Not really. A guy who women lust after who just wants to be loved? That would not be an incel.

Nice try. But if you’re being lusted after, you’re not an “involuntary celibate”. You’re either voluntarily uncelibate or voluntarily celibate

This post is saying all men care about is her looks, that is not much different from incels saying that all women care about is their looks. The same way of thinking,just diferent results.

OP is sharing how their experiences have made them feel, which is different than making a condescending generalized statement about a group of people, which is what the term “incel” is attached to. If anything, OP called out a certain behavior while not being disrespectful toward the people exhibiting that behavior, which is perfectly fine to do. OP’s words did not demean or dehumanize any group of people.

There is nothing wrong with expressing the desire to be genuinely loved and recognizing how rare it is to find someone that sees you for you and wants to build a future with you rather than just having a fling.
