>>211487072>how does this not lead to a massive incel population?you're mixing up the fundamentalist polygamists with the mainstream lds church. they have two different systems for this.
the fundie splinter groups that still practice polygamy do create incels. they're called the "lost boys." to keep the wife-to-husband ratio high for the old patriarchs, they literally kick out their teenage sons. they're exiled and treated with zero respect because they're competition.
in the mainstream church, which dropped polygamy, the two-year missions and door knockings are rites of passage that weeds out the weak. the guys who complete it prove their dedication and are considered high-value men. they come back to massive respect and get their pick of the women. the ones who don't go or fail out are the ones who struggle.
