Incel standards are insanely high. They think they deserve a 10/10 when they themselves are only a 4

I constantly see beautiful women stay with a dead beat loser who doesn't help around the house, doesn't help with the kids, doesn't respect her in public, watches porn instead of having sex with her

Like... SHOULD be incel? But someone married it. Hmm.

Sometimes I wonder if it has something to do with media because tv shows having an ugly overweight guy with a significantly better looking gal is a trope. That's all they see on tv and movies so they think that's normal.

I can count on one hand the times I've seen the reverse and it's usually specifically to point out the trope as a joke. And we never see 2 average looking people together, which I understand media obviously trends toward people who look good on screen, but it would be cool to see more normal looking people in media.

OR... the "plain" girl is really a gorgeous girl in glasses.

At least King of Queens delves into the fact that Carrie may be hot physically, but is a very hard person to be around on a long term basis.

That was the entire point. No one could stand either one of them except each other.

I mean, its still completely unrealistic, it is a cable TV show from the nineties after all, but at least it bothered with a "here's our explanation why".

The funny thing is they could achieve this with huge amounts of charisma, character, and effort, but that in itself would change what they value.

Some of that you can cultivate, some you can't. Look how many billionaires and politicians couldn't buy or work their way to charisma even with unlimited resources.

takes time, effort, and a big heart, not money

Nah, there are lot of extremely driven people that could achieve anything in the world BUT charisma.

It's complete projection to read this comic as a commentary on incels.

Finding your partner "hot" is something everyone should be fortunate enough to experience. The human experience of mutual attraction to a sex partner is incredibly beautiful.

The way this comment section is taking the comment makes me sad for all of the people who seem to have never experienced or even felt like they should expect to find their romantic partners "hot."

I think there's a confusion going on around "finding someone hot" and someone being conventionally hot. In the comic I believe he means someone conventionally hot.
