Bit idea.
It would be so funny
Ambiguity over definitions is the lifeblood of struggle sessions
It's kind of unfair to assume the person who said they aren't romantically interested is being "ambiguously attracted."
The people arguing from that perspective aren’t talking about relationships where someone’s been rejected or even necessarily would be rejected if they tried. That’s kind of my point. People are talking about very disparate things and calling them the same name.
Then that's also ambiguous and doesn't really do the concept/meme of "friendzone" as a bad thing many favors.
No, like, i don’t think they’re talking about the person being asked as being the one being emotionally ambiguous- they’re talking about the person doing the asking. It’s emotionally ambiguous to ask someone out and then have them say they just want to be friends.
It’s possible to be friends from then on but it’s difficult and definitely ambiguous.
Giving this a bump because the extremes have widened.
It is now “the OP is mocking anyone who’s ever experienced unrequited love” vs “anyone complaining about this post feels entitled to women’s bodies”.
Post machine go brrrrr
Did some one say.... extreme?
Why can't everyone just get along with each other?
I consider myself a radical centrist on the wacky axis
