Sounds like you're mostly aromantic!

Yes and they bombed.

I thought wanting sex was the same thing as wanting a relationship. I was wrong.

Hated saying I love you and hated being tethered to someone.

Reality... 😶‍🌫️

There's a world of difference between

1. the edgy it-is-true-because-it-is-politically-incorrect "men and women can't be friends" and
2. the nearly trivial truth that if people match each other's sexual preferences, then sexual attraction might sometimes - depending on many other factors, like personality - complicate their friendship.

We know there are male-female friends, who would object to 1. But people who subscribe to this idea assume bad faith then, and we get into the "it's the friend zone" discussion.

The problem with 2 OTOH is that it is so trivially true and really just sets a lower boundary. But the effect could be very strong and theoretically most friendships between men and women might be just bad, manipulative or full of hidden, unrequited feelings.

So at this point, I guess anything that further could be said needs evidence, like a psychological study.

Because it-is-true-because-it-is-politically-incorrect simply is a logical fallacy.

PS: The video is not evidence! We haven't even seen the uncut footage!

Nobody said that.

Nobody made an appeal to political correctness.

People are physical beings with endocrine systems. Unless there's some reason why you're not attracted to each other a friendship can easily spill over into sexual attraction. I don't see what is so wrong with pointing '2' out. 

If other people are managing to have friendships with the opposite sex that are just friendships that's great and I'm glad for them.

But if I could go back in time and make different decisions I would definitely focus more on making female friends because I have often had male ones get awkward. Not always but there's no need to risk the headache.

Hey, don't speak for everyone.  Some people would find that sexy.

LOLOLOL fair enough but surely you can see the point I was trying to get across?

Sure but it's a bit hard to be sexually attracted to such people. This is not a judgement on their humanity or dignity...it's just a fact. I can like them and respect them but I wouldn't get any urge to have sex with a 500 lb man lol.

lithromantic?

Very lith.

Personally they're a bit too relationship-like for me. I'd rather just have plenty of strong friendships and be part of communities. 

I do think unless there's some reason why people aren't sexually compatible it's a bit hard for men and women to be just friends.

For example one of you is morbidly obese, ugly, gay, too old or too young.

It's not a moral judgement. It's just reality.

Why not?

TPBM want to take a trip to Mongolia?

Ewwwww.

You're right, maybe I just search a problem, where it isn't. But I hope I don't have OCD.

I don't look for someone, but I didn't "give up". I just don't need to do it.

You speak from my heart. Be in relationship is like "sacrifice" my freedom for someone, be in "trap".

I had a lot of situations when someone felt "something" to me and I said honestly "No!" but he still hoped and then he was angry and I was the worst person for him because "I gave him hope"😶

Yeah even when I genuinely loved someone I still found relationships annoying and wanted freedom. I've stayed in a few longer than I wanted because rhetoric about male mental health weighed heavy. 

You can sell him at Lord Hellnope's Pet Emporium :D

Next person wins 1 grey sock

I am also not a very lovey or feelingsy person but I can't say if that's being aromantic or just pragmatic.

There are 8 billion people on the planet. Falling in love with one just seems silly. They're a human being who farts and burps like everyone else. What's to write poetry or start wars over?

Then it would be settled. Only discussion would be: are you a "legitimate" aromantic?

But there's no World Aromantic Governing Body that can give you a certificate. 😉

I guess that only very few would not "accept" you, since it's not unusual to have some relationship history, including even long relationships.

Or do you have fear of missing out?

The problem with the comparison with gay people is that gay people have those situations that can hit them like a truck. When they feel attraction.

For aromantics, there is no such thing. So if they aren't romance-repulsed, it can happen that they just tolerate and go along with a romantic relationship. This makes it so tricky.

Aromantics are in the situation of someone who has to prove "There are no black swans".

Yeah I sometimes feel like I'm intruding on this forum and unfairly taking a space from someone else lol. I'm not a true aromantic in some senses of the word. I absolutely have had crushes and an attractive man can certainly have hypnotic power over me...I just don't like relationships and find them hard on my introversion. I always end up wanting my freedom back. Relationships are a bit too much like 'people time' for me.

I joined this site largely because I wanted to meet people without the risk of someone developing feelings for me and then being upset if I didn't reciprocate. I had just had that happen with a male friend from a meme group and I didn't want it happening again.
