/u/sadcollegeboii on when did you become aware that asexuality was a thing?

I found out back in 2018 on Twitter when an asexual journal page came up on my feed and it went from there and was like “WAIT. THERES A NAME FOR IT” 🥲 September 15, 2022 at 01:01AM

Red flag or Normal behaviour!

Starting to date again but I’m out of touch! I’m (f 38 yr) and I’ve met a guy online (41) just some casual chat, nothing romantic yet. Stalked his social media profiles, he follows quite a few 20 something women on Insta and tik tok, cam girls/flirt4free etc. I’ve also seen him on some of the girls live videos and writing some comments, nothing lewd but things like ‘you’re very pretty’ on a 21 year old woman’s page, and striking up conversations, I genuinely think that he thinks they may be interested in him. Is this normal? I’m so out of touch with social media, should I be concerned or do a lot of guys do this now? He is 41, no kids, single so he can do what he wants I guess but I can’t help but think well he’s interested in these young pretty girls, surely I’m not what he wants then? Thanks in advance.

Dating a very self conscious girl.

I’m 25M and she’s 22F. We’ve been dating for a good 4months now, but she’s very self conscious about her appearance. She says she’s fat, ugly, and other degrading things. I would always tell her she’s beautiful and try to get her to stop thinking so negatively about herself. I feel like if I stop complimenting her, because it feels like it’s going nowhere, she’s going to go find someone else to give her validation. I tell her she’s pretty, she insists she isn’t. And we go back and forth on this until she agrees that she’s pretty. What do I do. Help from both sides would be appreciated. Submitted September 15, 2022 at 12:14AM I’m 25M and she’s 22F.

/u/anxious_idiot97 on when did you become aware that asexuality was a thing?

Late 2019, when I started searching on the internet what was wrong with me for not wanting/liking sex because I thought I was weird and that there was a problem with me and it was one more problem in my relationship with my ex. It lead me to discover what asexuality is and then I understood. September 14, 2022 at 11:45PM

If you have a hormonal imbalance it can mess up a lot of things. People often don't realize how important hormones are to your whole body, it's not just sex and gender stuff. Overwhelmingly ace people don't usually have hormone issues, and there are quite a few trans aces around who can confirm their hormones are tested regularly and they're still ace (hello I am one.) However, if someone did have a hormone issue it could lead them to having symptoms that could be mistaken for asexuality. Low libido, one possible symptom, is often mistaken for asexuality and if your hormones are messed up it could put you in a place where you have no desire to be with people sexually or even romantically. And if your hormones are out of whack it could lead to physical deficiencies with sex as well, leading people to think there's a lack of attraction. If you think you might have a hormone issue it's important to get checked. There's absolutely no shame in identifying as
