And like incels, they are def not having sex. Do you have a better simile/metaphor for batshit prolifers? If so, leave it in the comments.

    They partly wanted to be validated by a woman, but they really want to be validated by a woman that their guy friends think of as attractive. Something about being robbed of "manhood".

      I don't really think that's true. In fact almost all the men I know don't even introduce their girlfriends to their guy friends, and there's a documented tendency for men who get in an LTR with a woman to withdraw from their male friendships altogether. It's definitely much more about wanting women's approval than wanting other men's approval.
