JB42 Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 Hello, all. Just out of curiosity, I put together short a survey of questions related to aro-spectrum people and their attitudes toward relationships - friends, acquaintances and otherwise. Hope no one is offended by it. Just answer to the extent you want to. Thanks! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5BT72TP
Neir Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 Thank you for putting this together! If I can give you feedback, I was personally confused by the "what is your sex/gender" question. Sex and gender are two different things. I can't tell which one you were asking about, so it would be good to clarify. Also, the question about being romantic or not did not adequately capture many aro identities. I would not put my identity in the in-between category, for example, but it's not entirely accurate to choose either of the other options. I would personally change this to a short answer question, asking "What is your romantic orientation" or something similar. I'm always happy to see more people interested in doing surveys. I'lI be curious about what you find.
JB42 Posted February 17, 2019 Author Posted February 17, 2019 Hello @running.tally. That's a good question. I agree they are different, but if they match they both have the same affect on actions/personality (I am trans myself but since I have transitioned, I personally consider my sex male and my gender also male). I figured it would be best to combine rather than list all possible identities and combinations. (I only have room for 10 questions before I have to pay for the survey service ). Same goes for the aro box. People can specify or comment with further detail. Sorry if this was troubling to you.
Mark Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 I think the option I would sleep with someone I considered only a "friend" might not be worded the best way. Since to many aros friendship is a more desirable type of relationship than romance.
JB42 Posted February 18, 2019 Author Posted February 18, 2019 Hey, @Mark. Thanks for your input. "Only" in this case is meant to mean "nothing other than" or "strictly" as opposed to "a friend is less important or desirable."
Apathetic Echidna Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 I'd be interested in seeing the results of this once you are done collecting data
