i only feel sexual attraction towards my partners, and they have to be sexual first. if they’re not sexual people, i only feel romance to them and no sexual feelings. i frankly don’t wanna bang anyone and have never felt like actually doing so until i met my partner, and even then, it’s more out of curiosity and romantic sparks than anything else (i’m super romantic so i’m not aromantic).
i only feel sexual feelings under certain circumstances, and even then, i use it to make myself happy and not really wanting to have sex with someone.
i am sure i feel sexual attraction, like probably towards my partner, but i’d say less so than most people do, perhaps???
i’m demisexual for now which is on the ace spectrum.
Do you have a name? Names are just labels. Why do you care if other people can summon you. Stop worrying about other people and stop haveing a name.
It’s not about what people think about us it’s about ease of communication. I can give someone a detailed explanation of the complexity of my attraction
or I can say I’m ace and be done with it. Ace is close enough to what I am. Much like it makes it easier for someone to get in contact with you if they know your damn name.
Labels exist for a reason. We are pattern recognition machines mostly.
I don’t really use my name or other people’s names when interacting with them, no. I also don’t really use labels and I avoid socialize with people who are obsessed with them because I mostly find them to be massively self-obsessed jerks who lack respect for others and arrogantly insist they know shit they don’t.
Because I don’t really give a fuck about these weird arbitrary definitions of 150 pride flags that angsty teens on tumblr made up to feel special. anymore than i think anyone’s given name is some sort of ‘identity’ or horoscope of their personality.
“I don’t use people’s names”
Okay. Do you have any friends at all? Who are they?
I say ‘hey man’.
But they aren’t here. Tell me about your friends.
Me and your friend are meeting for the first time at a party and you are introducing us? Rember you can’t use names.
What does your phone book on your cell look like? No names or labels.
By the way ”man” is a label
my cell is mostly just numbers.
no, man is not a label. i use it for women and queer people too.
Well hate it quietly then. You aren’t any different than the bigots. You won’t hang out with anyone who uses any kind of label and you demand people stop because it bothers you.
Btw it must be hard for you to order food considering things don’t have labels. Hamburger is an arbitrary label. So is steak. And beef, and beer, and bears.
lol you use labels all the time you just want to feel superior to others.
I don’t like sports but i don’t bring it because im not judging people who do like sports. I don’t complain, I just don’t watch the sports. Oh sorry I shouldn’t have used the word “sport” that’s a label and I know they scare you.
This is human nature. It’s part of our brains way of processing things. You don’t categorize or sort anything?
typical lemmy. ‘if you disagree with me or challenge me you are just a hateful bigot’ straight to the personal attack because you have nothing of substance to say.
No, life is pretty easy for me. I don’t agonize over the labels of things. I mostly ignore them. Just like I ignore lazy relativism arguments that think words have no meaning… but who hypocritically get very defensive about those very same words.
None of those things are arbitrary, but keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel smart i guess? Jesus. Not everyone is so divorced from a physical/objective reality as you are.
lol I know more about words and their meanings than you do. Man is absolutely a label even if you are using it wrong.
You absolutely use labels all the time. It’s how the brain works.
Btw: bigot is
a person who is stubbornly, obstinately, or unreasonably attached to their own beliefs, opinions, or prejudices and is intolerant toward those who differ.
So yeah I used bigot correctly.
right, you’re not a the bigot here. not at all.
How so?
