Right, it has a lot to do with aromanticism just like Sexual Partners, Friends and Allies that are under the Asexuality category on AVEN.

Where the new forums are placed doesn't matter much as long as posts there contribute to the personal post count. (As witnessed on AVEN, where Just For Fun posts increase the count but Arcade ones don't, it's possible to make different settings even for forums in the same category on an IPS board).

@Jade How about grouping sexuality + LGBT into one subforum (working title 'Sexuality') and romantic allies + grayromanticism into another (working title 'Romantic Relationships'; the latter forum is less urgently needed than the former and can be postponed)? I don't find it logical to group sexuality with romanticism in a single new forum.

Yeah, that's basically what I'd like to be added. These are not too many forums, and each of them makes sense (especially seeing the decent traffic of the sexual allies and grey-A forums on AVEN relatively to that entire board). The romantic allies forum will have traffic problems at first, but I expect the word of mouth to populate it soon enough; or those Arocalyptists who're currently in relationships with romantics can bring their partners here so that we have useful first-hand viewpoints of romantic people on the subject of romance.

It must contribute to the post count, though, for the LGBT pride reason.

In relation to the recent LGBT-related discussions... Dear admods, do you think it makes sense to create separate forum(s) about sexuality-related topics (maybe a forum about sex with cishets separate from a forum about other sex talk to keep the LGBTIQ+ membership happy)? Or do you want to keep the structure of the board the same in the foreseeable future?

I've redone the test, imagining how I'd behave if my most recent squishy swish* had a crush on me in return (or, for questions talking about unrequited 'love' - how I normally behave when I have swishes). *The feeling is fortunately gone for now but might relapse. So @Jade, my current score of 75 is much better than the previous assessment '90-95' that you recorded Don't blame me for giving perhaps contradictory answers to some questions - I'm on melatonin to fall asleep better and so my brain isn't functioning that well.

I think people who have never been there are supposed to emulate a hypothetical romantic relationship in their imagination and answer how they would feel if they were 'in love' the way they tend to do (e.g. if they formed a couple with someone they'd have a self-proclaimed 'squish' on). At least that's I was doing. I don't have enough experience to give answers 'proved by the reality' to the questions that discuss being in mutual love because my squishes (or whatever it's called) were never reciprocated; however, I do have a fairly accurate idea of what would have happened if certain girls (whom I had never asked out in reality) had agreed to be my girlfriends.

@Blue Phoenix Ace Imo, being 'naturally aro' is like being cissexual and being 'functionally aro' (the type of an aro that I described in the post that you quoted) is like being transsexual (post-op). I.e. the difference in appearance and behavior is unnoticeable and it doesn't matter much how one has got the body that one currently has. Speaking of the quiz, I'll need to redo it because I was being too self-loathing when I was filling it out and attributing some psychoses to myself that I had probably never had.

I'd then most likely hit a lot of non-creepy items as well (those that are the milder versions of the creepy ones that I'd hit). Online tests aren't designed to be 100% accurate anyway (nothing replaces visiting a psychotherapist in person). Several percents of false positives and false negatives are fine for them.

Yes, they're extremes, and those who're sane enough don't score the full 150 points. A pathology is suspected only if the score is >=120.

As I see it, when two people are in reciprocated 'love', their psychoses cancel each other much like in a skill game where my blunders aren't punished by an opponent who is similarly weak.

To begin with, it's barely possible to find the most compatible human out of 7 billion. Finding for a top-0.001% human in terms of compatibility would be a more practical goal, but it's not mandatory either

It is.

According to a master list of genders on Tumblr, it's called girlflux.

Meh. I'm OK with folks making out as long as they're not too noisy (sometimes female moans in my house are way too loud and i start wondering whether some neighbors are just having sex or, all of a sudden, being tortured). When folks make out in public transport, I pity them for being so much not in control of themselves that they can't even wait until they arrive home

I'm essentially out to the relatives (though I don't use the lingo), and they still think that refusing to date is my conscious decision or a consequence of laziness or of seeing how my brother is exhausted by being the sole breadwinner for his sons and lazy wife and nurturing them at the same time. Pets are legit (grand)kids too!

I'd just present as I feel like in practice and stop worrying about the theoretical identity Being an aro ace makes it much easier because you don't need to worry about being attractive romantically or sexually (which would make it desirable to present as a definite gender because the percentage of people who're polysexual or polyromantic is too small for them to be a 'target audience' in dating).

Tried ace dating sites but got disappointed, eh?

My teenage knowledge of love was deepened a lot by a Social Studies textbook. It was describing love as a pleasurably ecstatic but uncontrollable force, and the latter property repulsed me a lot. I like to be in control of myself.

SO FAR, ALEXA SAYS THAT OVER HALF OF AROCALYPSE'S VISITORS COME FROM FINLAND LET'S WAIT UNTIL IT STARTS GIVING CORRECT STATS.

RIGHT-CLICK AND SAVE THE EMOTICON TO YOUR IMGUR OR WHATEVER IMAGE STORAGE AND POST IT ON AVEN AS A REGULAR IMAGE. THE ONLY LIMITATION IS THAT IT CAN'T BE ADDED INTO AN AVEN SIGNATURE WITHOUT AN ADMIN'S HELP [IT'S A WELL-KNOWN BUG].
