But there's also no need not to tell people, and with all the heteronormativity flying around, it can be nice to break people's false assumptions of yourself.
you're right, there isn't a need to not tell people, but most people with common sense don't care what loveuality you are. at least, they shouldn't imho, unless they want to know that specific information.
so, if that's why you feel that way about aloveual people, you must also feel the same way about gay people? they just haven't found the right girl or the right boy for them.
homoloveuality is more common than aloveuality. there's still
loveuality going on there.
or maybe they just want to seem special
wanting to feel special is fine, but you generally don't tell everyone what love you're attracted to or stretch the truth to achieve that feeling.
Yes it does? If I'm not hetero or homoloveual, what else am I supposed to call myself?? I'm not bi or pan because i still don't like either one??
aloveuality can still be called a "loveuality", i'm not denying that it exists. it's just most people claiming to be aloveual aren't
actually aloveualAnd, despite it technically not being a religion, Atheism is still considered one. Aloveuality works the same way. If you look at the definition of loveuality (a person's loveual orientation or preferences), then I can say I have "No Preference," be my preference.
atheism is defined as the lack of belief in a deity, not the lack of faith in a certain religion. buddhism could be a potential example. the rest of this makes sense, but isn't really relevant imho. see above.
I disagree. I think it's important for people to be able to label themselves in the way that describes them best. After all, you wouldn't want to end up with, say, a gray-ace if you enjoy having love often. The person may feel, also, that they are mostly aloveual. I don't really see the point in disagreeing, either. There's still only 5 loveualities, which isn't that much and covers anything I can really think of.
not wanting to have love =/= aloveuality. you can still have a libido present and just not want to have love.
loveuality is not a big part of day-to-day conversation. if people want to know your loveuality, they'll ask, otherwise that sort of information does not need to be given. not that a lot of people really care about what your loveuality is as i've stated before, but if you go around telling people "hey guys i'm aloveual i don't have love" you'll probably come off as a prick or just plain weird.
Also, I may be recalling the exact stuff wrong, but aloveuals still have healthy, normally functioning libidos, which makes it different from Hypoloveuality disorder. It just isn't aroused by anything, and I'm sure it's similar for gray people.
i can't really respond to this; i said pretty much the opposite above and if i push this it's just your word against mine.
also, panloveuality is essentially being able to find anyone loveual without limitations of gender. it's literally saying "i don't care what loveuality you are, as long as i find you to be a person i would like to hve a loveual relationship with". it can be called another form of bi if you really want to think about it, but there are differences (which don't really matter).
