That Isn't To Say Dating Or Being In Qprs Or Having Really Strong Platonic Feelings Is Bad - Tumblr Posts

As someone who rlly wants a qpr, a life partner, and the life society ‘expects’ me to have, it’s irritating to know that I’m both the ‘wrong’ type of aro and the aro that our romance obsessed society is comfortable with. Like, both ways it sucks????? I’m not compensating for my aromanticism, I just want to hug and kiss someone and get tax benefits??? Like, I’m cupioromantic so I DO want the butterflies in my stomach romance, but also I understand that I just want a bestie for life that I can live with. It’s hard to explain, but, like, let people exist in peace??? Sexuality is a spectrum for a reason. Someone can be aro allo or allo ace, and both labels are valid?? So are homeromantic bisexuals but that’s another rant…

Point is, let partnering aromantics and non-partnering aros exist and peace unless you want to be friends

And DON’T insinuate aro allos are gross/ derogatory words for promiscuous that I’m not gonna use/ sex addicts

YOU ARE VALID NO MATTER WHAT

People really need to stop talking about aromantic people in such a way to suggest we need to, like, make up for our lack of romantic attraction? This ties into the whole "aromantic people can still date" and "aromantic people can have qprs" and "aromantic people still feel strong platonic love" pattern I keep seeing where it's as if people are trying to say "don't worry, they can still be mostly normal" and it is so frustrating to me as a non-partnering aromantic person and is likely even worse for aplatonic and loveless aros.
