    Skim the comments in Female Dating Strategy on Reddit and you’ll find a lot of them.

    The users using terms like ‘pickme’ for women and ‘scrotes’ for men. Misandry in various forms. Often you’ll see a lot of TERF language or open transphobia and disdain for people who are in relationships, etc.

    Like with incels there’s the ‘high value man/woman’ fantasy that’s an amalgamation of perfect traits that the various people in their life have failed to meet and the ‘It’s other people’s fault for not meeting my standards that’s why I’m single and not my own toxic behavior and actions’ coping mechanism.

    They have their own private forums and communities which are a bit more out there if you can get past the gatekeepers and mods.
