There's actually too little cheese lady content on the timeline

Thing is, sex is not a privilege. If you - as someone in such a situation as OP - can't accept that, you are in danger of growing.. hateful views.

No one is entitled to sex, I agree. But in a relationship, you are allowed to make clear what your needs are and move on if those needs aren't being met. It's not entitlement to know what you want. Having a 'dead bedroom' is why a lot of relationships end.

I don't want to become such a person, and it's clear that it's not their fault that they are not attracted to me. Realizing this helped me accept it.

If I may ask, was there any physical attraction between you two when you met?

I'm not denying that ace spectrum people have relationships and settle down as well. But OP is asking about the normative (read allosexual) experience and explicitly mentions physical attraction.

The vast majority of relationships will involve physical attraction and sex. It's highly unusual for that to not be the case for allosexual people. That's not a value judgement—if a minority of allo people find something else works for them, then that's great. But if OP is asking if this is normal, then no it's not. Even 'less attractive' people, as OP put it, find people they're attracted to enough to enjoy a lifetime of intimacy and sex with.

Overcoming a lack of physical attraction is a pretty big barrier and I can't see most people overcoming that barrier just to 'settle down.' Not being your physical ideal is one thing, most of us settle down with people who don't look like models or actors, but finding someone physically unattractive is a tough sell in most cases.

If you don't find someone physically attractive, how do you settle down with them? Do you just accept getting into bed with someone you're physically repulsed by every night?

Trump is the most dangerous figure in American politics. He's a demagogue, and a fascist insurrectionist. It's certainly arguable that he's saying 'we'll rig future elections so Christians always get their way' because we know that's what he has already tried to do and what he will undoubtedly do again if given the chance.

But it's equally arguable that he's saying 'we'll have the country fixed over four years, so Christians won't need to even bother voting again.' I've watched the video a few times and I think if you listen to his stilted speech it's clear he's doing his con artist/salesman schtick and saying 'believe me I'll fix your country so good you won't need another President.' Not to say that this doesn't also betray his anti-Democratic views, but I don't think this quote is the gotcha that everyone seems to think it is

I'm sorry but she says enough here about the machinations of the donor-class that makes me think someone absolutely heinous is being lined up to take Biden's place

"Autistically smart"?? There are many words in the English language that describe extreme/unusual intelligence. There's no need to perpetuate stereotypes just to do so

No one has it easy when it comes to dating. It's arguable that women can find casual sex easier, but finding people who love you for who you are is equally difficult for everyone.

This post is celebrating when people manage to overcome that and making incel comments just spoils the mood for everyone

Vox did a video about 8 years ago on this happening.

I think pop music frequently pulls from more esoteric influences. It's almost inevitable because the people who produce music are music fans themselves

I can still hear this in George's voice
