


Every baldite who has seen the movie remembers what happens next in this scene.



In the end, who is legitimately ugly to the point that they just can't solve their situation at all?

Like someone who would be short, ugly, balding with a deformed head that no plastic surgery could ever fix?

We can speculate that it would be rare to non-existent since legit ugly genes just wouldn't be passed down.

We can speculate that most guys among the sluthate 'it's all ogre' crowd are just average and just suffer from deep psychological problems that could be fixed if only they admitted that maybe they have a problem.
I got something else from the film edge of seventeen. It was almost saying its okay to be uncool like the woody harleson character because he's the one with the steady job, baby, and nice wife.

I have an example from my own life where a woman in her 30's who was lower than me on the looks scale and offered me an apartment, at the condition that I stayed with her of course. She clearly had borderline personality disorder as she would call me every evening to tell me that she was afraid I would leave her while uncontrollably crying,

When was this, and why are we only hearing about it now?

Dude with the long hair in the video is the most stereotypical Lookism poster ever. All the plastic surgery in the world isn't going to fix his sh*t personality.
