Alsu Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 By textbook definition, aromantism can be defined as "little t not romantic attraction". For long, i thought of the "little" part added for demiromantism. But i wondered, can this include, lets say, straight guy, who very rarely finds a woman attractive? Like, they find one attractive only once every 7 years or so? (this question is asked while forgetting any beliefs holded by the specific person, such as any sort of misoginy or habits of consuming media with unachievable standars) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armored frog Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 i think that would be an example of greyromanticism, a person who rarely experience romantic atraction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 The "little" part just refers to the whole rest of the spectrum. You can see a non-exhaustive list here. So yeah, if someone felt romantic attraction rarely, they could absolutely refer to themself as "aromantic" and be entirely correct. Overall, if the "aromantic" label helps you define yourself, then use it. The definition is better used as a guide than a rule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collie Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I'm grey-aro, but I just call myself straight up aromantic most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frutiger aro Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 aromanticism is a spectrum ranging from little to no or very infrequent attraction, so that does fall under the definition. though if you need a more specific term, i would say that sounds grayromantic. really either label works though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
