ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Incel

Incel stands for involuntary celibate. It is a term that describes someone who has been unable to find a romantic or sexual partner, despite wanting one. This can be due to a variety of reasons. In some cases, an incel might feel that they don't meet the expectations of the people around them, or they might be too shy to talk to potential partners. In other cases, an incel might have health issues or be physically unattractive. All incels share the same basic feeling of loneliness and frustration.
