In my experience through many media depictions and age groups discussed, there seems to be four major types of incels... What do you think?

I've aggregated my thoughts and put them here. There are obviously some overlapping of these groups, but I've identified some common ways of thinking and categorized the different types of incels. Here they are:<br><br>**Lonely Incel**: There seems to be a great deal of lonely incels, which are people that blame 2nd/3rd world countries, company greed, online dating, social media, and various other reasons for their lack of access to something as basic as human connection. These people tend to have a sense of self worth, but a lack of self confidence, and many of them seem to be the most well adjusted. Some say they'd be happy with just a friend, while some only want romantic friends. Lonelies usually believe they are entitled to some level of companionship, but also believe that this is impossible to achieve for reasons like the ones listed above.<br><br>**Incel For Life (IFL)**: One of the most well known types of incel, the IFLs. They believe they are entitled to sex. And by entitled I mean they literally believe we should have the freedom to fuck the people we want to. They believe that women have a right to choose partners while men have the burden of impressing them, and that this has created a sexual market in which women, who are attracted to high quality men (Chads, Tyrone, whatever) and men who are attracted to whatever women essentially create an imbalance. It can be argued that there's some overlap with lonelies here, but a big difference is the IFLs usually don't have any concerns with solo sex acts: they are specifically looking for sex with other people. They believe they are entitled to this, but also believe it is impossible for them to acquire because they have a physical or otherwise "unattractive" appearance. They believe that a solution can be worked towards, but that it is not currently achievable in this capitalist society.<br><br>**Suicel**: The suicels. Many of these people also identify as IFLs, but others as lonelies. They see the situation, usually agree with the IFL's assessment, but believe that there can be no solution to this problem. They are usually pretty deep into the pit of despair, and have lost hope... many have even taken their own lives.<br><br>**Truecels**: The truecels are those who blame their own biology or lack of intelligence for being unable to find a mate. They usually believe that they are not entitled to anything, and that their lack of relationship is the fault of their own biology or lack of intelligence. They usually don't believe a solution is possible, but most seem to believe society has no burden in fixing this issue, and that it should just be the truecel's problem.<br><br>Now, I mentioned some overlap. I believe that there is overlap between lonelies and IFLs in that almost everyone wants to have sex. I believe there is overlap in the practicality of truecels and suicels in that they both believe that there is no solution. I see great overlap between suicels and the other three groups in that almost anyone can lose hope at times.<br><br>What do you believe? Do these categories seem to make sense to you? Do you identify with any of these? Do you fit partially into one of these but not entirely? Let me know your thoughts. I'm interested to see how the community thinks about my observations.
