This is mostly wrong and bad advice. Though there is very little actual advice here.

The thing is, incels are substantially correct about their — and most men’s — disadvantages in the dating market. The majority of women really do attempt to date the top 10% of men nearly-exclusively, and unhappily settle for less when they turn out not to be at that tier themselves. Men really do risk life-altering consequences for making even a polite approach. I could go on. But suffice it to say, incels diagnose their own and society’s problems fairly accurately. Also, Noah’s data in his piece is very misleading, and designed to be so. Some of it just plain wrong.

We’ll ignore that for now. However, along with the incels being correct about their problems their noxious beliefs about what they should do in response follow. And those are farcically bad. Their suggested remedies will not help them, society, or anyone. It will only further embitter them and cause yet more ostracism.

Another impediment to proceptivity is the fear of rejection. In American culture, men are expected to take the lead romantically, and this means they’ll often end up getting rejected. A lot of guys are so scared of this rejection that they dread even trying to date in the first place.

The risk of nuclear rejection now is too high. Many women go ape on you just for asking them out these days. No guy wants their entire life destroyed because they asked some overentitled prick of a woman out for coffee and she ruins their life. And that is a real risk now.

Noah’s “advice” is non-advice, like nearly all such monitions from those who are reasonably successful romantically. What paltry guidance there is, it will not aid you, and will only cause more women to disdain you. Avoid this nonsense. It’s no better than dating advice from a woman, which is always useless for men.
