Are Machismic men and incels more likely to be gay and in denial?

For a little while, I lurked the incel community. I noticed that while all of them were angry at women for not getting laid, their actions and talk was more about...

get this...

getting the approval of their fellow men instead of women.

Similarly, a lot of these guys that try to appear as masculine as they can, the 'machismo' aspect seems to bug women more than intrigue them.

Again...

they're acting more to get the approval of their fellow men instead of women.

You would think that a straight man would view other men as competition, and would focus more on getting the approval of women than the approval of 'the bros'. I mean, if you're straight, there's only one group you're going to instinctively try to sleep with, and therefore only one group you need to worry about getting the approval of.

So... all the women-hating incels and hyper-machismo guys... could it be they really are all just bi or gay and in denial?

I think so, yes.

Probably not, no.

I'm just here for the comments.

I’ve visited the incel sites and browsed a bit. Most of them are actually diagnosed with aspergers or autism and are socially restated, so there’s nothing they can really do about it.

I think it's more likely they never had a good father figure so they seek male approval from their peers.

I wouldn't say all of them, but sort of, yes.

The jocks that are hypermasculine, act that way because women like it.

Women in general are attracted to guys that display traits associated with 'toxic masculinity'

It's possible.
