Granted: You work out how to come up with endless wishes but none of them will ever be granted..

I wish I could lazer off my head hair impermanently so It would stop growing but I could re-initiate growing on command

Granted: sardines, wasabi and dog meat pizza coming right up

I wish I could shapeshift

You is kind, you is smart, you is important.

I like extroverts. They give me something to tall about instead of sitting in a corner on my own. 

Yeah I always make a point to talk to quiet people as usually I find they're just unsure of how to start a conversation, then when you get them talking they're fine

"Look at the lyrics of popular songs, or read some classical poetry: the phrases we choose to describe romantic love don’t really sound all that pleasant. Crazy in love, love hurts, obsession, heartbreak … these are all descriptions of mental or physical illness.

The thing that gets called romantic love in this culture seems to be a heady cocktail of lust and adrenaline, sparked by uncertainty, insecurity, perhaps even anger or danger. The chills up the spine that we recognize as passion are, in fact, the same physical phenomenon as hair rising up on a cat's back and are caused by the fight-or-flight response.

This kind of love can be thrilling and overwhelming and sometimes a hell of a lot of fun, but it is not the only 'real' kind of love, nor is it always a good basis for an ongoing relationship. Yet as George Bernard Shaw famously remarked, 'When two people are under the influence of the most violent, most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions, they are required to swear that they will remain in that excited, abnormal, and exhausting condition continuously until death do them part.'"

I agree with George Bernard Shaw, this sound both insane and unrealistic to maintain. But then (as an Aro person) I find life-long monogamy a hard concept to get my head around.

But it is difficult to define romantic attraction in terms of behaviour, just as it is difficult to do so with sexual orientation. Asexuals might have sex, like homosexhals might have heterosexual sex(?), or vice versa(?). Aros might still want to engage in any of the actions typically regarded as romantic: Spend time with a squish in a queerplatonic relationship and enjoy any kind of physical intimacy and sensation.

This makes sense, I as an Aro person would love a QPR but romantically coded things make me uncomfortable.

Romantic attraction usually involves feelings of jealousy, but we have learned from poly communities that those cannot be a prerequisite and have more to do with individual insecurities.

I never understood jealousy, If you don't trust your partner then surely you shouldn't be with them?

The usual trope is that people can fall in love rather quickly; whether "love at first sight" is mere infatuation and in how far that is different from being in love I cannot tell, but there are certainly people who fall in love quite fast and relatively often. But then again, for gray-/demiromantics that can be very different as well.

I always found this hard to believe..

I'm still not going to make another resource-consuming carbon-emitting job competitor. Many people are going to have kids, and probably enjoy that much more than I do. I don't intend to make their kids' lives even slightly harder by forcing them to compete more than they'll already have to.

SING IT. I'm going to copy and paste this to a conversation with my mother

Granted! You will never have any wishes.. only sadness and mediocrity

I'm not attracted to males at all and I find females hot or cute and if one asked me out I would probably say yes but I would never kiss them and I haven't ever actually felt any romantic or sexual attraction towards females or anyone. I have how ever felt sensual (minus kissing) attraction to females that I'm friends with (basically wanting to hug/cuddle and stuff) them but a lot of my friends do those sort of things in a friend sort of way (again minus kissing).

This lot is very Ace/Aro

Because I've never wanted children. No amount of societal pressure will make me invite a child into a home where they are not getting all they need.

I kind of want cats because they can be adorable and sometimes cuddly but most often only up to it whenever they feel like and they don't like it when their sense of space is invaded. Idk they are pretty autonomous animals so I really feel close to them. If they feel like you are their human, they can be pretty nice occasionally.

Cats are also like the least romo animals ever

Why is it that engagement rings are much more expensive than wedding rings? Shouldn't it be the other way round? Logic???

 

Error 417: Expectation Failed

I guess the way romo people saw it in the past was the engagement ring 'bought' the (usually female) person, hence being expensive and show-off-y; whereas the wedding ring is just a way to 'seal the deal'.

Sounds like signing away your soul to me..

Oh, and what the hell is with that diamond engagement ring and the fuss about it? Trying to prove what?! Like let's take a large amount of money and set it on fire o.O.  

Oh my god exactly. I've always said (pre realising I'm Aro) that if I were to get engaged I'd want a £1 ring, or basically something either handmade or super cheap so I'm not terrified of losing it or having it stolen. Expensive rings just seem to me both wasteful and vapid.

YMBAI you are comfortable being yourself.. a little too much (everyone thinks you're weird, but basically you're only different because you aren't afraid of putting people off)

I'd say it's more the desire to be in a couple (or triad, quad, etc).
To want to be seen as that and to merge lives/identities/finances/etc.

Yes, which sounds like a nice thing, but sort of stifling? I've never met a person that I would want to become one with for my whole life rather than free beings
