one thing i love about being aro is never having to worry about participating in romance/date culture, like worrying whether i'm "pretty" or "desirable" or whatever, having to go on awkward dates, having to perform cringy romantic acts for someone, the list goes on. i'd rather just be myself and enjoy platonic relationships, thank you very much.
another thing i find really cool about being aro is that since i don't get crushes i feel like i can view everyone more objectively, whereas a lot of allos seem to get blinded by love and view their crushes with rose-tinted glasses.
lastly, i think it's just plain rad to subvert societal expectations. in a world that puts romance on a pedestal and discriminates against those who don't, to defy the pressure and stay true to yourself is pretty badass.
