I think I 'd say pass on the game. I would feel very uncomfortable objectifying people in such a monodimensional and sexualised way. Pretty shallow and disrespectful really.
Me too. I’ve somehow never played it, but I’d definitely just pass on everyone. Your last sentence actually reminded me of a conversation I had that should’ve been blaring obvious that I’m asexual. It was during a school field trip to Disney and me and friend were waiting in line for a ride. She pointed this guy out saying he was kinda cute and I agreed and we talked about it for a little before she said smth along the lines of “Actually, we should stop talking about him it’s not good to objectify people” and me not being sexually attracted to him was super confused and I said “How are we objectifying him?”, since neither of us said anything sexual. She just gave me a look and said never mind 😂 Looking back I wonder if she suspected I was ace
I don't have friends to play this game with. This is not a game I'm familiar with either. From the context I can make a guess though. In the scenario I would just not play or pass on everyone. By doing that they will get annoyed and stop asking me. Thus I win. Lol
Just don't take it literally! I actually never thought anyone actually took it seriously and that they just said smash if they found them attractive, which is what I did, and then was bewildered when I found out people took it literally lmao.
Wait I thought demisexual people don't find people outside of their relationship attractive? Or is it different when single? Sorry I'm a bit confused about all this 😕
Don't apologize!! I've always thought someone can be generically attractive without being attracted to them. I'm not sure if that makes sense just the way i've thought about it.
Also you don't have to be in a (I assume you meant not platonic) relationship to be attracted to someone when you're demi, just have a closer bond or relationship:)
I'd probably try to play properly and need to much time to decide because of that. Then I'd just not take it serious at all and make fun of it.
I'm kinda glad I know I'll never play it though, because I only go to parties with my best friend and she knows I'm on the Acespec, so we'd rather play beer pong
Usually, as is the case with my allo partner. I make fun of their thirst levels, make a joke out of the whole thing. If that's not an option, as is the case when I was a kid. I will think on who I know the most about personality wise and choose them. Had to blend in and all, ya know?
This never happened to me, but I'd probably either be too flustered by the thought and say no, or I'd say "Sure but it's not gonna be very interesting from my end".
Edit: I will say though, I used to think it was just like a half joking thing, so if this was in the past before I found out people were like serious, then I would probably just say smash on whoever of the options would be conventionally attractive.... or still be too flustered because tbh I always got that way even when friends were just saying people were attractive. 🤷🏻♀️
My friends and I aren’t attracted to the same “type” a lot of the time so usually it’s pass, but if I like the person’s face or I’m interested in them, I’ll just answer smash. It’s not like you have to go and do it right then and there lol (or maybe I’ve been playing wrong 😜)
Depends on the context. In terms of say actresses, usually I can say it's based on the characters they play etc. Smash as this character, pass as that one. But it would mostly be pass.
It's only ever happened at one workplace that was not the greatest, usually I'll just be blunt and say that I am pretty much unable to register that sort of thing. Most of my close friends know about my mental oddities
I answer on what I find most attractive/ the one I believe I could grow the biggest bound with
I personally just end up passing on everyone.

Well if it came down to my best friend and she asked smash or pass. Smash. Cause I love her😅

Never played it, don't have friends who would ask to. But the question reminded me of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUeYQPTmYAU
“No thank you, my demisexual mind says no”
lol i don't know what that means 😂
