Since my last relationship dating has been going poorly. Just... so. many. first. dates. I've relaxed my standards way beyond where I started. I've decided to just go ahead and relax them to 1) good person and 2) there is a universe in which I could see us having sex. I don't want to continue living my life alone. I'm a little overweight but on the whole I'm a good looking guy. I have interesting hobbies, strong values and I emphasize giving back. But since that's apparently not enough, the other thing I have going is that I've been professionally successful and have a seven figure net worth. Other than dressing well and wearing a nice watch this isn't something I outright talk about IRL. But I'm assuming there are plenty of people who prioritize financial security or maybe people who have had a difficult time getting by who this would be a big plus for. At the same time, I'm not looking for a sugar baby situation. So I'm not really sure h...

I(20M) been seeing this girl(19F) for a few months. We met in a friends' party and i thought she was amazing so i texted her a few days later to get to know her. We texted a lot and got to know each other very well i guess and i fell in love with her for everything she actually is. We used to meet each other a couple times a week but i never made any move nor did she, i like to have everything settled down before i make the move since i've had some previous relationships that were hurtful. Anyway, 3 weeks ago after we met, I said I wanted to talk to her, i had to make the move since it wasnt bearable for me anymore not to say anything and i confessed my feelings towards her. I asked her to be honest, if she didnt like my just tell me, it's fine, i just wanted to know where to go from there with my life. She said the problem wasnt in the feelings she had for me, because she liked me as well, but the future and what she's going through right now. We discussed the future...

A month ago I left my girlfriend because she was being controlling and it began to take its toll on my other relationships with friends and family. I learned a lot about myself. I took a month of reflection, and I began to wonder if it is possible for someone like me to ever find someone compatible. I came across this movement called MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way), and although depressing, it made me realize how some of my relationships fell apart. When I realized that there was some truth to it, I read more about it. And was depressed to find that members of MGTOW adamantly believe that men should not date women. This made me lose a bit of hope. I'm a pretty independent person, and while I like having romantic relations with women, I often find that they don't allow me my own time or space at all. I don't know if that's just how all romantic relationships are? I spend pretty much all of my time indoors because it's cold where I live. So maybe it's just the re...

Allo here. Everyone is different, but I was certain I was allo/hetero by the time I was 16. March 21, 2021 at 11:59PM

What section are these in at Walmart? March 21, 2021 at 11:56PM

I believe in marriage in the sense that if two people love eachother, and want legal rights to each others assets, they can and should get married. I also believe when having children, it’s better to be married in the sense that the child has two legal guardians and a stable family structure. I’m not religious, but I can also understand marriage in the religious sense. That being said, I believe legal marriage is a system that is being severely abused and needs to be revamped. I am a firm believer that if someone decided to get married, it’s a contract for life, and divorce should be considered a last resort, except in the cases of abuse. So many people use the system of marriage to gain citizenship or tax benefits when they don’t deserve it (I understand a lot of people use the citizenship and tax benefits to pull themselves out of a bad situation, and I can sympathize with them, but see it as an issue with the immigration and tax system that needs to be addressed. Marriage here is ...

Eh. I'm agender, and I have a brother, so not completely a girl's club. Also, my brother is straight, and so are my parents. I think they're a little bewildered that their family turned out so queer, but they're very good allies. March 21, 2021 at 11:54PM

Translation: "I want to seduce you, so please consult a medical professional to help make it easier for me to succeed." His advice has nothing to do with what's best for you. March 21, 2021 at 11:50PM

Simple: just say “if I’m attracted to it, it’s not sexual”. March 21, 2021 at 11:47PM

Aww! March 21, 2021 at 11:46PM

Is that even possible ? I honestly thought hetero/homo was the only impossible sexual/romantic attraction combination, if that makes sense. March 21, 2021 at 11:45PM

I don’t actually post on this sub, but I have a sister. March 21, 2021 at 11:43PM

Is your house the Gay(/bi/ace/maybe even trans idk) Girls Club or something? March 21, 2021 at 11:42PM

I have two March 21, 2021 at 11:42PM

That question wasn’t there for me March 21, 2021 at 11:37PM

Not for me. I think it’s separate from being ace, but I have always wished I didn’t have breasts. That was the main thing I thought “it would be nice if they didn’t exist.” but overall I didn’t particularly like any changes from puberty except for height. Learning about my genitalia didn’t matter that much to me, in comparison to my feelings towards my breasts, since I never even realized it existed before and it was very easy to not think about exept around that time of month. Personally, I thought having a Ken-doll anatomy would be sort of closer to my ideal one in that it has no physically sexual characteristics (primary or secondary), is taller, and has more muscles. But, I don’t think this has much to do with either my gender or sexual orientation other than the fact that since I would never want to have sex, I don’t even have to worry about losing sexual appeal if these things didn’t exist. They are mostly useless and sometimes a nusiance but nothing like any gender dsyphoria. I...

Completely with you on this one. I got so excited when I saw this meme, because it was the first time outside of this sub that I'd seen any sort of ace representation at all. I went into the comments expecting it to be filled with other aces getting excited over other people remembering that we exist, but instead found a load of people calling op and other commentors out for misrepresenting part of the ace community, and it just made me really sad. Like, I get that not every single one of us could see ourselves in that meme - I certainly couldn't. I'm sex-repulsed and questioning aro, and I've been in a long term relationship with another ace since I was 15/16. I've never gone out drinking in bars or clubs, and prefer to spend my time in the dark playing overwatch with my friends, so I would never want to give or get someone's phone number, but so what? We're not a very well known community to people outside it, so sure, people need to be educated at some ...

Thanks for posting the link unfortunately you're right about the postage 😔 but they are awesomely cute though!! 💜💜 March 21, 2021 at 11:23PM

Does it have a name? March 21, 2021 at 11:17PM

Yeah, there too, which is the reason I‘ve avoid that stuff as much as I can. And I find it even less acceptable in that context than, for example, here on reddit, as those are written with the express purpose of educating people, not just some comments on a random internet post. Don‘t get me wrong, it‘s bad on a random reddit post as well. And as a last thing, well, some have lightly seasoned it, some have slipped and instead dumped the whole bag of seasoning into the pot (and then two more for good measure) March 21, 2021 at 11:13PM

That's really good. I'm glad that the answers will be acknowledged if people chose to add their romantic orientation. Hopefully the question will make its way onto future... censuses? Censuri? (What's the plural of census?) March 21, 2021 at 11:10PM

I mean, you could always adopt, or if your partner has kids from a previous relationship... But you def don't need kids. March 21, 2021 at 11:09PM

I had to fill out one of these once (that had “asexual” as an option) and I literally typed in “not sure”. March 21, 2021 at 11:07PM
