My (didn't know yet) romance-favorable aro experience is in my mid-20s, thinking "Dating sounds neat, I haven't tried that yet!" and then finding a great friend who became my girlfriend because why not?

New term:
romance-flavourable.
Not repulsed or favourable, but willing to try a taste? I like some romantic flavours in my platonic relationships, but not full romo. the romo is like the seasoning on the platonic pizza base.
romance-flavourable.
As a loveless rom-neutral aro, I want to extend a hand to lovequeer and rom-favourable aros. You show an awesome new side of aromanticism, and you deserve better than you get. Whenever I see you, I am awed by your cool vibes. Keep it up 👍🏻
A new proposal for the aspec community 🖤💜💚
Recently, I was discussing personal attitudes towards romance with my QPP, and we thought about how personal attitudes towards romance/sex shouldn’t only be about whether one finds them disgusting, unsettling, uninteresting or enjoyable, but should also include other feelings. It is how we came up with the term romance/sex-wrathful.
Now wrathful might refer to a series of feelings that cause anger, irriation or burning rage at the way our amatonormative society constantly shoves romance/ partnered sex in our faces, in ways that present them as the ultimate goal, the ultimate pleasure, the cure-all of all problems in life and something everyone desires and should strive for.
This can manifest for a number of reasons for the people who feel it:
a. They might feel it is unnecessary and overrated
b. They might be angered at the importance the world puts at it and the pressure to fInD a RoMaNtIc/SeXuAl PaRtNeR
c. They don’t understand it, and that pisses them off because it’s EVERYWHERE
d. They might be angered at the way it is portrayed in the media, and the stupid limitations/expectations they spread about it
What do yall think about it? Share your opinion and other points, we would like to hear from you.
P.S One of the reasons I enjoyed this conversation was because I am using the concept of linguistic becomings for my thesis.
