Polyamory


What's your view on it?

reply

I'm in love with two womens,so...why not😉

reply

what about an open relationship?

reply

Open? We keep it a secret😉

reply

i'm not someone who has a way with the ladies. They don't go for me.
I admit to liking a variety with regards to hair, eye skin colour I think all are good.
I think the best height for a woman is 5 foot 9 but I have seen women ranging from 5 feet to
5 feet 11 that I consider to be attractive. I prefer long hair and don't like tattoos or piercings.

You can’t be in love, true love, with two women. You may be mistaking love for lust.

Edit: Thanks to Froggy for correcting me. I erred when I transposed two words: It should be “mistakenly *lust* for love”. I should know better to stay away from the keyboard when having a migraine! I’m always open to you guys correcting my errors.😌

Amen, kspkap!

You may be mistaking love for lust.

That's backward, fyi. Should be "mistaking lust for love."

And I point out the slight error because there's an interesting argument that lust is mistaken for love, in general.

For example: We expect and are expected to "fall in love" ONLY with someone of the gender we are sexually attracted to.

That, all by itself, means lust comes first.

If love came first, then a straight person could "fall in love" with someone of the same gender, even with no sexual attraction.

And kspkap: You'd be tempted to say "well that's a close friendship," but that would be completely separate from "true love," which you say can only be shared with ONE person. So, that would not apply to "true love" and is still separate from that concept.

People also generally "fall in love" with someone they find physically attractive. While it does happen, it's excruciatingly rare for someone to fall in love with someone they have no physical attraction to.

"Love" is a magical word that creates a bit of magical thinking. In the end, what we call love is a form of protective pair-bonding that comes from the animal kingdom, and at its base, it's all about reproduction and ensuring the survival of the young. It comes down to caring for the welfare and well-being of those close to us, which is very important for survival, especially for our vulnerable young.

This is why lust comes first, because we are animals first.

@Froggy

Thanks for correcting my error when I transposed the two words. Bad migraine makes me feel like my eyes are crossed! I also can’t think straight!🤕

Now that I agree with you correcting me re: the error in my transposing the two words, I have to somewhat disagree with your assessment that *lust* prefaces love. Not being male I’m coming from how I believe women react. With the two men who have caused me to *love* them, one from 55 years ago and my current mate of 54 years. In the beginning it was *not* lust. It was attraction, but without lusting. It was dating with liking them as a person. I’m a one guy person. I honestly did not want to date others after dating either one of these two guys. The friendship turned into love with *lust* following. Maybe it was the times and mores are different today. “Back in my day” we didn’t kiss on the first date! We weren’t affectionate with one another...we got to know each other first. Hells bells, nowadays it is *lust* in the beginning...hitting the sack on the first date! But , I do know what *lust* is. As adults in the workforce I’m sure most of us have *lusted* after a co-worker...definitely *not* love. Even good ole Jimmy Carter had “lusted in his heart!” We humans are a complex species.

That was 8 months ago.Many things changed since then

I enjoyed "Big Love" when it was still running but it made poly seem like way too much work and drama. Although I think most of the drama came from having to hide the true nature of their family from the rest of society.

reply

It's not polyamory if you are hiding the girlfriends from eachother, that's just low down dirty cheating. Polyamory is when everyone knows what's up and agrees to it. Poly is honesty.

I think it's fine as long as everyone is adult and consenting and as long as it goes both ways. ( what's good for the goose is good for the gander!)
I am not a fan of religions that marry off young girls to gross old men and the girls have no part of the decision.
I am not a fan of religions that let men have a bunch of wives but never have a woman with multiple husbands.
(to be honest I am not a fan of religions at all)
I think it makes more sense with one woman and multiple husbands/lovers.

reply

I think it makes more sense with one woman and multiple husbands/lovers.

Uh-huh!! Richard Gere and The Frenchie in Unfaithful LMAO!!!! Hot hot hot 😜😜😜😜

reply

Did they both know and consent though? I haven't seen that movie but if a woman was cheating on a man then it's not polyamory.
Cheating is not consensual. Having two men when both think they are the ONE is not polyamory.
it's weird how any discussion of poly turns into pro-adultery discussion when they are completely opposite.

reply

No, in the movie it was cheating. I'm saying those would be my choice if I had the choice to have them as my choice LOL!! 😂😂

reply

I'd want a harem with different skills.
One that cooks, one that's a great handyman and can fix or build stuff, one that can play music and sing, one that likes movies and can have good discussions after watching them.

reply

So like a dominatrix?

reply

Hi April, We all miss you 😢

reply

One important reason it doesn't really make sense is because nobody can be certain whose child it is.

reply

make sure all your husbands look very different from eachother.
or just get dna test if it's that important (which it really isn't except for medical reasons)

reply

Okay, thanks for the advice.

reply

it tends to be more important to the man than the woman, for some reason. men are very possessive.

Why would any man want to live with more than one woman? Living with one is bad enough.

reply

I'm a woman and I'll have to agree with you LMAO!!!!

reply

but what if someone found two great women? living with them would be great.

reply

How would divorces work in community law states?

The first wive that divorces gets 50% of the wealth the guy accumulates. The second wife gets 50% of that? The third gets 50% of that? The fourth gets 50% of that?

For example, we'll put $60k per year (even though it is total accumulated wealth and assuming no woman works in the relationship).

$30k is gone to the first wife, then 15k of that 30k, then $7500 of that 15K, then $3750 of that $7500. The guy ends up with $3750!

reply


Amen, earl!

Or as the woman said to the man, "Why would you want two women? You can't even satisfy one!"


😎

reply


It's a bad idea. A very bad idea imho.



😎

reply

Impossible. I don't think people can romantically love more than one person at a time. They might have poly lust, but I don't think it is poly love.

My opinion, of course.

reply

would you be involved with someone who is with another person?

reply


No, never.


😎

reply

being honest, I have never dated or been in a relationship.

reply


No offense, but that's kind of sad. If I'm not being too inquisitive, is there a reason for that?
