    Ace person here. We get mistaken for being prudes, snobs, or arrogant. Or, because we don’t put out, we get a lot of hate from people who are attracted to us even though we won’t reciprocate (or might selectively reciprocate).

    People just can’t fathom the concept of ‘not horny’.

    Too many people hate those who are different. Too many people take personal offense when someone doesn’t care about something they like. They don’t pump out kids for the machine and meat grinder.
