The History of Aromanticism

17th Century: The Golden Orchid Society in South China creates self-combing women- women who would wear their hair they way married women would to say they were not available. The women did not want to have sexual/romantic partners.

1970s: Dorothy Tennov wrote about non-limerent people in her book, Love and Limerence: The Experience of Being in Love. Limerence is a (now) outdated term for feeling romantic attraction. She and other theorists recognized that romantic and sexual love may not be linked.

non-limerent was an early terms for aromantic people.

2005: the term aromantic was coined by the asexual visibility and education network.

2008/9: the term aromantic became more widespread.

The origional flag:

Green, because it is the opposite of red, the most commonly associated romance color.

Yellow, representing platonic love, because yellow roses represent friendship.

Orange, for grayromantics, because it is in between red and yellow.

And black, representing alloromantics that "reject traditional ideas of romance".

This flag was later changed because it closely resembled the Rastafarian flag, and because it had a stripe representing alloromantics

the flag went through a few more stages before settling on the one we use today.

If I knew where to find the clothes I want and I found reference images of the hair I want, I'd look like a genderfluid mix of Richie Tozier and Stanley Uris. I want curly black hair, with some different colours mixed in too, and I love button up shirts with weird patterns and bright colours and flared jeans. I would look amazing... and nerdy.

Richie “I thought blondes were supposed to be dumb” Tozier and Stan “and I thought people with glasses were supposed to be smart” Uris.

Ft. Eddie just laughing at Richie’s stupidity.
