    "Involuntary single" means you'd like to be in a relationship but haven't yet met the right person. But you're still trying, you still have hope and you don't blame the rest of humanity for your situation. Being an "incel", which means "involuntary celibate", means you don't want a relationship you just want sex. You don't just want sex with regular women but they have to be super hot and preferably virgins. You also hate women in general and blame everyone else for your inability to be a sex god with a haram. You join online clubs dedicated to this lifestyle and sometimes you go too far and actually hurt people because you believe your frustration gives you that right. 

    So these are very different scenarios.

    From THESAURUS. COM

    "Involuntary celibacy" .  "Incel" is defined as an internet subculture of men who blame women for the fact they are not having sex. 

    "Involuntary single" is not  gender designated. It also is not just sexually designated and can include mental and emotional unease on a larger social scale that is not centered on resentment for not getting sex

    I guess incel is usually  a male who is  just someone bitter and hateful over women. Eh honestly any guy can have sex if they pay a prostitute or call girl

    incels tend to blame others for their lack of success. Some of it is truthful, but most of it is false. Involuntary singles, are usually single for another reason.

    single people still have sex even though they aren't married. they don't feel that they are "owed" a marriage even if they want to be married. "involuntary celibates" seem to think women owe them sex and they are quite hateful towards women
