Guys don't seem to like seeing girls wearing (real) swimsuits

I didn't really choose to be an asexual, it just sort of happened.  If you'd like to be less confused, I guess I could try and explain it to you, though I only have a vague understanding of it myself. 

ClockworkUniverse

^^I'm pretty sure we've talked about this before at some point... Maybe it's just deja vu.

randomtropeloser

Sorry, I haven't been here that long, so yeah.

DYRE

Considering like half of TVTropes is asexual (LOLHYPERBOLE), I'm sure we've had this discussion before.

Doesn't necessarily mean we can't have it again though.

ClockworkUniverse

@DYRE:Yeah, but I mean just on IJBM II.

randomtropeloser

Whatevs.  Sorry if I was redundant.  The offer to explain myself still stands, but yeah.

Tnophelia

Most of the asexuals who tried to explain it to me came off to me as "I give up on romance/sex", so I never really understood it or translated it beyond that.

I understand some people are born with their attractions. Some are gay, straight, both, or neither. As are fetishes.

Although I made every choice when it came to orientation and fetishes, I wasn't born with anything.

If I went into the world based on Factory Settings, I would be a homosexual catholic girl with a more introvert personality, no fetishes, and a timid personality.

randomtropeloser

I never said I gave up on romance, I'm actually biromantic, I just don't think physical attraction has any meaning if there isn't something more involved.  And yeah, like you said, you're born with some attractions and gain others later in life, though it's more difficult to choose them for some people than it is for others.

DYRE

-wonders what would happen if he reset himself to factory default settings-

And I don't think I've ever consciously chose any... things I'm attracted to.

Tnophelia

It's possible DYRE, you just have to know what your factory settings were and be willing to revert back to them. Some people are stuck into the mindset that they can never change certain aspects of their person, so they just live with them.

ClockworkUniverse

Any guesses on my factory settings?

randomtropeloser

Hmm.  I wasn't aware that people could really change what they are/aren't attracted to without some serious mental repression.  I may need to look into that.  (Please note I'm not being sarcastic, this is honestly a subject that interests me.)

Yay! bonding!

randomtropeloser

Yes, bonding is the best!  After we've shared facts about each other, we can talk about each other's facts!  And afterward, tree house!

ClockworkUniverse

Bonding is awesome.

But I still feel weird that I can't think of my fetishes right now. I know I have them.

Tnophelia

I mostly tried to list things that would be important online but slipped a bit (nobody really cares how you are doing financially or if you have a tan or 5 o'clock shadow I think).

That reminds me, are there any furries on the forum?

Because I am not sure if I am one (although I do not consider my liking for snake/spider people a type of lifestyle)

randomtropeloser

Political View: Super-liberal, apparently
Emotional Stability: Very low, but better than when I was younger
Morality: I don't know, uh...Chaotic Neutral?
Demeanor: CRAZY AND ENERGETIC. Or, as I described it, "like a little kid who's eaten 3 packs of candy canes."

Tnophelia

After seeing a picture floating somewhere on this very forum which was very funny, and finding a few groups of them on different forums (even the Minecraft forum), they seem to mention "the porn" at least once, and saying it is a major lifestyle, sort of like being a jew or christian.

And then they lost me there.

randomtropeloser

I don't know, I've heard it can be fairly innocent at times.  Did I mention said friend was a Christian?

Tnophelia

I guess if I was to describe my morality as an alignment, it would be Chaotic Evil or Chaotic Neutral, in the most legal and less homicidal way possible.

randomtropeloser

Really?  You don't strike me as evil, really, but then I try to see the good in everyone.

ClockworkUniverse

You've never seemed evil to me either.

yay for mindless surveys

Tnophelia

I just don't understand how wishing you had cat-ears and liking a certain artstyle defines a religious boundary and puts it on the same level as a biblical viewpoint, it's my main half-gripe about them.

Since I can't say anything towards attention whoring since I do everything they tend to do anyway, and neglect to see anything wrong with it. I shouldn't be hated for being noticed by more people.
