An interest in dogs. I really dislike them as far as having to live with one which makes dating literally impossible. Using dating sites over the years I've seen probably 80%+ profiles mention loving dogs, needing dogs, stealing your dog, owning all the dogs, some profiles even start with "blah blah dog."
I hate that there's such an obsession with dogs and travel... :(
Regular fucking eyesight
I'm not even asking for 20/20, I'm asking for eyesight that can be fixed by LASIK
The desire to have sex? Sure would make relationships easier.
I understand this well. Spent a few decades in dysfunctional relationships rooted in my lack of sexual desire. Happily married to another ace woman today, where sex is only ever suggested as part of joke and we've never even came close. She is liberating, freeing, incredible and safe.
Yet I still hold a lot of guilt from previous partners who spent time thinking something was wrong with them or I was cheating because I always made "not tonight" excuses for several years straight. It wasn't fair to either of us, but my lack of introspection, self-honesty and fear of being alone kept us years of strife.
Things are wonderful now, no complaints but GAWD a lot of heart ache could've been avoided if I had a *normal" sex drive.
I'm ace in a demi relationship, but I'm NGL, it's still hard. I'm suuuuper glad sex isn't the focus of our relationship and we've been going strong for a while, but it does also add complexity
The thing that gets people to get out of the house and do things with other people.
Not like a vehicle, or transportation but the other thing
I'm a shut-in and I'll say it doesn't help living in a sparse area with only a bike*. I usually just ride on the trail to a very close bridge, sometimes I go to the closest town over and buy a few things from the produce section from the local grocery store and that's it.
Admittedly, I probably still wouldn't be very social in a denser place (money, but also other issues).
* I don't want to drive, though lots of ditches around here and there is no north/south trail. So it is a factor.
Oh I got one of those too i need the thing that gets me out of the house. Like a thing that makes me leave the house to go do
Functional parents.
Mine are 80, and due to a lifetime of terrible decisions and this shitty country, are driving for DoorDash, in the car I "loaned" to them a year ago.
I love them, but it'll be nice when the funeral comes, because at least it'll be the last time they use me as an ATM.
I'm here with you. I've spent the last two years no contact with mine and undoing the damage they caused to me and my kid. The worst part is, they weren't always like this and I'll have to mourn the death of who they were long before I mourn the death of who they are.
I’ll have to mourn the death of who they were long before I mourn the death of who they are.
I've actually used almost this same exact phrase with one of my siblings who is also one of the "dependable ones". The versions of my mom and dad I loved the most are long dead already.
An inner voice. My wife and son both talk about options and choices like they've discussed things with another person.
I have to go with plan A. There is no second thought.
Total aphantasia? Same here, but:
No intrusive thoughts, ever.
No visions of, or reliving, trauma.
No sad-memory sounds or tastes.
No facades, so no energy wasted.
And if you got the SDAM bonus, you can re-discover all your favorite books and movies like you never read or watched them before!
OMG. There's a name for it? I have ALL THAT OTHER STUFF!!!
I'm so happy you posted, I'm going deep dive tomorrow!
Stereo vision
Handwriting or drawing ability beyond that of a 6yo
The ability to follow a conversation with more than about 4 people in the room, and for crowd noise not to flip into a gibbering hellscape.
Being able to eat gluten. So many things have wheat and thus gluten. Soy sauce? Check. Dumpling wrappers basically everywhere in Japan? Check (more flexible and easier to work that pure rice flour). Tons of sauces? Check. Salad dressings? Check (sometimes via soy sauce in Japan).
A body that isn't rapidly degrading before I'm even 30.
I had a couple more grocery store stops to make tonight but decided to go home instead because my body hurts and i wanted to stop moving for a while.
Granted, I am fat and sedentary
a functioning democracy
Hah, that's hard to come by for MOST people! I'm not even sure Norway is actually a democracy!
Two things, I have horrible vision, wear -9 glasses. And I am autistic and have a very difficult time navigating many social interactions, I would love to not have to deal with either of these.
Energy
Hypothyroid?
Nah fibromyalgia, life is hell
Moderately good health.
