Why do almost all 'incels' blame their situation on looks?

You're talking about the kinds of distances for which even the simplest electromagnetic signal, from a source as small as some organ of the human body, definitely would require something like an amplifier and an antenna. And the amplifier would have to be big and powerful enough to be quite obvious -- unless there's something else in the natural world serving as a natural equivalent of cell phone towers, but that would need to be big and powerful enough to be quite obvious too.
They would need to be at least around 1 GHz, in order for the wavelength to be short enough not to require an antenna large enough to be highly visible.

It is possible to build radio transmitters in the nanoscale: Nano transmitter
How powerful could such a tiny transmitter be, though?

Also, creating a transmitter for the typical FM band around 100MHz that can reach a few kilometers could be done by an amateur using only a small 9v battery and a couple of centimeters of normal wire as an antenna: https://www.instructables.com/id/The-Ul ... ansmitter/
Going from a few kilometers to 300 km is only a factor 100 or so. Note that transmitters use a dB-scale which is logarithmic. If I remember it correctly doubling the signal results in a 6dB increase. Here we are talking about 7 (2^7 = 128) doublings or 43dB. If the detector was 43dB more sensitive, then the above device would work over the distance of 300km. In practice, the receiver would be flooded by noise, but by use of smart coding, it could still detect the signal.
I once was a radio amateur, and it certainly is possible to use only a small wire as an antenna for the 27MHz band as well. It might not be optimal, and you might damage the transmitter, but it certainly works.

Indeed, for the signal to be able to travel up to 300 km, it would probably need to be in the shortwave frequency range (3 to 30 MHz), so it can bounce down from the ionosphere -- a detail I forgot about when writing my previous post.

IOW, I don't think it is impossible for evolution to figure out a solution that could transmit (and receive) electromagnetic signals a few 100kms at the nanoscale in a few 100s million years or more.
I also wonder why many ESP experiments use electromagnetically shielded rooms during their experiments? What exactly are they afraid of?
There is so much electrosmog right now so this is a daunting task. Would have been much easier to do before we had some much electronics and radio transmitters. Also, as anybody that has experimented with radios know, there is a lot of background noise present, and this was the case before much of the modern electronics and cellphones came into use as well.

Scientists have not been able to decode them, but at least there's no question that these signals exist. On the other hand, the alleged signals you're talking about, from human beings, have never been detected by scientists at all, as far as I'm aware.

Even with background noise, it should be possible for an experimenter to detect, at short range, these hypothetical natural radio transmitters in the human body. So it's still surprising that these things have not been found yet, given the many investigations into electrical activity of the human nervous system.

Maybe a bit above too, but it has to be in the MHz area at least.
Also, my original perception was that it only worked up to 200 km, and I think the longer distance is based on extensive training & use.

I can see several problems with detecting them. For one, I suspect they are only active when transmitting something, and few people probably use them. Even the direction sense is likely dependent on some kind of polls being sent out. If you just measure human brain activity in a scanner on some NT, the chance of something being sent this way would be minimal. It's a bit like click sounds from whales. They are only sent when whales want to communicate something. To have these things turned on all the time would waste lots of energy.
You could compare it to human talking to. Many people, although not all, only talk when they have something interesting to talk about.

I see your points here.
But it would be great if you yourself could devise some objective way to detect the RF signals that you believe yourself to be capable of emitting. Given your background in amateur radio, hopefully you'll be able to find a way to do this.
Until the existence of these signals can be objectively demonstrated, it's not reasonable to expect the rest of us to devote time and energy to learning how to send them.

What work? Changing your looks is a drawn-out process, not to mention expensive!I found that out when I went in for a plastic surgery consultation, at age 21. I was inspired to do so by a waitress, when she told her colleague that I had creepy eyes. By contrast, my friend at the time had four friends-with-benefits and many hookups with the girls he met. So I knew that in order to have even 1/10th of his success, I'd have to go under the knife. I found a plastic surgeon, and called him.
The doctor took a picture of me, and used a computer program to show what my new face will look like. Unfortunately, he also told me that it'll cost $10,000 and require 6 weeks of aftercare. I had neither. He must have seen how upset I looked, because he was kind enough to waive his usual $50 consultation fee.
I aged into my looks by age 27 or 28, because girls actually started showing interest in me somewhat regularly. Today, I still look nice, but I'm also old. Time will tell if I'll still look good 10 years from now. Maybe, maybe not. Only I don't care at this point, because my sex drive today is nonexistent. Aging + Effexor does that to you. So without a desire to attract women, good looks are mostly redundant.

He's moron tho that he obsessively fixated on the attention of White women, he could SO easily get a lot of attention from Asian or African women or any other non-white ethnicity, a mixed white-asian in Asian communities is considered very attractive.
If I relied on Caucasian women, I would have remained a kissless virgin.
Yes most white women won't give attention to a non-white man, I did this experiment myself on dating apps and on a large scale, it's strikingly true. (Mona, if you are curious of what I am talking about: viewtopic.php?t=275336).

What is one supposed to do if they fare better romantically with minority women but have racist family?

Marry the girl and forget the family.And you'll be much happier than the other way around!

It isn't about LOOKS at all. These types of people are always compaining about how the better looking people get everything they seem to want, but It comes down to attitude every time. If someone is always bitter, jealous, and otherwise not happy with themselves, how can they expect anyone else to be happy with them?
While everyone is entitled to feel bad and vent from time to time...If it becomes a continual theme, people with be turned off by it and eventually tune it (and them) out.

It runs even deeper... it's very easy to turn a blind eye at how many pretty people actually use good social skills and other talents to get what they want and how they aren't spared betrayal, illness and misfortune any more than others.
Just in my experience, people hide bitterness and envy very poorly (even NTs) while usually thinking they do a great job...

There's probably some truth in it.
These days if you are not handsome in looks and if you don't have a lot of money and if you're not famous chances are you are going to have a hard time to get a good-looking girlfriend.
My experience in life tells me that:
1. Pretty girls are attracted to handsome looks
2. Pretty girls are attracted to men who make a lot of money
3. Pretty girls are attracted to fame and social status.
So if you don't have any of these things then you're going to have a hard time to get a good-looking girl.

Not just the "pretty girls", life tells me that even most of the average-looking and even ugly women want handsome guys.

Ok. But what if, other than that, your family will do practically anything for you?

If you have family like that, consider yourself lucky...unless of course, "do anything for you" means they are enablers

Hmm, I wonder if there's a way to implement a charity service. That is, free or discounted plastic surgeries for ugly men, like me before age 27. (It'll be funded somehow; ignore the details for now.) It probably won't be that expensive. Most ugly men don't need a lot of facial changes to look better: a small nip/tuck around the eyes, a minor rhinoplasty, a mouth adjustment to make a better smile, etc. (In my own case, my eyes were my ugliest feature, so that's where I planned my surgery to take place.) But even these small adjustments, that are impossible to do non-surgically, will make a HUGE difference in the quality of life to those men. It ranges from more frequent dates to higher wages at work, all thanks to better looks.
If this charity system can be implemented and enough men use it, Incels will cease to exist in one generation. Red Pill won't disappear, but it'll become less popular; fewer men will turn to it to compensate for their bad looks. MGTOW will probably continue to exist at today's rates, due to the legal system heavily favoring women in much of the Western world.
