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?

    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?

          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.

                in what way did I share a positive view of it???

                I think this is it. The difference between having a ‘type’ (normal) and being ‘black-pilled’ (weird) is the misogyny.

                I said there’s hate for my demographic and SHOWED PROOF, how you trying to say I’m wrong??

                I genuinely don’t understand what you’re trying to say
