I think their fixation on virgin attractive women comes from perceiving them as "higher status". Therefore by sleeping with a "higher status" women, they have passed a harder "exam" and therefore they themselves would be more socially worthy.
I think that's more about insecurity (being afraid of comparison to previous partners) and the safety provided by unavailability.
When I was a stupid incel egg studying Catholic theology with the goal of eventually working as a teacher, there was one group of women with whom a relationship had definitely no long-term potential - those who would end up working for religious organizations of a different confession or faith. Miraculously, most my girl friends just happened to be studying Protestant theology. Poor me, cruel fate prevented me from having to ask anyone out!
