    it is common, but don't think it is necessary. If you'd only have one or two very short relations, or if you're spending years on end looking for a relation, I think that qualifies.

    You could say there are degrees of inceldom. For example I would say a guy that pays a prostitute not for sex but for companionship and chatting with her, for a made-up fake relation, is an incel. Though we could argue about it, I think it fits the definition. This is the kind of incel phenomena you could easily see in mainstream media, without the media asking or emphasizing why is this wealthy dude(as I've often seen it portrayed as wealthy unattractive dudes) engaging in such behavior. Why does he have to resort to that? Mainstream media avoids going into the causes and the reason such a need may emerge.

    Celibate is someone who's not currently having sex (whether voluntarily or involuntarily), not someone who's a virgin.
