paporomantic

Do you folks have any tips (besides styles that are labeled specifically as 'unisex') on looking genderless (as a small-breasted human, phew), not like a mixture of a man and a woman? (I'm yet to read the relevant AVEN threads...)

For comparison: an 8-bit chiptune cover of 'Holy Wars'! @Starry Sky @Zemaddog

The first ever vocal cover to be played on the shovel \m/ (Megadeth - Holy Wars... The Punishment Due) @Ugh... (Also, folks, let's try to post videos in spoilers and see if it helps pages load faster. To hide a video, first click on the eyeball to create an empty spoiler and only then post a link there. For some reason, I can't wrap a video into a spoiler if I post the embedding first.)

It's called 'androsexual' ('gynesexual' / 'gynosexual' in the case of attraction to women), 'androromantic' etc. The terms were invented exactly because NBs were unsure whether to call themselves gay or straight (neither of these two labels fits).

Slytherclaw* / Erudite * Gradually transitioning from Ravenclaw to Slytherin if you wish. There are quizzes helping figure out one's hybrid Hogwarts house, e.g. at Buzzfeed or Hypable. Disclaimer: I've spent almost zero time on reading / watching fantasy, just I see that a big part of aros / aces are potterheads so I thought it would be useful to classify myself

In my brother's case, this 'fresh' stage has lasted for 7 years already. He's been interested in spending almost all his free time with his girlfriend -> wife and then children as opposed to the other relatives and friends.

Rather, I meant 'an irrational belief'. It sounds very illogical to me that everyone has a 'match' or even has a way (easier than exhaustive search, which is impossible within the human lifetime) to find out whether the match exists. I wrote a more detailed musing about this in a thread about the schromantic epistemological approach (which is admittedly a mind twister, beware).

THERE ARE A FEW REGULARS OF AVEN CLC WHO AREN'T REGULARS HERE FOR SOME REASON. THAT'S STRANGE.

BUT HE'S GONNA BE VERY WELL-FED WHEN HE REACHES THE TOP

Haha, nice bluff @Dareyth

Yes, it is

@Dareyth (welcome to Arocalypse, btw ) @Cassiopeia Aren't there non-alcoholic drink that taste like certain kinds of wine? (I haven't researched this.) Or is etanol itself necessary for the good taste?

Oh, so you feel the 'right' kind of love The 'deficiency love' ('D-love') that's described in that section of the quiz is however a well-studied phenomenon (since Abraham Maslow's work). It's a dysfunctional type of 'love'. Overall, I feel that the quiz is rather a test for limerence than a test for love. The problem is that I don't understand (and have never felt) any kind of 'love' that isn't limerence That's an empowering statement But it sounds like a religious belief to me

In this thread, romantics are encouraged to answer aros' questions about romance and, conversely, aros to answer romantics' questions about aromanticism, so that we learn to understand each other better (This is an analogue of AVEN's 'Asexual-Sexual Q&A Thread'.) _____________________________________ Let me start with a question to romantics (incl. @Nai @HappyBunny @Punable): In the romantic love quiz that is currently in use on Arocalypse as an (inaccurate) kind of a 'litmus test', which of the statements give an incorrect impression about the nature of romantic attraction, and which grasp its nature correctly?

The most intense 'horror episode' in my limited experience happened when a pretty girl (1 out of 4 girls in a class of 24 students) asked me to help me with an algebra home task (though she was supposed to be good at it). Judging by the size of the crowd that was watching us, I thought that it was a setup, felt dizzy for a few seconds because of the awkwardness of the situation and answered with a resounding 'no'. Later in life, I used that experience when an even prettier (subjectively and temporarily) girl asked me to let her copy my homework: my 'no, because reasons' response was instant. She reminded me of this years later and told she couldn't forgive me It's amazing how much garbage people like to memorize.

There must be a nonzero correlation between sexuality / romanticism and alcohol consumption because the Western culture encourages its use as a kind of a hookup / dating lubricant

@deltaX WHY ISN'T YOUR AROCALYPSE AVATAR A GREEN SPACE TRIANGLE [Q]

Yeah, and references to elections can be removed too. However, the fact that a PT and elections are referenced doesn't change the meaning of the ToS (a nonexisting object is allowed to have any property and this won't lead to a contradiction, you know), and the fact that they're mentioned is cheering me up as it might be hinting that a PT and elections will appear once the community grows

BUT IS IT TRUE THAT THE RIGHT EYE AND THE RIGHT HALF OF THE LEFT EYE ARE OF ONE COLOR AND THE LEFT HALF OF THE LEFT EYE IS OF ANOTHER [Q] [WHICH IS SECTORAL HETEROCHROMIA.] MAYBE I'M JUST TOO COLORBLIND TO NAME THEM PROPERLY.

OK, UPON EVEN CLOSER LOOK, THE RIGHT EYE IS TOTALLY BROWN, THE RIGHT HALF OF THE LEFT EYE IS ALSO BROWN, BUT THE LEFT HALF OF THE LEFT EYE IS GREEN. SO IT'S SECTORAL HETEROCHROMIA.

UPON CLOSER LOOK, I THINK IT'S COMPLETE HETEROCHROMIA. THE RIGHT EYE IS BROWN, THE LEFT ONE IS GRAY.

DO YOU HAVE HETEROCHROMIA IRIDUM [Q]

SCHRÖCOLOR, OBV.

HAS IT BECOME EVEN GREENER [Q]
