Re: OP: life is not The Sims

It's a joke, but I think it's based on the original line that "Most people seem to find each other more appealing or attractive or sexy with more information or intimacy, not the opposite", because it kind of sounds like "if you spend more time with people, your relationship points go up!" which is how Sims work. Like, that's the part that I think is confusing people, not the "asexual in a relationship" part.

Honestly...I'm not really sure what you're looking for and I don't think you're gonna find an answer here.

Ah, that line was supposed to be about how as you get more intimate with people, the more you find them attractive. Not about spending time and earning Relationship Points.

...I get what you were trying to say, but the reason I and others found it odd is that it's just not true. People lose interest in each other all the time, even as they get closer. In fact, sometimes you don't realize how much you don't like or aren't attracted to a person until you get to know each other (and I'm not saying that you personally don't like the person this post is about, it's just a general example). So, when you said "it's like this for most people", it sounded a little odd. Time + Closeness does not always = Attraction in real life, but usually does in video games. Does that make sense?

That makes sense. I wouldn't know. I was just going by what most people I've seen were saying, like them being more attracted to their partners and spouses over time due to increased intimacy, and sex with their partner being different from sex with random people.

On second thought, it may be due to my peers being older than the average FSer who hasn't hit the long term and marriage stages yet.

A lot more goes into that than time. It's true that sex is often better with a committed partner than with random people, but that also has to do with the two people being experienced together, knowing each other's bodies, knowing what the other likes, and trusting each other.

That makes practical sense to me. I hear more about the intimacy and love type stuff than the practical things, though. But again, that's only IME and hearsay. I don't disbelieve you.

People probably aren't going to tell you all the details of their relationships, yeah.
