[MaxIsCosmic]

so I think I might be aro ace but I still feel like I like people on the masculine side of the gender spectrum just not romantically or sexually is there a label for that or can I be aroace ad gay?

Absolutely you can be!! There are plenty of other types of attraction- platonic, aesthetic, familial, etc.- and those can have orientions to them if you want!! There are also orientated aroaces, and plenty of people identify as another attraction label as well as aroace!!!

Oriented aroace is a thing, it just means you experience attraction that is not sexual or romantic
