DiseMores

DiseMores is a term that emerged from online communities, particularly within fandom and gaming spaces, to describe a specific type of relationship dynamic. It is a portmanteau of "disinterested" and "mores," suggesting a situation where individuals involved in a relationship exhibit a lack of interest or engagement with societal norms and expectations regarding romantic partnerships. This can manifest in various ways, such as a casual approach to commitment, a deliberate avoidance of traditional relationship milestones, or a general indifference to public displays of affection or relationship status.

The concept of DiseMores often centers on individuals who may still care for each other but do not feel the need to adhere to conventional relationship structures. This might stem from personal philosophies, a desire for freedom and autonomy, or a reaction against perceived pressures of traditional dating. It is not necessarily indicative of a lack of affection, but rather a redefinition of how that affection is expressed and managed within a partnership. The term is primarily used informally and its interpretation can vary significantly among different online groups. It is important to note that DiseMores is not a formally recognized psychological or sociological term, but rather a descriptive label used within specific subcultures.
