As novaseeker already pointed out in the comments section, he's failing to factor in the costs of incel's "choices," which are too high in many cases, hence why they're incel. He also fails to factor in things like asperger's syndrome that may make a man nearly incapable of interesting a woman sexually.
I think the problem is more one of difficulty than anything else. Sure, an incel could get into a relationship - if they spent their entire waking hours for months on end trying, and facing utter humiliation many times over in the process. Problem is, most people don't have that much time on their hands. The fact is, things are just too costly for incels, while non-cels have a much easier time moving in and out of relationships.
No offense to Anakin, he's a great MRA (and UWT is more of a "dickhead" than he could ever be), but sometimes his religion causes him to make extremely unrealistic recommendations. He's of the camp that believes celibate people should not have sex before marriage, because it's god's will, ignoring various practical and emotional reasons why that's not such a good idea. Of course, today's culture has gone too far off in the other direction, but this is still a limited viewpoint to have.
Good post OA, and even though I am a Catholic (although I am not overly religious), I have to strongly disagree with Anakin's assertion that "true incels don't exist", what a load of bullshit!!
I would have got married at 18, if I met the right girl, but getting married/or into a relationship is a bit hard when women are always telling me to fuck off, and if "true incels" don't exist, then how do explain both this site and the incel board??
And Anakin completely lost me when he mentioned that men learn "PUA/Seduction game" as a solution to incel, more bullshit becaue PUA is a fraud and scam, and only works for good looking men who have already been successful with women before, not some poor ugly/average looking incel who has had no luck with women. And if Anakin is advocating celibacy before marriage, then he is contradcting himself, because PUA is all about seducing and fucking women as quickly as possible, so that you can move on to the next slut to do the same thing.
In an ideal world, I think most of us here would have loved to have met a decent woman early in our lives, who we could settle down with, the problem is truly decent women are becoming an endangered species, and even the so called "easy sluts" are only interested in 20% of the men, so to suggest that "true incels don't exist" is absolute rubbish.
