If someone wants to give up dating due to their looks, age or genetics (that includes mental state) that’s a totally valid reason if you ask me. As long as it doesn’t translate to misogyny no one will get hurt. However a lot of people seem to be ticked off by this idea, why?
Huh? I’ve literally never once heard anyone criticize people who choose to be single or asexual. What are you talking about? You gotta go outside and touch grass man. Get off the Internet for a while.
there’s a TON of hate/distrust for asexual people. “you are just ugly” “you just haven’t met the right person” “why are you celebrating that you don’t have sex? that’s weird” etc.
What kind of conversations are you having with people that would respond like this where they’re learning about how much sex or not-sex you’re having?
literally any Instagram post about asexuality
If you’re posting on the internet in a broadcast form (just as Instagram) about deeply intimate details of your life, you should not generally expect heartfelt nuanced discussion. You’re going to get short attention span pithy responses (as your example shows) or harsh reactionary responses from fringe minority positions (also as your example shows).
Those are internet responses. Those are not representative of real life. This is what the prior poster was telling you.
I’ve heard these in real life too, I just can’t show proof of that
You first.
It’s about the reason for choosing to be single. When you talk about how you won’t date anymore because of your looks, people will take exception to that.
Yeah… Because that’s not healthy at all.
It can be healthy if it helps you get in shape.
If the only reason you get healthy is for someone else I would argue that’s still not healthy
Yo are you here for answers or just to debate everyone and be all confrontational?
I think you know the answer to that.
Stopping dating because of looks sounds misogynistic. It implies all women are superficial, which is simply not true. I know several cases of men that could be seen as ugly for different reasons, who had no problem to find a partner thanks to their personality.
Well personally I think all people are secretly superficial in that regard. Both men and women, whether they’re aware or not.
That’s the problem, people are very diverse. Look around yourself for examples of couples (in real-life, not online), and I’m sure you’ll find many examples of “ugly” people of all genders being in happy relationships. I know a guy with a facial deformation in relationship with a beautiful woman, I know a seriously fat couple. The forever single people I know mostly have severe mental or personality issues.
That’s because that’s how you see the world. It’s hard for you to comprehend someone else not thinking the same way you do.
