I’ll be honest, being a 5’1 guy in the US in the 2000’s was not the best experience and I’m sure I would have likely become an incel under the right circumstance. It’s been a lot better since coming back to Guatemala where i’m still below average but not by nearly as much.
I’m a little sympathetic to shorter incels because it isn’t easy being a short man and many will find it socially acceptable to say nasty shit to your face. Look at how people respond to Ben Shapiro.
It’s not even incels either. The trans male subreddit is full of them complaining about how it sucks being a short man because they don’t feel like “real men.”
Also the “I only date men 6 feet and over” types exist and they tend to be shorter women in the 16-25 age range. That’s who I heard it from the most and they’d make sure I knew that even when I wasn’t showing any interest in them.
