Why Do I Do This To Myself?

Note to self: just because someone on the internet brings up ace stuff and asserts there are no people who are aromantic but not asexual doesn't mean you have to correct them by pointing out that you exist. Nothing good ever comes of it. But people who acknowledge that people can feel romantic attraction without feeling sexual attraction exist but cannot get their heads around the reverse continue to confuse me.
