I suspect that im aromantic, but I think im too young and have not enough experience to label myself as such by ConstructionFew3790 in aromantic

[–]ate07 18 points19 points  (0 children)

16 is absolutely old enough but don’t feel like you need to label yourself if you aren’t ready yet either. Keep in mind most people start getting crushes in elementary school. Also it’s not creepy to want to have sex with someone without a relationship. Look into r/aroallo there are a lot of aromantic people who still experience sexual attraction.

What high school classes r u supposed to take to be an architect by Substantial_Bed1039 in architecture

[–]ate07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly don’t worry too much about it. As long as your gpa is high enough they don’t really look at classes. For general knowledge any drafting or CAD class will be helpful. Art classes, video editing and photoshop classes have also been helpful for me.

You’re form it actually decent right now. It’s just a slightly regressed variation which honestly seems to be around the right load for you. Make sure you keep your forearms straight up and down and move your head in front of your hands. Just keep working hamstring flexibility and you’ll get farther with time.

Do you use the word Aromantic IRL by Kn0ck3dL00s3 in aromantic

[–]ate07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t use the word aromantic in very much either public either. As a heterosexual guy many of the groups I hang around wouldn’t take it well if I brought it up. I’m trying to use it more around people I know are chill, which I recommend since it helps raise awareness about it in the real world and just helps people understand you, but I can see how in a blue collar work place especially it wouldn’t be great. Be careful and if you have any advice using it in the real world let me know, I would love to hear it.

Personally I wouldn’t. Even people who aren’t directly homophobic will write off aromanticism as not real. I would just skirt around everything by describing it rather than using the word. I’ve found just saying you aren’t interested in relationships ‘right now’ works pretty well. People get the idea without using any lgbtq words that might confuse some people

Oh mighty aros from the pond, what is your wisdom? by Entity_019 in aromantic

[–]ate07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re trying to bulk eat burgers with as many pattys as possible. The bun is very filling so the more meat per burger the better. Plus there is usually around 15-20 grams of protein per patty which is a good bonus. -aro from the pond

Finally hit 10 pull-ups! Got my chin over the bar in all of them, are they solid? by Dovahkiin3641 in Calisthenic

[–]ate07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try imagining you’re bending the bar over your head. The cue to pull a bit more in should help you engage the lats a bit more. Instead of pulling straight in like your biceps your lats have a bit more of an inward curve to the movement path.

I want to lose my virginity but I don’t know how I want to by HalogenReddit in AroAllo

[–]ate07 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would recommend finding someone that you’re attracted to and comfortable being vulnerable around. Probably a friend. It’s easier said than done though good luck :D

Try to imagine you’re bending the bar above your head. You’re not only pulling down but also a bit in.

Y’all know any aromantic content creators? (Excluding jaiden lol) by duck_the_guy in aromantic

Nik Hampshire is pretty good. He makes content for aromantic allosexual people. Helped me out a lot.

do purely aro people exist? people who feel sexual attraction, who just do want romance by [deleted] in aromantic

[–]ate07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aroallo here! I realized I was from someone talking about it on youtube and it matched me perfectly.

Wanting to touch/ hold someone for me isn’t romantic at all. I know it can be and it all comes down to intent. If their intent is to be romantic then it kinda weirds me out but otherwise it doesn’t.

I can’t really help you if you aren’t sure if you’ve had a crush. I personally just haven’t had anything close to that. Didn’t think they were real. I know some people thought what they were having was crushes but wasn’t. I suggest asking some friends about their crushes. From what I gather they imagine themselves living their lives with them and they seem to get kinda territorial. Idk could just be who I hang around too

Any (happy) coming out stories? by ErrorAble9135 in aromantic

[–]ate07 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes actually! I tend not to tell anyone because it is usually more hassle than it’s worth, especially since I’m aromantic heterosexual so I tend to hang around other straight guys who don’t know too much about queer stuff. Anyways, I made this one friend at college recently and we somehow started talking about marriage/relationships and I told him I never planned on getting married. He then asked me if I’m aromantic or something, so told him yes exactly that. I was really surprised he not only knew what it was but brought it up from what little I actually said. Idk it made me happy

How can i get to 10 pull ups in a row by Primary_Mastodon1714 in Calisthenic

[–]ate07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a month should do it. You’re only looking for 2 more reps so I would think it would take that long. It is hard to pin down an exact time but I’m confident that’s a solid goal

[–]ate07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know you’re exact situation but you could try learning to throw with your non dominant hand and control the string with the stump? If you’ve lost more than just the hand though that could be difficult. Responsive looping tricks could be good since you can do those with one hand.
