[Last paragraph is the TL;DR explanation/advice]

Had always suspected my 1st cousin could be an Incel in the making. He exhibited certain behavioural traits of this type of persona mentioned in the news on this matter i found troubling. Feeling I was the only person who'd call on him to do things, many moons ago, when i was part of a billiard league, I decided to invite him to join as an effort to get him more socialized other than only hanging out with me. Him and I are total polar opposites, this was made evident over time, as he started acting out amongst other pool league members, and they would ask me, "are you sure you're both related?"

The pandemic didn't help his situation much, because he lives with his parents (age 46), he's an only child, his mother has basically turned him into a Mr. Belvedere, he hasn't lived on his own (other than university) I don't think he has a job, i've NEVER seen him with a girlfriend nor on a date, however has told me stories which are always highly embellished.

There were many times while hanging out with him, I could have called out all his B.S., but I know in doing that, it would set him off, so I tried to be an ear, and listen to him and tailoring replies and conversations in an epistemological way. Ironically, he was raised an atheist, but converted into a 'believer.' (long story about that)

From my observations, I could tell how he talked, the subtext of what he was saying, was that he wanted/strived to be independent, but had little to no foundation or history growing up having a single job.

I'm no expert or psychologist, but my only advice is if you feel or sense someone exhibits these incel-esque behaviors, getting them to talk, hearing them out, conversing in a non-confrontational way helps them alleviate anything they have bottled up inside. If they have no person to confine in, no hobbies, or outlets, i can only imagine these frustrations may compound over time, expressed in unhealthy ways or dangerous avenues.

Precisely why prostitution should be legal.
Sexually frustrated men are dangerous, and many will not get laid any other way, they just don't have the personality for it.
In a few years Chinese men will be terrifying China because the one couple one child rule that had Chinese women aborting their daughters in hopes they might later have what's more valuable in their minds a boy child.
That means that China is going to be full of horny men with no women to choose from, and as we've seen that's bad news for everyone else in their society.

would a hooker be cheaper and more effective than therapy?!!
