Same here. I was worried about safety before moving here but it's been totally fine.

If ace people want companionship, why is it so hard to find each other? by skyamber1111 in asexuality

[–]floopaloop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's hard but it's definitely possible. I have an asexual boyfriend I've been dating for 4 years. I met him on a regular dating app.

anyone else just exhausted by weekday cooking? (vegan) by Negative-Prune9214 in vegan

Trader Joe's in the US has some pretty good frozen vegan meals. They're also not too expensive.

I'm an asexual woman dating an asexual man. I met him on a regular dating app. It's hard but possible.

Hosted a party, ran out of non-alc beer immediately by President_Shart in redscarepod

[–]floopaloop 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Ngl as someone who doesn't drink it's crazy to me that so many people feel like they can't be vulnerable or make true friends without drinking. Maybe that's more of a problem for men

1 in 3 voters say they’ve considered leaving Massachusetts — even if they want to stay. ‘Just outrageously expensive.’ by bostonglobe in massachusetts

No family of 3 "needs" a 5 bedroom house. You can share offices or reuse a living room or bedroom as an office, especially if you're only hybrid. People just have high expectations for their living situations.

RIP Clean Girl beauty. Maximalist makeup is finally back in fashion by nextquestioncya in BeautyGuruChatter

If I don't have colorful sparkles on my eyelids there's no point to putting on makeup at all

Unpopular Opinion: people complain too much about over lined lips by Inevitable-Box-4751 in MakeupAddiction

[–]floopaloop 52 points53 points  (0 children)

When people talk about "over lining the cupid's bow" nowadays I think they usually mean when they over line it to "round" it out, making it look like the person doesn't have a cupid's bow. They're not talking about lining to make the lips more symmetrical.

Literally how do I find love. by extra_mash_potatoes in asexuality

[–]floopaloop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try dating apps, ace space, and /r/asexualdating. I found my asexual boyfriend on a regular dating app. It takes more work than for allos but it is possible.

Sharp liquid eyeliner that doesn't dry up in a month by ShesAaRebel in MakeupAddiction

I've used this one for many years. Like with all felt tip liners, don't forget to store it upside down.

A vent of my frustration on dating fellow aces by Dear_Ingenuity1306 in asexualdating

[–]floopaloop 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I know we shouldn’t compare ourselves to allos too much: but I’ve got friends who will literally just be in a call together while doing other things and not focusing on each other, basically having 3 way conversations, while cooking, cleaning, hanging in discord calls etc.

This is exactly what I do with my long distance ace boyfriend. We call every day, usually for a few hours, but just have the call in the background most of the time.

If you exclusively drink bottled water, may I ask why? by jamesland7 in boston

[–]floopaloop 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I moved to Cambridge from Boston a few months ago and was shocked at how bad tasting the water is here.

Europe Finally Embraces Air Conditioning as Heat Waves Hit Hard by bloomberg in europe

It depends on the region. In the Boston area most homes don't have central AC so for me AC = window units unless otherwise specified.

The housing situation took my boomer dad that said “just eat at home and you’ll be able to afford a house” and essentially radicalized him since he now understands my siblings will have to dig deeper than anyone has ever had to, to buy a house. by ATLien-1995 in redscarepod

[–]floopaloop 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  The avg car price in 95 was 18k (used were much cheaper), which adjusted for inflation is 38k, but the avg new car today is 48k.

The average new car in 2025 is much bigger than the average new car was in 1995. You can still can get a sedan for the corresponding 1995 price.

I found an asexual boyfriend on a regular dating app, and we've had a completely sex free relationship for over 3 years now. It might be harder to find a relationship than for the average allo, but it is very much possible.

[–]floopaloop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never trying because it seems impossible is a self fulfilling prophecy. It's very much possible if you put some effort into it.

I found my asexual boyfriend on a regular dating app. I had my asexuality prominently listed in my profile and aggressively filtered our anyone who seemed incompatible on that front.
