The aparomantic flag

The inability to feel romantic attraction because you can't bring yourself to care enough. Alternatively, because you can't care about people themselves.

You can't feel that way, but could go either way when it comes to participating in a relationship.

The aparomantic flag and its meaning.


It is VERY similar to aromantic, but just with a different drive. Instead of being unable to feel romantic attraction, you CAN'T feel romantic attraction because you don't/can't care about people. This is typically wrapped in with the asexual variant (apasexual). It can also extend to platonic feelings, as, again, this stems from not caring about people.

The stripes in order from top to bottom mean:

Apathy towards romance/romantic relationships. Essentially the inability to care for romance.

A 6 striped flag that showcased a gradient from a dark reddish-orange to an off-white green.

Freedom to participate in romantic relationships even if they cannot reciprocate.

History[]

Aparomantic and it's variants (Apasexual and Apa-aroace) were coined on July 30th 2024 by TikTok user Boinurmom13 and fandom wiki user Floweryassistant13. The reason for it's creation was frustration with both finding labels that fit the creator and those that related, as well as the watering down of the term "Aroace" due to misconceptions online.
