Aromantic vs Aromatic

Me: *sprays some perfume on myself*

Friend: Omg, that smells so good! You’re so aromatic, how do you not have a bf yet?

Me: ... I’m aromantic and aromatic. I do not desire romantic relationships with others although I do enjoy carrying lovely scents with me.

Hey, dummy. The joke is all about wordplay. The person is "aromantic", meaning they ain't interested in romance, but their friend thinks they mean "aromatic", like smelling good because of the perfume. Get it? The joke is that one sounds like the other. Aromanticism is when someone doesn't feel romantic attraction. You probably don't know much about that.
