I don't like claiming that people are attention seeking, but in this case I think that might literally be it, something to put in their profile besides straight cisgendered male. Or it may also be young people on the internet being told about it and being like "Oh, hey, im not attracted sexually to just random girls on the street. I must be demisexual!" without really realizing that it's completely normal to think like that.
Speaking of relationships, you're either gonna break up or marry them, so why bother with it when there's so much annoying baggage.
Easier to just have fuckbuddies, less drama.

"ugh, she asked me to marry her. what a drama queen"
anyway the answer to your question is that your fuckbuddies are gonna start disappearing once they find fulfilling relationships with more empathetic men and then you're going to spend the last five decades of your life wondering what happened to all the good women
It kinda seems like the majority of relationships are doomed to either fail or become mere obligations where neither person feels particularly strongly about the other, but they don't want to break it off for a number of reasons (usually something to do with marriage or children).
There's definitely exceptions, but I'd really rather not bother with relationships when they're not likely to last and I don't really like the idea of only loving one person at a time anyways. I don't really care what other people do, though.

Unless the person you fuck doesn't know you're like that and then you leave them emotionally drained because they realize you only wanted them for a quick fuck.
This happened to me and it fucking sucks. I don't do that shit because what this girl did absolutely wrecked me when I realize she wasn't even serious about me.

If you're smart and sincere about it, yes. I totally understand casual sex. The problem is when miscommunication is introduced, or people try to be stupid and move from a serious relationship backwards into casual sex or a polyamorous relationship.
I like TellTale games, or at least I liked A Wolf Among Us. I don't really care about choices not mattering that much in the end, I just want a story I enjoy.
I don't find a lot of scripted events in video games that are made to be visually impressive all that impressive. Maybe that will change with the advent of VR thus giving it depth and a new level of immersion, but as for right now, my reaction to a really tall building blowing up/collapsing/being rammed in to that was so obviously going to do one of those things is just "Meh".

Fuck people who miscommunicate that, like I don't care for relationships but holy shit at least make it clear to people that it's just casual sex.

Gender is, ultimately, a relatively binary thing. You're either male or female. If you're trans you've just transitioned into a different gender.
If people are going to want to start being addressed as that crazy ass 'xir' shit, I demand that my pronouns be changed to 'God-Emperor of Mankind'. (plz respect or check ur PRIVELEDGE!!!!)

[QUOTE=wauterboi;49405082]As my [I]pansexual [/I]friend has explained:
[quote]I think the super-wide acceptance movement, while good in some instances, is awful in others. It invites people with truly ridiculous ideas to think their ideas are okay. Like: Transgender - alright. Gender fluid - okay. Non-gender - hmm, okay. Transspecies - ...no. Transcendental - seriously, no. Transobject - look, quit it. "WE'RE ALL SERIOUS. NO OF US ARE FAKING IT. STOP JUDGING US."[/quote]
You can kind of see how people that try to change what extreme really means on this spectrum by serving as the example are very inventive of problems. I didn't know my friend was pansexual because he didn't think it was really worth saying considering the fact that we're buddies and nothing more than that. That's the sincerity that I think sets apart people like him and people who are trying to give themselves a problem that allows them to condescend, hate, and validate themselves.[/QUOTE]

re: gender
i feel like people here are missing a few important and completely viable genders because they directly reference the binary despite not fitting in with it, at least as far as the term "binary" is concerned etymologically speaking. these genders are agender (neither male nor female identifying) and bigender (similar to gender fluid, but less nebulous. very much a static both-male-and-female identification but not necessarily a 50/50 split). if anyone says anything other than man/woman/agender/genderfluid/bigender they're not describing themselves accurately. and yes i left out trans as a gender cause it's only a descriptor and not an identification. MtF and FtM transgender people don't identify as transgender, they identify as a man or a woman.

That's true only from a mental standpoint, which may or may not matter more depending on who you're talking to. But biologically (which I think is what we're talking about?), there's only male, female, and transgender.

there are no biological genders, only biological sexes which are a lot more rigid and defined by your parts.

Both of these are true, as there are actually 6 (classified) sexes, but I usually leave the other three out because of how rare they are, all of them being basically different shades of hermaphroditus. That is, unless I'm wrong.

rarity is a terrible reason to leave anyone out.
[QUOTE=Qaus;49406687]rarity is a terrible reason to leave anyone out.[/QUOTE]
Maybe. They're the type of rare that some doctors have started wondering whether or not it should be classified as a disorder. Not that I agree, though.

a chromosomal disorder doesn't really count
it'd be like arguing that being born with a cleft palate constitutes a different form of human experience, rather than the preventable medical condition it is.
then again, we'll probably be able to determine the causes of transsexualism before this century is out, which raises the interesting question about if people will do anything to prevent it occurring during development
it's already the case that it's possible to detect klinefelter (the XXY one) syndrome with a prenatal diagnosis, and some people are already starting to abort babies that test positive for it
While we are at the topic gender, what does it bring on the table, what do we gain from the concept gender? If nothing then why don't we just throw it in trash.

It reflects reality for the vast majority of people and can be used as a useful tool to describe things or plan things.
It's useful for making quick sweeping assumptions so that you can make some quick calculations or market towards a specific demographic among other things.
Problem is that people apply it in scenarios where it isn't a good tool which causes mistaken assumptions. When a hammer fails to cut down a tree it's not per se a bad hammer it's simply the wrong tool for the job.
[QUOTE=proch;49405039]Do you hate life[/QUOTE]
Yes, but that's beside the point
To sum it up in the briefest quickest way possible, Dying Light is a game that by all accounts offers little to nothing new, I've seen it and what I saw failed to light a spark in me, it just seemed like a bunch of things that had already been done before assembled in such a way as to accomplish nothing, Watch_Dogs was a game I was barely aware of pre-release and the concept just didn't grip me before the post-release revealed it to be a massive reason why I distrust the games industry, Titanfall I actually own and have played but I just found it heavily disorienting, the graphics don't stand out enough from one another to make it clear what the fuck is going on and the animation for getting in a mech with those appearing screens always left me dizzy, Star Wars Episode VII I am excited for however I'm just as excited for it as I would be for any movie, not the 'crying at movie trailers' level of hype everyone else has been having, Call of Duty Advanced Warfare I was never excited for because I could tell very much before release that it was going to be just another Call of Duty games with the same problems, same repetitive shit, noxious fanbase and overall generic nature slapped with a future skin and it turned out to be exactly that
The Witcher 3 and The Phantom Pain both belong to series' I have little to no experience with and as a result do not engage me although I applaud Witcher 3 for making a great looking world with the kind of color and world design companies like Bethesda need to learn from, I find the Uncharted games boring, the set pieces unimpressive, and Nathan Drake obnoxious, Mad Max the game looks so hard to suffer from the same 'mechanics that have all been done before assembled well and followed by nothing else' as Dying Light and so it doesn't interest me, the entire Ass Creed series is one big romp through a convoluted fucked up lore that is impossible to follow and should really just be abandoned for pure historical setting without all the templar assassin bullshit, plus it should also drop the historical tour where you just happen to see everything important and meet everyone important for that era and focus on say, a random American revolutionary instead
GTA V looks to me to have the best gameplay and world design and all that in the entire series but my big problem lies in the big blanket of lazy satire that isn't intelligent, interesting, or funny, with a main cast of characters that from every single piece of info I see about the game (especially Trevor) look to be absolutely unlikable, which is a huge turn off for me. The New Wolfensteins and Shadow of Mordor just don't strike a chord with me, and I dunno why, they just don't. They look well designed and SoM has a really fucking cool central mechanic but the games themselves just don't interestm e all that much.
If I sound picky, it's because I am. I don't have a lot of money for games so unless a game resonates with me I'm probably not going to get it. My primary characteristics I look for in a game are that it's very replayable, lengthy, or does something that sets it apart from other games, or does something that makes it very important on an artistic level to the medium. I like games that at least attempt a story I can get behind. The kind of games I like are things like Don't Starve, Psychonauts, Grim Fandango, Undertale, Shovel Knight, Crusader Kings 2, Hitman, Hotline Miami, Saint's Row, TES, Fallout, or others.
Girl: Boob and not peen
Boy: Peen and ball dangles
Only sexes.
You are one or the other.
You can't be both that's a disease.
Love who you want and if you feel like you are male or female that is A OK with me.
