| Jul 17, 2019 at 17:40 | comment | added | B. Goddard | @SConroy I thought the connotation was that she had given up on sex. She's only not interested because it's been too rare and frustrating...? The incel types seem to share this trait. | |

| Jul 15, 2019 at 19:02 | comment | added | Mitch | 1) 'incel' is a new term (just like dried fish woman) and was created by a group of males. Sure, women could use it but it is primarily associated with males (and the people who invented it intended it for themselves, males). 2) the non-defininng but associated activities the OP gave in the list don't seem associated with 'incels'. 3) I think that yes, incel and dried fish woman have a lot in common, but the gender association is a big difference. I'm surprised at the huge number of downvotes; maybe the gender thing is what gets the downvotes? | |
| Jul 15, 2019 at 18:56 | comment | added | B. Goddard | @Mitch I don't agree that incels are male. One of my female friends in high school had a saying, "Given two unmarriables in the world, they will eventually find each other." I don't get all the downvotes, especially with no comment. It was an honest answer to the question and it seems like the right word. | |
| Jul 15, 2019 at 18:48 | comment | added | Mitch | Maybe you're suggesting these 'incels' (who are by definition male) should have a sort of speed dating with the dried-fish women? | |
