Roy Baumeister

Roy F. Baumeister (/ˈbaʊmaɪstər/; born May 16, 1953) is a social psychologist best known in the incelosphere for being the virtual academic 'founder' of sexual economics theory, or SET.https://www.researchgate.net/publication/317866484_Myths_of_Sexual_Economics_Theory_Implications_for_Gender_Equality He has worked on various topics relevant for inceldom, such as sexuality, sex differences and social exclusion.
In one survey study he concluded belongingness is a fundamental need.https://doi.org/10.1037/0033-2909.117.3.497 In another one, he concluded men have higher libido.Baumeister, Catanese, and Vohs, "Baumeister R, Catanese KR, Vohs KD. 2001. Is There a Gender Difference in Strength of Sex Drive? Theoretical Views, Conceptual Distinctions, and a Review of Relevant Evidence. [FullText] He is author of the book Is There Anything Good About Men?. Baumeister is married to social psychologist Dianne Tice who is also coauthor of some of his publications.https://www.psychologicalscience.org/news/everything-is-crumbling.html
He seems to have never explicitly addressed inceldom or the men's movement, however Incel Wiki borrows a lot from his writings, observations and summaries. We also incidentally reach a lot of the same conclusions.
== Research ==
Baumeister has written about female gossip,https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022103117304195 the pussy cartel (not in those words),https://assets.csom.umn.edu/assets/71503.pdf as well as about human self-regulation being limited.Baumeister, R. F., Bratslavsky, E., Muraven, M., & Tice, D. M. (1998). Ego depletion: Is the active self a limited resource? Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 74(5), 1252-1265. He promotes the notion that throughout history men reproduced less than half as often as women.https://psy.fsu.edu/~baumeisterticelab/goodaboutmen.htm
==Blackpill conflict==
Although a lot of Baumeister's observations are cited by blackpillers, Roy concluded that female sexual desire is malleable by society and in short time-frames, and that females have a more malleable erotic plasticity than males,https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10825779https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10825779/ contrary to the core assumption many blackpillers hold. He suggests that the malleability makes women suited for sexual-cultural progress. Contrary also to the blackpill philosophy, he suggests that men's sexuality is more superficial and physically oriented than women. 
Baumeister offered various possible explanations for this phenomenon with the second explanation being his preferred one:https://blog.kareldonk.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Gender_and_Erotic_Plasticity__Sociocultural_Influences_on_the_Sex_Drive.pdf
# The gender difference in physical strength and (political) power may have selected female sexuality to be flexible so as to accommodate to the men, though he leaves open whether it is the greater overall conformity in women being instantiated in sexual conformity or vice-versa.
# A weaker sex drive may imply a greater plasticity, whereas strong and powerful drives are less prone to socializing and civilizing influences. 
# Over the course of courtship, women spontaneously switch from a coy deferral of sex to admitting of it. This may require a general readiness to change, which may also give rise to a greater plasticity.
Different from Baumeister's interpretation, and more aligned with the blackpill, this line of research can also be understood to imply that women are highly compatible with enforced monogamy and arranged marriage, but it also suggests female coyness is not necessarily choosiness which does contradict some assumptions held in the blackpillosphere.

In his biography he said his parent's harsh and confusing upbringing taught him curiosity and epistemic humility:
