we have to remember this show is being told per the eyes of Ted Mosby, so may not be unbiased accounts of the people.
Thoughs on this thought on the show?
Incel?
Incel is a term closely associated with an online subculture of people who define themselves as unable to get a romantic or sexual partner despite desiring one.
I don’t think Barney has any problem with attracting or going into a relationship with the people he is in favor of partaking in a sexually manner with.
More of a narcissist with anti-feminist tendencies, from watching show, seems by the end he is less of both?

That shit works with Walter White, since that character is shown to be a monster (even though people even didn’t figure that out and started hating Skyler). Ted is shown as a goofball, but not fundamentally wrong. And in general, the viewer never gets the feeling that people are depicted in a distorted manner (except if it’s for a joke).
Incel is the closest thing I could think of in the moment. He is not an incel in the show but exhibits much of the incel’s worldview where he only draws his self-worth from his sexual “conquests” and highly objectifies women. Yes, it’s exaggerated and clearly shown for laughs, but he’s always shown as being a bit too awesome and as if his way of life is worth striving towards.
Barney is a sex-pest and ideologically way too close to incels.
