    Also possibly low standards, though that’s probably not something that you want to hear from your partner …

      Some people just can’t think of shit when put on the spot with questions like “but why do you love me” because my brain is made of fluffy kittens playing clumsily with ribbons.

      I still have the nightmares.

        Same.

        It doesn’t help that “why do you love me” is often an impossible question to answer.

          “You’re pretty and smart and drag likes the way you see the world and you have a big heart.”

          Y’all don’t know how to compliment your dragons properly. Tell it that it’s pretty and smart and kind. Easy.

            That’s what I would personally call “cheap”.

            Among those words the only one that could barely resonate would be “I like the way you see the world”, but that’s still pretty reductive as I doubt your partner at the time is doing groundbreaking philosophy.

            And it doesn’t say much about your feeling toward anybody else that share the same outlooks/lifestyle.
