  1. Finding the words to express how I thought about romance probably saved me from doing a lot of really dumb shit. I didn't go charging into relationships I wouldn't have been comfortable with.
  2. I find I notice how much romance is around and romantic love seen as a good thing. One recent example, I was watching TV with my family and I noticed we had seen 5 adverts in a row that all used a happy family as a way to sell their product. Or I now notice how much music is based on love, which I think a lot of aros bring up.
  3. Put your thoughts into writing. It will help you and might even be interesting to other people
  4. Nice I wonder if the fact this is rare to talk about outside of a small group helped in a way. If almost everything the ai saw on the subject was very similar and made the same few points that might be easier to work with than a subject with a huge variety of opinion.
  5. No, rock beats have awesome guitar and lots of drums, not sure what they have to do with scissors. Cats are waaaay better than dogs
  6. Live (Not that live, the other live)
  7. That would be an interesting idea. To be honest I don't really know what I could offer within the functionality that I have.
  8. it is based on an old sea shanty called 'Drunken Sailor'. So yes, kind of a brit meme thing, or at least, something a lot of brits would recognise. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drunken_Sailor the song giving various answers to the question 'what shall we do with a drunken sailor?'
  9. Just found out some in orthodox Christianity celebrate Christmas on jan 7th. So happy Christmas again I guess. I'm gonna keep demanding schisms until every day is Christmas now. 🎄
  10. That sounds correct. I know in the UK most people probably wouldn't bring a spouse to a work event either.
  11. I think its worth setting out that your options are not 'aro' or 'another bad guy'. If you believe that framing you will probably find yourself siding with aro regardless of whether or not it is an idea that fits you. Romance is one possible part of a relationship and even people who feel a desire for romance can put that that for other things. You might be aro but more importantly, the things you have written, aro or not, do not make you a bad person. If the people involved in that relationship you talk about consent to the way that relationship is, understanding what they are involved in, then I don't see what about it would make you a bad person.
  12. https://azejournal.com/article/2022/8/4/what-could-happen-autism-aromanticism-and-the-problem-with-social-skills 1. Check out AZE journal in general. It has some interesting stuff and well written work about aromantism (as well as asexuality and agender things if that is of interest to you). 2. I found this piece of writing in particular very interesting. It talks quite a lot about how therapy for autism interacts with being aromantic.
  13. Something to bring me back to my childhood. So many evenings watching this on telly with my family.
