We've found from our experience and from talking to others it's much harder for poly guys than women.

We did both match with the same girl on f eeld and she likes us both so thats a result.

A good friend is solo poly.

I don't make much of it as I don't think people are really looking for relationships on here, maybe they are.

But as others have said, there are likely to be better platforms, where people get what poly is etc and it isn't another lie to cover up cheating

Proudly polyamorous, absolutely love it. That's not to say every dynamic I've been in has been perfect, I'm far from it. But I'm a lot happier and lucky to have the support and love of wonderful people. I've not really connected with many poly folk away from fab, bar Twitter, it might be an avenue I explore, one day.

I disagree. If I split up from both my partners I would still identify as polyamorous and I would be seeking polyamorous relationships. I feel that not to say so would be deceiving anyone I was to date as I have no interest in monogamous relationships.

I'm never quite sure if I can be classed as polyamorous or not. As I've gotten older I realised I was never really happy being monogamous. I've always preferred being in relationships different people provide different experiences.But, more importantly different people provide different emotional, intellectual, and physical needs that need fulfilling. I've always felt that if 'faithfulness' wasn't an issue and people accepted that fidelity either sexual or emotional wasnt necessarily a 'one person thing' and we were taught that jealousy is a useless and self destructive feeling then happiness, mental wellbeing and fulfilment would be a lot more prevalent than it is. If that makes me poly then I'm happy to be poly if it doesn't then I'm happy to carry on being whatever I am.

nothing to disagree with really, outlining my stance on guidelines for when you can and can't identify as poly, i don't have one and i wouldn't make the shortlist to write it either, was comment really on where i can see single guys going with this one.

silly question next bit but curious.

the need to identify, do people feel they are being questioned so its a response to that or other way around, implusion to state it as a sign they belong to a group? if you couldn't identify as polyamorous, the term didn't exist, does it change anything for you or how your viewed can you set your own rules based around a template. its not q and a and im not dimbleby but idont google shit if i don't understand as my un-conscious bias will inevitable lead me to find a way to blame Facebook in some way

Sounds like poly to me. Typically poly people communicate their need/desire to have relationships with multiple people, keeping that out in the open and allowing space to navigate the complexities. Personally I use “polyamorous” as a short way of saying “ethical non-monogamy”.. but others have a stricter definition closer to “multiple long term relationships”.

Also… most poly people experience jealousy. It’s not “a useless emotion”, it’s a great teacher. It shows you what you want, what you’re clinging to, what you’re afraid of. The “useless” bit is the classic response that jealousy must lead to anger, or worse violence; or that it is an excuse to attempt to control another person’s behaviour.

A lucky few don’t experience jealousy.

Personally, I’ve felt it in some relationships and not others. When It shows up, I take a bit of time to work out why. If necessary, I may act on what I’ve learned, but often it’s enough to just know “myself” and carry on.

Potted site reviews:

“Alright Eros” used to be the best site for meeting people, but then it was bought out by a rival and destroyed. It’s now pretty much completely useless – just shows you the same people over and over again, no matter how many times you reject them.

“Pitch” is great on paper, but experiences seem to vary highly depending on where you’re based. If you’re in London, Manchester or Birmingham, I’m sure it’s amazing. East Deadlands, though? Not so much. The app is also quite buggy.

Oh, and addressing the central topic of the thread: I’m not sure I’d use the word “poly”, but I’m definitely ethically non-monogamous. Most of my partners are poly people fitting me in around their existing relationship dynamics, which suits me fine.

Poly is what you are, rather than the situation you are in.

You can be poly, split up from your partners and still be poly, because you have the ability and desire to love multiple people at once.

If you are single, you are a single poly.

What your saying is like saying you can't be gay, or bi unless you are currently seeing someone of the same sex.
