The best analogy for aros who like math

Consider ℝ², the real coordinate plane, and ℂ, the complex plane.

Every number in ℂ can be written in the form a + bi, where a and b are elements of ℝ², and i, the imaginary number, is an element of ℂ.

As you can see, elements in the complex plane consist of both real and imaginary parts. But elements in the real plane have only real parts and no complex/imaginary parts.

So, how does this relate to aromanticism?

Let's consider platonic vs romantic attraction. For me and many other aros, we don't experience romantic attraction. And for most allos, they experience both romantic and platonic attraction.

So what if platonic attraction was the real plane and romantic attraction was the complex plane. This would suggest that people in ℝ² experience only platonic attraction but have no grasp of what romantic attraction feels like. This also shows how allos in ℂ experience both platonic and romantic attraction, given how complex numbers contain both real and imaginary parts.

This is probably a massive oversimplification and I know this doesn't account for aplatonic and loveless aros but this analogy really helped me grasp why I don't get romantic attraction.

And so, my username is Latin: haesi perpetuo in ℝ².

Forever stuck in ℝ².

It's not like I'm unhappy about not feeling romantic attraction but I just want to know how most other people feel. It's hard being left in the dark because my brain decided that it didn't want to experience it. But, such is life and this is the start of me accepting who I am.

TIL the emperor Julian wrote a fanfic satire about previous emperors + Alexander the Great competing in a contest during Saturnalia

It's called The Caesars and he really dunks on Constantine I for doing Christian stuff

What does “ Amemus non amatorum sed amicorum fiendorum causa” mean

thanks for asking!

it's Latin for 'let us love not for the sake of love but for the sake of being friends'

100% agree. I’ve been translating Taylor Swift lyrics for fun for months now, even writing certamen questions from them!

Nobody wants to learn Latin by reading about masters beating their slaves. Looking at you Cambridge Latin Course.

Students should be introduced to a concept, and then have the creativity to go write their own sentences about whatever appeals to them using said concept.

Creativity in school. What a revolutionary concept.
