I (21M) have a bit of a visible stomach and am worried I won't be dateable because of it. I'm 6'1 and around 250 lb, which is designated as obese bmi. However, if I suck my stomach in with a shirt on, it looks invisible. I've worked on exercising more and having a healthier diet to be in better shape, but do I need to lose a lot of weight before asking out women? Can a man with a visiblely larger stomach still be dateable or attractive to women?

Yes we definitely are doing this. I get why both groups feel othered. Just remember Asexuality is diverse and in some areas you might not relate to someone. A person sharing their experiences does not mean this isn't also a place for you to yours. There are definitely plenty of people who are also sex-repulsed/ sex-favourable even if it feels like that is not the case. Sorry to the people who feel like an outsider in their community. A few grievances I've noticed are: •Tag your posts as NSFW and use spoiler tags when applicable. •"asexual = not liking sex " is an idea you can see around a lot particularly in ace meme subs •Don't dismiss other people's experiences or gatekeep August 12, 2022 at 11:20PM

Went out with a man who I met through a dating app the other night for drinks and dinner. He told me to text him when I got home, which I did. I told him I had a nice time. We texted the following day too but his texts felt kind of short and I perceived him to be uninterested (plus he never tried to set up another date), so I decided not to text him back today. And he hasn’t texted me either. Should I reach out? I feel a man who is interested would take initiative Submitted August 13, 2022 at 12:07AM Went out with a man who I met through a dating app the other night for drinks and dinner.

Its frustrating. Im a 30 year old woman. Ive been in different relationships throughout my 20s. Toxicity in partners and toxicity in myself. Worked hard on myself the last 10 years. The last couple of years it began paying off. I know myself well, Ive dealt with my triggers, worked with my attachment, I take responsibility for myself, my nervoussystem and emotional regulation. I make myself happy. I found love for myself and life. So I thought dating again, being my unproblematic self, would be easier but the men (very wonderful men indeed) I have dated - they have not dealt with their past wounds or traumas and are not in awareness. Ive tried dated men in their 40s instead - same experience. Ive tried to sit with them in vulnerability, in their fear of loving again - or whatever their wounds are - but they are not the same place as I am, and have not done the work - and I dont want to end up in anything codependent/ me having to be their therapist. The guys Ive dated have seemed ver...

Personally I'm aceflux with a sexual attraction primarily towards women and female presenting people, but I'm also panromantic so maybe I can help. For me: Sexual attraction is when I want to have a sexual relationship with a specific person. Where as: Sexual thoughts are just me thinking about sex, not with any specific person (Though it can be). Libido is I want sex in what ever form, it isn't directed anywhere or at anyone I'm just horny. Sexual Activities is just having sex in what ever form regardless of sexual attraction for which ever reason. Fantasies are generally imagining yourself in sexual situations and can happen regardless or libido or sexual attraction. Romantic Interest is when I want to be intimately close to someone, when I get "the warm fuzzies", I want to hold their had go out on dates, be obnoxiously sweet with them, talk to them all the time, kiss and cuddle. But I do not have to be sexually attracted to them to have a Romantic...
