Romantic tolerance

Where relational interaction crosses the line which is considered exclusively for marriage/romance by an individual.

This tolerance varies from person to person, and can be determined by; what creates sexual desire/tension.

OBVIOUSLY: In a friendship where one person's romantic tolerance is lower, the relationship should naturally adhere to the lower standard.

(If they wish to remain platonic)

In a ROMANTIC relationship, if one person's tolerance is lower than the other, they are more likely to experience arguments and insecurity over exclusivity.

This is because the individual with the LOWER standard assumes that their partner has the same 'boundaries'/'tolerance' as themselves and become offended when their partner surpasses this limit.

Ex.
Person A: "You're cheating on me!"
Person B: "I literally just hugged them. Why are you so upset?"

In this scenario, Person A associates hugging as something that 'universally' creates sexual tension/desire because it is true for them personally.

So they label Person B as having broken romantic exclusivity.
However, Person B has a higher 'romantic tolerance' and sees hugging as an innocent form of interaction and socialising.
In reality, there was no betrayal.
"...She got butterflies every time a guy spoke to her. She had a very low romantic tolerance, as apposed to her sister who could easily have guy-friends without an issue."

MORE EXAMPLES:
(These may or may not apply to your personal romantic tolerance)
Do any of the below cause you to get butterflies/catch feelings or feel betrayed by your partner if they do them with someone else?

- Hugging
- Talking to the opposite sex/of your sexual orientation
- Following people on social media
- Holding hands
- Heart to heart conversations
- Flirtatious joking
- Kissing
- Emotional attachment
- Making eye-contact (yes, this is too romantic for some cultures and individuals)

Trump Tower

A 21st century take on the infamous Hooverville shanties of the Great Depression era. These aren’t as extravagant as their predecessors because of the Trump Flu and mandatory minimums for being homeless. Also used to refer to private prisons at the adoption of inmates lucky enough to receive government sponsored food and shelter.
Billy: LOL Todd, can’t believe they sent your dad to Trump Tower for 25 to life!
Todd: Fuck you Billy, Biden stole the election and you care more about black people than you do about America.
Billy: Can’t believe he set fire to that OTHER Trump Tower in D.C. to distract from the real insurrection LOL.
