There is a distinction to be made here though. Strictly speaking, being involuntarily celibate is a shame, and not at all bad.

That being said, the term incel has addition context that isn't strictly it's definition, and that isn't good.

If you are referring to yourself as an incel then there is likely a regressive mindset that goes with it. Most people just call themselves single. Sexual status is a construct, whether it be virgin or "promiscuous". Unlikable men choose incel so that they can blame their lack of sex on the people not giving it to them.
