RavenclawFuryThingy Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I'm an Aromantic and I get annoyed easily so I try not to annoy other people, unless I'm teasing them. Link to post Share on other sites

Randomchaos Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 My favorite saying that I know annoys my romantic friend is: "I don't see why romance is so important." When it is very important to her. On a more serious note Peoples calm down Link to post Share on other sites

GloomyGhost Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 "Who says we don't experience love!" Yes, I get it, the word "love" is also used for platonic love, but most of the time when people say it they mean romantic love and when they say it specifically in the context of dating, I'd say it is safe to asume that that is what it means in this situation, so it comes across to me as picking on words when you know what the other side means. But... I understand the other side, there are gonna be people who are going to think you don't feel platonic love or anything, so it's good to point it out, I would just word it differently I guess.

Valja Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Maybe: "I don't care about a relationship", "I don't want to get married", "I don't believe in love at first sight, it's bullshit and is called physical attraction", "relationships just make you lose time"- me =D Link to post Share on other sites

So, even if I tried to talk about philosophy (or whatever) with them, they'd just label my views annoying before I even open my mouth, just because I've had romantic feelings for some people before? How is that any better than racism or other forms of discrimination? Link to post Share on other sites
sindi Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 I just can't help but to notice, that many aromantics are getting defensive about this thread? Saying things that obviously are not annoying? What's up with that? Link to post Share on other sites

King Al Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 When they call me, the grey-aro, indecisive. Like... just because you're full on aromantic does not mean you are superior to me. (I know not all aromantics are like this) Link to post Share on other sites

Saying things that obviously are not annoying? What's up with that? I'm aromantic and other aromantics say stuff which annoys me all the time. Hell, I say stuff which annoys me. Remember that people can make fun of themselves just as much as they make fun of other people, and that just because you don't find something annoying doesn't mean other people don't too.

Methinks it's along the line of asexuals who overly fuss over the definitions of "attraction" vs "want" vs "desire" so they can twist the definition so that they can keep their 'asexual' label but still have sex, e.g. "Yeah I enjoy sex, but I don't feel desire towards a specific person so I'm still asexual!!"

I just meant the clearly passive-aggressive posts, like ""I don't want a romance." <-There, that's annoying to you romantics, right?!". But nevermind, I don't want this to be some kind of a war, and there's definitely nothing wrong with aromantics contributing to this thread, I never meant to imply that!
