Loveless Aromantic, or Loveless Aro, describes someone who is on the aromantic spectrum that is in some way disconnected from the concept of love, does not feel love, or may doubt that they feel love. Due to the fact that "love" is usually synonymous with "romance," loveless aros are often forcibly disconnected from love due to the inability to feel romantic attraction. While others may try to broaden the definition of love to include tertiary attraction in addition to romantic attraction, loveless aros may continue to feel alienated and ignored or feel that love is inescapable as a result. They may feel uncomfortable with the concept of love in any form, or may not believe any form of love is personally relevant or important to them. Even though they may appear to "love" those close to them or "love" their hobbies, they do not feel that it is love but may rather be compassion, a mutual understanding, or enjoyment.
While all aspec people are harmed by amatonormativity, loveless aros are especially harmed by it. This may be due to some alloromantic asexuals trying to make themselves more palatable by claiming they can "still love," which not only alienates arospec people who do not experience romantic attraction, but also enforces the amatonormative belief that romance makes someone appealing. Similar messages may also be parroted by using examples of tertiary attraction attraction instead, which enforces a belief that experiencing any love makes someone appealing if it is "close enough" to being romantic. As a result of alienation, loveless aros disregard the idea that love is necessary.
This does not necessarily mean one lacks empathy or other emotions, and is not to be confused with panaspec or nonamorous, though someone who is panaspec and/or nonamorous may also consider themselves to be loveless. Loveless aros will often times feel other attractions and use the split attraction model, but just not equate their attraction to love.
Loveless aros reclaiming their disconnect from love is similar to voidpunks reclaiming their disconnect from humanity and the two communities often overlap.
