>Study on 100 incels in therapy determined it doesn't work on them.>Among incels reporting therapy experiences, 70.8% reported negative outcomes and 7.9% reported satisfaction. None of those forced into therapy (25.8%) reported positive outcomes. Thematic analysis revealed barriers to engagement: (1) “blackpill” ideology attributing sexual/romantic deprivation to immutable factors; (2) conspiracy theories framing therapy as designed to sedate and control; (3) view of therapy as female-biased and hostile to men; (4) practical concerns including cost, privacy, and hospitalization.Of course this science doesn't help anyone with anything except by coincidence (a few people are lonely and just want to talk to someone) but the data is especially clear in this case.Science is starting to remind me of dianetics, where if the magic tin cans don't cure you of your ailments, then unprovable little alien spirits stuck to your skin is automatically the problem. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10503307.2025.2600546#abstract
>>16930621By the sound of it they are getting their data from an incel forum. I kind of feel like that's not very scientific. I would qualify as an incel by their criteria but I don't engage with those communities and am fairly optimistic. They kind of make it sound like if you're an incel you should be on a terror watchlist and need urgent mental health intervention. I have had bad experiences with female psychologists though so I can agree with the incel people on that, I've seen 4 female ones and one male one. The female ones seemed very disinterested in helping me, one even thought I was hitting on her for some reason even though she was like 20 years older than me. Otherwise, I know the problem is me and not the women generally. I don't really blame women if I'm not that appealing.
