In this episode, I spoke with William Costello. William recently wrote one of the first academic papers discussing the psychology of incels. He is currently a PhD student at the University of Texas at Austin where he’s a member of Dr. David Buss's Evolutionary Psychology lab.

Together we discussed hypergamy, the characteristics of the average incel, the psychology of incels, causes for the increase in female infidelity, the black pill worldview, and much more. Thanks for tuning in.
