Ace Online Dating Kinda Sucks
I recently tried online dating and put "Asexual" in my bio for the first time. Not only could I not find any other ace people but the people who messaged me were really rude about it. I got asked how serious I was about being and if they could "change my mind." I'm not even opposed to dating a non ace person, but I really didn't expect it to be this rough.
One guy just straight up sent a dick pic and asked if I was into it.

For the Aces. Where are you on the Asexual Spectrum?
(P.S. If you're going to vote, you might as well upvote. It helps a lot! )Hi there, this is part of a series of polls I'm conducting across a few Queer subreddits. I'm curious to see the results. Now, Reddit only allows 6 options in a poll, so I had to clump some stuff together. Please be respectful in the comments.

Seriously had someone try to explain to me, an asexual, how asexuality works….

"How do you think a full or queen bed would look in my room?"
Yes. I'm sure most of us at one point have done it - trying to upgrade from a twin or a twin xl to a full or queen size bed. (It's comfier!) Also, it has probably happened when you still live/lived with your parents.
I want one this coming Christmas, and I'm saving up for it beginning now. I'm getting one with drawers underneath and everything, so I will not need my dresser anymore. (Trying to go minimalist, lol!) I am a teenager, and quite an old one for that matter, so of course, most parents will think of something different than comfort when their kid asks them if they can have a bigger bed.
​
Me: "Hey, how do you think a full or queen bed would look/be placed in my room?"
Mom: "Oh my god, you've just started school! And you're way too young!"
Me, looking confused: "Uh...I got a twin bed like 10 years ago...it feels pretty small now, even though I'm not the biggest person."
Mom, looking worried: "You don't need a full bed! That'll take up way too much room!"
Me: "Not really, it will have drawers so I can get rid of my dresser and mount my TV to the wall instead. Remember you even said it would be a good idea to close off the under-bed area because of dust?"
Mom: "I guess you're right -but remember, it's just for you!"
Me, grinning in happiness (with mom looking confused): "Thanks! Perfect!"

Mini rant about something that was said to me today
I’ve never experienced sexual attraction in my life, and the thought of sex makes me feel uncomfortable. I could just be a ‘late bloomer’ (16 as of writing this post) but for now I am using the asexual label because it fits. I was talking to my friend about asexuality and mentioned that it’s still possible to enjoy sex and be asexual. He responded with something to the effect of “how could anyone not like sex?” and I felt kinda invalidated. I don’t know if I’m overreacting but it felt kinda aphobic, it discouraged me from talking about it more to him.

Told my friends that I’m asexual, they made fun of the idea
So a topic of conversation came up that made it so that I told them that I’m asexual, I’ve kept it to myself since I don’t really feel like something that I personally needed to share; but I told them, when I told them they just started laughing a bit, made fun of the idea and just brushed it off
It hurt a bit, like I was a freak of nature; “you’re a man, how can you not like sex?”, I’m feeling a bit down about it, I was hoping that wouldn’t be the reaction whenever I told them

Gender identity?
I'm sure this question has been asked before but I'm genuinely curious.
