/u/HyperGhost1 on this was literally so uncalled for?

Gmod's is basically a "No anime, no furries, no fnaf, no fun" circlejerk. TF2 is slightly better, but in-game is much much worse. September 14, 2020 at 11:49PM

/u/AceOfManyYears on Wouldn't it be cool for a homoromantic asexual to wear this?

Very nice. September 14, 2020 at 11:47PM

/u/CakeandDragons on Just scanned my Family Health textbook for LBGTQ+ information and accuracy and sure enough...

Using "transgenders" as a noun instead of an adjective (as in, saying "transgender people") just kinda sounds like an insult, but it also boils down their entire identity to their gender identity and labels them as outsiders. Just like we wouldn't say "the gays" or "the blacks" because it sounds homophobic or racist even when it's not meant that way September 14, 2020 at 11:43PM

/u/Achiquitachaser on Trying to figure out if I lie in the ace spectrum

thank you for your kind words, it really is appreciated. Also the I will definitely dig into the resources you shared, thank you for that too. sometimes I honestly don't know if I have ever felt intense physical attraction before, I mean I've had crushes but I honestly don't think I have ever felt anything on the aforementioned level. There is a part of me that wants to like sex, but it always just feels so alien to me. thank you again for reminding me there are others that feel broken are normal wherever they end up falling on the spectrum.

/u/Acepocryphon on Is there any reason why I should come out as ace?

Brutal honesty is one thing, but as long as it's honesty, it's valuable. September 14, 2020 at 11:42PM

/u/that__one__nerd on I just encountered my first ace erasure!

/u/Anaglyphite on this was literally so uncalled for?

Those "labels" are communication tools of your personal identity, a shortcut, and it means a lot to those who are considered atypical by the majority. You already use labels outside of gender and sexuality, like your race, nationality, your hobbies and interests, wealth status, etc. so how is it suddenly confusing the moment someone talks about their sexual orientation or gender identity? and, like the other person said, those communication tools affect how you're viewed and communicated with September 14, 2020 at 11:41PM

/u/ragtimeholly on Trying to figure out if I lie in the ace spectrum

first off YOU ARE NOT BROKEN! <3 Take a peek at this doc for a basic rundown of asexuality and some descriptions of sexual attraction to see if you've felt it or not. Obviously I can't say whether you're ace/have felt sexual attraction or not, but I can say that many asexuals share the feeling of "being broken" and never feeling that "intense physical attraction" that everyone else seems to feel. I didn't even hear about the term "asexual" until last year at the age of 30 and let me just tell you it changed everything for how I contextualized my past experiences. I had felt a LOT of shame related to not feeling "the thing" others were feeling and I tried so hard to find something "fixable" to blame it on before finally coming to understand that I was just born asexual. Exploring your identity can be super rewarding (it sounds like you are well aware of that genderwise!) and I wish you luck on your journey!! If y...

/u/sadgurlshit on Think my family think I’m gay

you’re not alone! i’m a 24 yo girl and have never dated anyone. any time anyone asks about it i just say “not interested” so apparently that means i’m gay now. it doesn’t bother me that people think i’m gay, it bothers me they can’t take what i’ve said time and time again as truth... IM JUST NOT INTERESTED PERIOD. my parents have dropped hints they think i’m gay and even some of my “friends” have told people i am a lesbian. not to mention all the virgin shaming and other sex related things people always push onto me as a sense of superiority or something. super fun!

As someone who has made rings out of various metals, I thought it was a very fair price. Tungsten is not easy to work with. September 14, 2020 at 11:25PM

How to express wanting to see more "Effort"

I second guess myself on everything lately. Background- Guy (37m) and I (30f) started talking back in June, OLD style. Things progressed and while we haven't had any explicit conversations around defining what are relationship is guy calls me his 'girl' his 'babe' and repeatedly expresses we are a thing and he is a one woman dude. We are on average seeing each other like one night every other weekend, we are somewhat LD. We don't talk on the phone so its really just text in between visits. and those have been....lacking more and more. Obviously I know we are past the initial getting to know you phase so I dont expect riveting revelations or deep probing questions back to back at this point,,, but aside from a "good morning" "how is your day" and a meme or two that's been the extent the past oh...month? And there are long periods of time he goes silent on me. I do know he enjoys gaming and sometimes naps after work but I feel...neglected...

Any widows in here starting over in dating? Dating a divorcee with kids? How do you get past the feeling of envy that they share such a bond because of the kids and you don’t have that?

Edit: meant that them and their ex spouse share a bond: I was widowed at 30. My husband died of sepsis, leaving me alone with my 7 year old son. Now 35 and in a year and a half relationship with a divorcee with kids. As a parent they have to Co parent, talk all the time, etc. and I don’t have that. And sometimes I get jealous. Not that they talk, not that sometimes they have to do things for their kids together, but because I don’t share that bond with anyone. I don’t have anyone to talk to or help me with decisions on my sons school stuff, medical stuff. I just wish I had that “someone” to help me with my son like my bf has with his kids.

How long is too soon to not be a rebound?

So of course every one is different with different relationship and ways to grieve. In consideration of that, I’m curious how others’ opinions are compared to my own. Here’s the thing: almost two years ago I dated this woman sort of briefly, but we enjoyed each other’s company. In the end, life happened and we just stopped talking to each other. There was no fight or disagreement. it’s just fizzled. Now she has texted me. All this time later. I didn’t have her contact saved any more, and I didn’t recognize the number. At some point after the hellos, she tactfully and politely asked me if I’m single. To which I affirmed. I asked her of her status. She said she had a relationship for about a year and it ended XYZ months ago due to him moving. I liked her and would 10/10 date her again if she’s ready. I don’t want to lead or influence you readers by saying exactly how many months it has been. But I’m curious for your opinion: What number of months would you say to yourself “I’m a reb...

Is it unreasonable to want to date someone with career ambitions?

So, I just recently moved to Barcelona from Latin America. I'm a 32F, with a comfortable job in tech. I feel very lucky that I love my job, although I would not consider myself a workaholic. In my family, I was the first to finish college and my mom always put a lot on focus on being a hard worker and having a career, something she couldn't have. I have worked since I was 17, and I take pride in being able to support myself and help out my mom. Is something that I value, I like people who want to pursue something bigger and have ambitions. So now, I've been dating and going out with some guys here and I find very off putting that a lot of men around my age don't have what people would normally consider a career. They either have jobs in the hospitality industry (which is in a hard situation now because of Covid and they are in ERTE - a term for when people are not working and receiving assistance from the government), entry-level retail or they work in technical job...

Would you be receptive to going out again after basically being put on hold?

I went out with this 30 year old woman like two months ago. I thought the date went well. we texted after and everything seemed normal. but when i asked her out, she said she wanted to say yes, but is really busy with work right now. and wont have time to hang out for the next month or so. she works a normal corporate 9-5 job, so i figured she was politely rejecting me as she didnt even leave weekends as option to meet up lol. two months go by and she just hit me up. in my mind, it makes no sense that she would go on a date with me then magically wake up the next day and realize she had no time to hang out for the next two months. i feel like she just wasnt all that interested and what she did was actually a pretty manipulatice way to backburner me/keep me an option. am i being too cyncial here?
