So I had gotten a message a while back about talking about the perks about being asexual. As in, not dating wise and things associating with that. So I decided to make a post about all the pros about being ace because.... why not?
- more time for friends (not dating)
- there's a chance to explore with what you want to do and don't have to have anyone hold you back
- Having a more open perspective on dating and relationships-- not taking social expectations, norms as roles as given but challenging them and figuring out what's truly best for you.
- Lots of extra time hidden away in little chunks across your lifetime (and possibly even more if you're aromantic)
- Much lower chance of coming down with an STD
- the cake
- more money for yourself so you don't have to spend on a significant other so you don't have to support them (unless they're family or something)
- have the liberty of doing what you want without checking in on anyone
- more focused on things that interest you
- young teens in high school trying to live a religiously conservative lifestyle, was made easier without that "temptation"
- literally anything else
Cons
- mothers who want grandchildren
- people always, somewhere, being rude or mean
- people assuming you haven't met the right person yet
- Any time you care deeply about a friend, people think you are in denial of a crush or homosexual feelings
- if you want to be in a relationship, good luck finding one who is either also asexual or likes you romantically or is okay with the fact you're like that and will accept it
- possibly lonely
- and people assuming you're overly religious
