CrazyCanuck Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Mostly social - I just like hanging out here. Some of the regular post-ers are a total riot! A little bit moral support though too, it's not easy to be A in a sexual world :roll:, er, well, actually it's probably easier to be A than to deal with all the dating, relationship crap that so many sexuals inflict on themselves...

Gorax Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Social group, all the way :D A place where I can talk to people without being assaulted by various forms of Internet stupidity. This place has the BEST no-internet-shorthand atmosphere I've seen so far. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Habit - I used to be a regular around here and when I get bored, I end up checking in Link to post Share on other sites
158Eyes Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I come mostly for socialising now, but sometimes it's good for moral support, especially since I'm still a little new in the discovery of asexuality. It's nice to socialise with people I have things in common. And I'd never joined a forum before, so this was a good introduction to the forum culture. Link to post Share on other sites
Dargon Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I origionally came to AVEN to see if I truly was A. Now I just come to socialize with the non-sex-crazed part of society. Link to post Share on other sites
VivreEstEsperer Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Hmm...I'm not sure if you can separate the categories out all that easily... talking about asexuality, having a social group, having moral support, they all kind of are interweaven together. I chose primarily for support but now I just think it's a combination. Hard to do one without the other. Link to post Share on other sites
Rukin Vinter Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 I come here because it feels like I can be more open than I am on other forums, and that people are nicer here and have a wider range of topics to discuss (and are generally more mature, from what I've seen) than people on other forum boards.

Kensington Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Social group thingy for me. This place has the BEST no-internet-shorthand atmosphere I've seen so far. Oh yes, definitely. *hugs all the people who can write complete sentances* Link to post Share on other sites
LonePiper Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Yep thts rite. No s/hnd here. Gotta h8 thse buggrs who cnt rite whole wrds. God dammit! I can't even do it if try! That doesn't look like proper internet shorthand! Link to post Share on other sites
SpinsterOne Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Other I visit AVEN for the comfort of not feeling like I'm the only one who feels like I do about sex. For the comfort of seeing there really are MEN out there that don't want anything to do with sex. Be away from the woman chasing man chasing atmosphere on so much of the internet.

Peyton Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I've voted for a 'combination of the above' and of course because I am totally and hopelessly addicted but then you all knew that right? I love it here :D Link to post Share on other sites
Miss_Moneypenny Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 For a combination of reasons, really, but more for the moral support aspect. It's a relief to know that there isn't something wrong with me. Link to post Share on other sites
berniuk Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 A social group that hopefully will give me the impetuous to continue on my path of preferred single-dom, whilst having the warmth of an understanding community around me. Link to post Share on other sites
TheSMMG Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 A number of the options, but mainly as a social group and to disscuss A-related issues - after all, no one else is going to really know what I'm talking about. Link to post Share on other sites
shygirl Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I came here initially looking for answers as to why I am different to other people i know, and more importantly for moral support! I've only recently told my boyfriend how i feel and everyone on here that replied to my post were great so thank you for the support! :) Link to post Share on other sites
Ally Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Other~ I started coming here just to socialize with people that ( at least in some little way ) were the same as me. As time has kind of passed, though, I've kind of realized how different I am in a group that's already different from a large majority of society. Which makes it - and trying to make friends - difficult. I'm really not sure why I'm here these days. Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Peterson Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I'm here mainly to discuss issues pertaining to asexuality to find out in which ways I'm similar to the majority here and in which ways I'm different, but I just joined the group earlier this month. I think it's natural to be here mainly to discuss asexuality during one's first two weeks on the forum. I believe there are many intelligent, kind people to socialize with on AVEN. However, I've never been a very social person, neither online nor offline. While I enjoy watching people interact, I rarely contribute to social banter. I can participate in a group for years without making a single significant social connection because of the difficulties I have socializing. Link to post Share on other sites
Chozo Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Because it's all still so new to me and I got to learn about this new aspect of my personality that I don't have to hide :) Every day I learn something from AVEN. When that slows down, I guess then I will post less. Also it's great, I've got several new e-friends off here so far :) Link to post Share on other sites
gambit_boi Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 as AVEN is the most intelligent, funniest, articulate, all around fun bunch of folks you're ever gonna find on the internet, my reasons for loving AVEN are mainly social. though a little bit to talk about asexuality. :D Link to post Share on other sites
mindlife Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 It's the club where no one's on the make sexually. Link to post Share on other sites
Orbit Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I come here to discuss issues of asexuality. It takes me a while to warm up to any group of people, so while I am iming with a few people here and there, it doesn't quite feel 'social' to me yet. maybe some day. :) hawke Link to post Share on other sites
SaneMan Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 I discovered when it comes to a choice between white and black, there is always grey. I am in the process of self discovery; and I voted for "most of the above". Should I elaborate more? Link to post Share on other sites

Absi Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I voted a combination. At first I only came to find out what Asexuality was, and whether I had it - it was fantastic to read posts that said what I had always thought and realise I wasn't the only one! Now I still have a lot to learn about my asexuality, so I am reading the posts on that, but also begining to take part in the social side of the forum. I was a very active social member on another messageboard a year or so back, and left that because it deteriorated a lot, so I am optomistic that this site may fill some of the gap left by the absence of that forum (although some has already been filled by now being at Uni, with other people I get on with, rather than at school).

Adelaine Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 for moral support and also because here I can talk to others with the same problems and feelings ... Link to post Share on other sites
anann Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 So far moral support and discussing issues pertaining to asexuality. As I get used to the idea, it is becoming more of an entertaining place to go while avoiding homework! Link to post Share on other sites
birdnerd Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Mostly as a social group. Also occasionally for moral support, or to discuss issues pertaining to asexuality. Link to post Share on other sites
Brodertun Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Social group. Its nice to not have all those innuendos popping up, and when they do I know they aren't meant in the same way that others mean them. Link to post Share on other sites
