    I’ve seen this posted in the past.

    I still don’t know which video he was watching… :(

      For real. I was made to feel like I was broken for so long because it turns out I’m Ace. My ex had me convinced for years that I was being emotionally neglectful and abusive because I wasn’t horned up for her basically 24/7 and would start huge screaming fights any time I had the audacity to say “No” to her advances for literally any reason. Then she’d go completely cold on me for days sometimes weeks at a time.

      But it was all my fault because I wasn’t “Making her feel desired enough” or whatever. She eventually pretended to be poly to Monkey Branch to one of my friends. That was fun.

      Also it’s a pretty transparent desperate attempt at some attention, and the internet’s natural response whenever anybody does something like that, is to deny it.

    I’ve commented on this before, she needs to learn to communicate her desire and not just assume her being in her underwear instantly communicates “I want sex.”

    Like, sure, if he saw her in her underwear and understood this was her way of communicating that and he is still not going for it maybe there is an issue. But by default there is no way to know that is what their relationship is like.

      Yeah, I’ve had exes where them being in their underwear meant they wanted to have sex. It also meant they were just getting ready for bed and weren’t the slightest bit interested. If I was in bed watching a video on my phone it means I’ve already broached the subject and been shot down. I’m not going to make an attempt again just because she took her clothes off. She’s going to need to actually communicate if she changed her mind.

    Real talk: A lot of hey-this-will-be-awesome sword making documentaries on YouTube have gotten to where they’re trying to sell them.

    That’s not what I’m about. I don’t care about your side hustle. I care about your interest is veering into a passion that goes a bit beyond what is acceptable in polite society.

    I Don’t know how far a halberd would penetrate into a 2019 GMC Yukon. That’s what I’m about. That’s what the world needs.

      There’s an xkcd hover text that really captures some of my feelings about people and their interests/passions:

      I never trust anyone who’s more excited about success than about doing the thing they want to be successful at.

      This is an underlying filter for whether someone else’s passion strikes me as interesting. I need a level of authenticity in the people who I interact with on any given topic.
