Pauper


A '''pauper''' is someone who relies on government welfare or who does not make enough to cover basic needs (food, clothing, shelter), depending on who you ask.. 

Many [[incels]] in [[incel forums]] relay stories of homelessness or poverty. It is likely many incels are [[NEET]]s, homeless, or otherwise individually poor. 
==Relationship to inceldom==
{{See also|[[Poorcel]]}}
[[Hypergamy|Women do not show sexual interest in paupers]] largely. A side-effect of this is that women do not house [[men]], but men generally house [[women]], and thus pauperdom is mostly a male issue. What is certain is that more men are extreme paupers than women and [[inceldom]] is the main cause of the gender imbalance in pauperdom.
==Criticism of definition==
There is debate whether or not to call adult [[NEET]]s, welfare recipients, or really most of the American non-homeless-poor as paupers. The argument is that a better term might be [[grifter]], as these groups typically have all their ''basic'' or immediate needs met. However, NEETs can become paupers through homelessness easily after the death of their parents in the lack of a trust fund or job/social ability.
