What do you mean?

http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/220/testosterone?act=2#play Interesting short listen. About a lesbian who takes a ton of testosterone to become a man and the effects it has on her brain/sex drive. Women just don't understand how important their looks are to men, as well as how important sex is to men

Hell yeah

I think it's basically the same thing as friendship Adaquately and accurately defining romantic attraction has been an incredibly difficult thing for the aromantic spectrum for a long time, because it's kind of ephemereal. Friendship is the same, though, really. Like, what is a friendship? It's going to look and feel completely different for different people. Yet, you personally can generally say when you're friends with someone vs. being an acquaintance. Same with romantic relationships: a person can usually tell when they're romantically attracted to someone, and that's what it takes to be so. For you two, part of that is a sexual attraction, and you won't feel romantic attraction without it, which is fine and fairly common, but definitely not universal. Anyway, the best definition I've seen in the past few years of being in the aro spectrum is this: So if you're going out on a date with someone you met on Tindr, you are trying to get to know the person relatively intimately (over a series of dates, anyway) without having any sort of rapport to serve as a foundation on which to build that intimacy. Romantic attraction, then, is the desire to obtain that intimacy with another person. If the only reason you would want to seek that intimacy is if you want to have sex with the other person, then that's a necessary component to you feeling romantic attraction. An alternate way to look at this definition is as a desire to get to know someone more emotionally intimately than they would a friend. Like, you have your best friends and closest friends and there's a level of emotional intimacy and sharing you have with them, and a romantic relationship would be a level beyond that. You want to have more of an emotional connection with the person, and you want to have more involvement and power to solve emotional issues with that other person than you would with a best friend. This makes a lot more sense for people who would only want to date friends/people they know than for those doing online dating or meeting people at bars, but it still applies to the latter group. One thing this definition doesn't touch on is that romantic attraction generally implies/requires a level of commitment. If you enter a romantic relationship with someone, especially a serious one, you're usually saying you are going to be with this person for a long time and you're going to put in a lot of effort to make sure the relationship keeps going even when both internal and external pressures threaten to break it up. I.e., you'll move with your romantic partner/travel to visit them with some regularity if they move, whereas if you moved to another city solely because your friend did so, that would be kind of weird. So, summary, romantic attraction without sexual attraction is all of the above things, but without wanting to bone them. It's a desire to get to know someone in a deeply emotionally intimate way without a necessary corresponding desire to want to have sex with them. And, again, for some people that doesn't make sense, as the only way they'll have that desire for someone is to want to have sex with them. Everyone feels all attractions (romantic, sexual, platonic, etc.) differently, and understanding that is key to understanding the different types of orientations. Yeah this doesn't make any sense to me lol. This all just sounds like either platonic friendship or sexual attraction

Just ask him to get his balls removed, then you'll be in the same boat LOL

I think it's basically the same thing as friendship

Spectre. 8/10 Though after really thinking about the movie afterwards, it made me like it less in hindsight. It's one of those movies where you just have to shut your brain off to really enjoy it. The ending still bugged me though. Not really a fan of the direction they took with Daniel Craig's Bond

It's probably not that big of a deal lol

Probably. I had good handwriting when I was young but it got worse once I started typing all the time instead of writing

:thumbup:

I'm not saying it's a good law. I'm saying that the law doesn't really affect that guy you're talking about as much as he seems to believe... I mean shit, he even says it himself-- "Do I look like I belong in women's facilities?" How's that for irony?

But you just said he likely wouldn't get caught

If he never gets caught, then is he really being discriminated against?

I don't think it's entirely honest to say he's "forced" to use the female bathrooms. Do you really think he'd ever get "caught" using the male bathrooms?

Idek what to say about that. It's just so wrong I thought liberals were all about protecting women from the evil men of the patriarchy... I guess all of a sudden they trust men again? >_> Some of the people ITT are rambling on about how there's problems with sexual assault in modern society... yet they trust these alleged perpetrators of sexual assault in this context? I feel like I'm missing something here :lol:

I accidentally took a shit in the women's bathroom at Walmart once. Escaping unseen was an adventure

Keep in mind, I don't usually consider a relationship a success, but I consider getting laid whenever you want a success :P

So my gay ex-roommate has been having lots of success w/ the dating apps and gay bars. He'll occasionally discover that some of our mutual friends are secretly gay and tell me about it. Anyways, I've also talked on here before about one of my friends who's tried the dating sites on and off for the past couple of years, but hasn't had any dates or results from it because he doesn't want to follow my advice. Well turns out that friend is actually secretly gay! Everything makes so much sense now! LOL. I really hope he ends up as happy and successful with it as my ex-roommate. He really seemed miserable and frustrated with his dating life.

I'm honestly surprised that professors do this so often. Like, "hey, college students have MOUNTAINS of free time, it's okay to require that they do a ton of assignments and then only grade some of them" Yeah it kinda sounds like the thing a professor on a power trip would do lol

Yes zerkers claim the Monkey Madness defense XP

some super hot girl on POF had a screenshot of her POF inbox with 99+ messages on her profile, showcasing how swamped she is with suitors. soooo I took the pic, replaced all the dude pics with pics of girls, and voila now I have a new profile pic showing how "popular" i am! :twisted: interested to see how this affects my results lol

maybe hedgehog0 was taken

I don't think disingenuous is an accurate word for guys like that. They're just being polite... but I think polite men and sexually frustrated men also generally go hand in hand. But that's where all this nonsense about "Oh, 'nice guys' aren't actually nice; they're just [wagon] that want to sleep with you!" comes from. Uh, every guy wants to sleep with you. Some guys are just too ashamed to admit it and they think they can get laid by pretending to be asexual and liking you for your personality, because that's what you claim to want Still, it is kind of funny watching things go from bad to worse with the nice guys. They're too afraid to be direct so they try and be polite, and then women call them [wagon] for being polite yet they still won't sleep with them. They just can't catch a break, can they? :P Fortune favors the bold...

Yes I, too, have been the victim of a moose attack. Feel free to ask me any questions about it

All of your posts subtly imply that you WANT to be a failure at everything just so you can keep coming back here to say, "SEE?! I told you guys I'm a failure! Looks like I'm right!" >_> If that's the case, yeah you'll probably keep getting the same results if you keep trying to sabotage yourself Like I said earlier, right now you need to focus on just learning and getting experience and dealing with failure/rejection, rather than succeeding.
