ANNOUNCEMENT: Rule 3 Clarification

82 Upvotes

There seems to be some confusion around this rule, and it eats up the vast majority of Mod time. So I'll try and spell out how the rule is currently being enforced.

If you are posting as a couple with the expectation that the new person will date both of you, then you are breaking the rule. If your post suggest this, you are breaking the rule. If your post looks like it might be a "bait and switch," you are breaking the rule.

The only posts that might be accepted are where one couple shares an account but they are looking separately. Honestly that smells strongly of being far to enmeshed and will likely (but not definitely) result in your post being removed.

If you are single and post looking for two people e.g. M4FF or F4MM your post will be removed. That is def facto harem building. This is a poly sub so we know people have, or would like to have, multiple partners.

I can already hear the hew and cry that we let singles look for couples but not the other way around. Yes, that is the unhappy compromise. Some people will only learn the stove is hot once they touch it.

As a final note, given how much time this eats up, NO your post is NOT the exception. If you want to know why this is the way it is, go and browse the main Polyamory Subreddit.

Recent Rule Changes [Discussion]

96 Upvotes

In an effort to improve things and crack down on spam and abuse, there have been some changes to the rules and I’ve listed the new rules below. Please feel free to review the rules and my comments on each and provide feedback. I’ll leave this post up for a week or so for discussion, and then I’ll make a new sticky post for the community.

​

Rule 1. 18 years of age and older

This subreddit is 18+. Do not post, comment, or PM OPs if you or your partner(s) are under the age of 18. Lying about your age, or someone else’s age, will result in a permanent ban.

This one is self-explanatory. There have been Redditors who are minors, or have partners who are minors, who have made posts here. I want to make it clear that posts involving minors are prohibited.

​

Rule 2. Must be aligned with Polyamory

Polyamory is the practice of, or desire for, ethical romantic relationships with more than one person with the informed consent of all partners involved.

Posts or comments seeking sex, hookups, FWB, affair partners, “sugar” or GFE arrangements, or anything other than ethical polyamorous relationships with the consent of all partners are not allowed. There are R4R and other dating subreddits out there for just about anything. If you’re not polyamorous, please use a subreddit that is better-suited for your search.

This should go without saying…this subreddit is intended for polyamorous people seeking polyamorous relationships. This is not a general ENM dating subreddit, a regular R4R subreddit, a BDSM subreddit, or a subreddit for seeking any other kind of relationship other than an ethical polyamorous one. Going forward, if a post even includes “I’m also down for hookups or FWB” or something similar, it’s going to be removed. There’s nothing necessarily wrong with most of the arrangements mentioned above that someone might seek, but this isn’t the subreddit to advertise for those things. Also, if someone makes a post that seems like it’s not aligned with polyamory and their post history shows that it’s the same post they’ve cross-posted or spammed across multiple subreddits with minor changes to circumvent the intention of the rule, the post will be removed.

​

Rule 3. No unicorn hunting or harem building

Posts or comments that can be construed as seeking or promoting relationships where unethical or unfair rules or expectations will be placed on a new partner are not allowed.

This has been the most contentious issue on this subreddit so far, as it has been on other subreddits and forums. We’re not going to prohibit couples seeking partners in this subreddit. There are single people here seeking triads, throuples, and all sorts of dynamics. Triads and other group relationships can be amazing, especially if they are formed organically. That being said, there will be more moderation on couples seeking posts going forward, which will be done on a case-by-case basis.

The purpose of the mod team here is to protect the members of the subreddit and the integrity of the community we’ve built here. It is not the mod team's place to tell adults what they can or cannot do with their relationship dynamics. The reality is that we are all consenting adults and have adult decisions to make in our lives and in our relationships.

In an effort to prevent the subreddit from being a platform for predatory behavior, any no or low effort posts or comments from Redditors that indicate a general lack of regard for any potential individuals involved will be removed. For example, if an individual posts from a new Reddit account something to the effect of, "We're new to polyamory. We want to find a third who will date only us and be an equal member of our new family. We can start out long distance, but we will expect you to move in with us at some point. Prefer that you be submissive," the post will be removed. Read the room. Show that you're actually putting some thought and effort into it, and not just objectifying people.

Also, if you say that this new person is going to be an equal member of the family after you've just said that the person is going to be required to date both of you, recognize that the person you're seeking is not actually going to be an equal member of the family. If there's a possibility that one member of the existing couple loses interest and the new member of the relationship is forced to leave entirely...you have now misled this hypothetical new person into an unethical dynamic on them.

​

Rule 4. No hate or disrespect

Threats, harassment, abuse, bigotry, misogyny, misandry, and intolerance are not allowed. This includes, but is not limited to, attacks on gender or sexual identity, racism, sexism, slut shaming, mocking, and attacks on political or religious beliefs.

I don't need to go into detail on this rule. Don't be a jerk. If you don't like what someone has to say, block them. If you think someone is breaking a rule, report them.

​

Rule 5. No vulgarity or NSFW content

Vulgarity and NSFW content are not allowed. There’s nothing inherently wrong with sex, kinks, fetishes, and BDSM. However, posts and comments explaining the details of your sexual anatomy, favorite sexual positions, details and/or lists of kinks or fetishes, etc. will be removed. You can indicate that you are into BDSM and encourage people to DM you about the details.

There is often a large crossover between ethical non-monogamy and BDSM, sex positivity, etc. There's nothing inherently wrong with any of it, but this is not a NSFW subreddit. It's fine to include that you're sex positive, into BDSM, or whatever. If you go into detail and start describing anatomy/body parts, listing off kinks, and things like that, your submission will be removed. If you want to discuss these things, please do so in a DM.

The mod team has been asked why this subreddit is marked NSFW. The subreddit is 18+, so it's automatically identified as a NSFW subreddit.

​

Rule 6. No spam

You are allowed to post once every 7 days, with the exception of correction posts following an Automod removal. If you are found to be repeatedly deleting your post history in an attempt to circumvent this rule, it may result in a permanent ban. For clarification, spam includes copy-pasted and cross-posted ads from other subreddits.

This one is self-explanatory.

Rule 7. No Trolling or unsolicited discussion

There are a multitude of dynamics and ways to practice polyamory, and not everyone will agree on everything. Do not clutter up posts with unsolicited information. For education and discussions about polyamory, please visit r/Polyamory. If you believe someone is breaking a rule, please report the behavior and/or contact the mod team.

Again, if you think someone is breaking a rule, report it. If you disagree with what someone is commenting or posting, block them. Please don't engage in negative interactions on posts.

​

Rule 8. No personal or confidential information

Posting personal or confidential information about yourself or others in public is not allowed. If you wish to provide contact information for yourself, please do so in a DM.

Posting Snapchat, Instagram, phone numbers, or any other personal contact or confidential information about yourself or others in public is prohibited. If you want to give someone your contact information, do it in a DM. If it happens once, it will be removed and you will be warned. If you're found to be spamming your contact information all over the place, it could result in an immediate permanent ban.

​

Rule 9. No seeking relationships for others

Posts seeking relationships for someone other than yourself, or you and your partner(s), are not allowed. If your friend or partner is seeking a relationship separately, they must make the submission themselves.

I've seen posts where Redditors are seeking relationships for their partners or others, sometimes even doing it as a sort of surprise for their partner. If someone is seeking a relationship, they need to post for themselves. Your partner not having a Reddit account is not a valid reason to violate this rule.

Also, a general note for when you engage with the mod team. We have to wade through a lot of reports and posts here. Sometimes there are misunderstandings or mistakes are made. If your post or comment gets removed, or you are banned for violating a rule and you wish to appeal, you can do so via a Modmail. If you send a Modmail insulting the mods, you're only confirming that you're not the type of person who belongs on this subreddit. No amount of insulting or cursing a moderator is going to help your cause.

29 [F4M] Greater Toronto Area - worth a shot

3 Upvotes

​Hello! Figured I'd put myself out there in the polyamory community and see who's around.

​About Me:

  1. ​Age/Location: 29, living in the Mississauga/GTA area.

  2. ​Background: I have a background in philosophy and political science, and I currently work in data labeling and online English tutoring. I'm trilingual (English, French, Tagalog) and always appreciate someone who enjoys deep, engaging conversations. I've lived in Montreal and smaller Ontario cities.

  3. ​Vibe/Interests: In my free time, you'll find me playing the piano, gaming on my Nintendo Switch (Dead by Daylight, Animal Crossing), or unwinding with anime and shows like Attack on Titan, Mushishi, and Avatar: The Last Airbender. I'm also big on food—always down to track down great dim sum, tempura, or Korean fried chicken.

​What I'm Looking For:

I'm looking for a meaningful, authentic connection with someone who is emotionally mature, kind, and communicative. Whether local to the GTA or open to building a strong remote connection first, I'm interested in finding a romantic partner/bestie who understands and thrives in polyamorous dynamics.

​If this sounds like your vibe, feel free to send a DM telling me a bit about yourself, your poly structure/experience, and what you're currently into!

I am a shy nerdy guy. I love video games, board games, and reading. I'm not diagnosed, but I'm pretty sure I'm AuDHD.

I'm looking for friendship which could turn into more or just someone to text and chat with.

I am a pretty plain and vanilla guy.

I am a night owl.

I just want to expand my social circle and get to know more people. I don't get enough social in my life and I want to change that.

Anyway, I hope this reaches somebody who is interested and you reach out to get to know me.

34 [M4M] Italy and everywhere - Looking for someone on the same wavelength: vegan, vegetarian, or just someone who cares about animals

• Upvotes

Here is the first part of my ad. Feel free to focus only on whatever is relevant to you. To protect my privacy, I only share the second part of my ad privately, but at a later stage.

About me I am Berto, a 34-year-old man living in Italy.

Spoken languages Italian (native speaker), English (B2), Spanish (A1).

Lifestyle I am an animal advocate and have followed a vegan diet since 2017.

My current main interests Narrative series (screen, books, comics) and meditation.

My other interests Mathematics, vegan cooking, non-fiction, modern languages.

Interests I want to explore in the future Organic farming, ancient languages, psychology, piano.

Appearance I have a slim build (a little hairy, for those who are curious). Brown eyes, thick brown hair. My hair has grown quite a bit lately, but I'm thinking of cutting it.

Who I'm looking for Distance is not an issue, anywhere in the world works for me. I'm looking for someone on the same wavelength: vegan, aneurovegan (including bivalvegan), vegetarian, aneurovegetarian (including bivalvegetarian), or just someone who cares about animals (with an openness to learning more about veganism), and who respects perspectives different from their own. I am also open to a light language exchange if you are learning or wish to learn Italian.

What I am looking for initially [1] Initially I am looking for company for casual and occasional messages. [2] After getting to know each other a bit, we can decide to have one or more video calls, if we both agree.

Availability To keep interactions relaxed and avoid unnecessary pressure, I prefer being upfront from the start so we can both feel completely at ease. I don't like synchronous texting and prefer exchanging asynchronous messages. Outside of close relationships, I have very limited availability and cannot dedicate much time to someone I've just met, partly because of the many commitments I manage, partly because I am currently in a phase where I enjoy meeting and talking to new people rather than focusing on just one, and partly because I need to take things gradually to protect my well-being. Because of this, I might not always be able to reply, and when I do, it often takes days or even weeks. If you are someone who needs prompt replies, gets upset when waiting, or wants to rush getting to know each other, this won't be a good fit. Throughout this stage, whether we are exchanging casual and occasional messages or having video calls, being in touch carries no obligation to continue: either of us is completely free to step back or simply stop replying at any time, for any reason, with no hard feelings or explanations needed. Getting in touch also carries no expectation of exclusivity: we are both completely free to talk to other people, keep profiles active, and post ads or messages elsewhere.

Moving forward If we happen to click well over time, the frequency of our contact might eventually increase (with no pressure on how often we speak), and at that point I will share the second part of my ad. From that point on, if either of us should ever decide to step back or end contact, which always remains everyone's right, let's agree to give a brief, honest heads-up rather than disappearing.

Contact If you are interested, please message me privately with your name, age, location, and a brief description of your interests, and tell me if you are vegan, vegetarian etc., how many years you have been one, and in which community you found my post.

Photos If you want, you can send a few photos of yourself (no need for explicit photos, of course).

37 [M4F] #Online (to begin) looking for the light of my life, my primary

11 Upvotes

Who am I looking for? The light of my life. My lover, my partner in kink, my muse, the reason my world goes around, my primary partner. I'm looking for the woman I feel and smell next to me every morning, even before I open my eyes and smile to myself. The woman in whose eyes I see love for me, and the conviction to be happy and bring me joy. Someone as comfortable being queen/princess(choose your title of choice) of my life as she is being my submissive. Someone who allows me to earn their submission, but someone strong enough to helm the ship when the captain is down, so to speak.

Who am I? I'm male, 37. Kinky and polyamorous.

What gets you bonus points? (If you match even one, I probably really really really like you)

Be a bookworm. Be someone I can read my favorite books with/to (I do voices) or read your favorite to me.

Be someone who is looking for their polyamorous primary partner. Someone who will develop a relationship with people who I love and (maybe) come to love them too.

Be kinky.

What's my stand on mental health?

This is important. I used to eagerly court the idea of death when I was 16. Since then, I've learnt to appreciate every day I'm alive. I've fought with depression and won. Probably not the last time, but I'll keep winning. Bottom-line: your mental health is important to me. It's hard to survive present circumstances without having a mental scar or two. Don't hide your scars. You'll have your chosen family to help you fight your demons. The fight is always easier with more people to have your back.

I need you to know that I'm not one of those guys that claims to be poly but freaks out when you talk about seeing someone else. I'm not that guy. Yes I'm looking for someone who wants me to be their primary partner. I want my home to be built around us.

Too Kinky? Not possible. I'm filthy, perverted, depraved even. Bring on your deep dark secrets and we'll see if we can make each other's fantasies come to life.

Too vanilla? Nah. That's the beauty of poly. You don't need to fit the cookie cutter Santa Claus shape I dreamt up all by myself. You can be Santa's beard while someone else gets to be his hat. All together, Santa comes home and we have a lovely holiday. Everyone connects differently. I just want to be connected to you in enough ways that I ache for your presence next to me every minute of my life.

What kind of a person am I? What kind of things make me tick?

Saying I'm a bookworm would be an insult. Book dragon is more like it. I am an amateur Salsa dancer. I WILL want to dance with you when the mood strikes. You're welcome to tread on my toes as much as you want, just let me hold you in my arms and sway with you to sweet sweet music. I'm nitpicky about commitments, no matter how small. If I commit to doing something, I WILL see the commitment through. Casually ignoring small commitments bother me a lot. I don't do racism, bigotry...you get the idea. Nope, No can do.  I'm not the person for you. I have a Masters in how to save the planet. Ask me about it.

Kinks? Talk to me and I'll share my dreams. There are better shared in intimate knowledge of each other.

If you haven't run off already, then you probably have the patience I'm looking for in a partner. Let's begin a conversation and see if we fit. I look forward to hearing from you. I'd appreciate the you returning in kind, the effort I put into composing this message.

38 [m4f]#WestVirginia - ENM looking for a friendship that could grow

2 Upvotes

​

I'm a 38-year-old married man in an ethically non-monogamous relationship of 15 years, hoping to meet a woman around 35 and up who's also in West Virginia and interested in building connection.

I work as a coal miner, and when I'm not working, I'm usually reading, gaming, learning something new about history, or fishing when the weather cooperates.

I'm a pretty quiet guy, but I've got a good sense of humor. I tend to be more of a listener than the loudest person in the room.

I'm not looking to rush into anything. I'd like to find someone I can develop a friendship with first. If that friendship grows into something deeper, even better.

I appreciate honesty, kindness, just people who can be themselves. I'm more interested in getting to know one person genuinely than having a lot of random conversations.

I'd prefer someone local to West Virginia, since I'd eventually like to spend time together in person instead of keep everything behind a screen.

If you're looking for something like this send me a message and tell me a little about yourself. Can't wait to hear from you.

I'm genuine, kind, a bit of an oversharer, flirty, and get along with just about anyone. Im fairly straight but Open to connecting with anyone—guy friends, local buddies, or long-distance pocket pals. Distance isn't a dealbreaker since I love to travel, but if you’re local, grabbing some food is always on the table.

​me:

​Grounded, quiet country living mixed with city trips, DIY, woodworking, and running my online community, Only Friends, which I'm super passionate about! (Bonus: I pretty crafty and good with my hands) maybe we can share out creative projects together.

​My brain is still 40% fueled by 90s cartoons and classic TV quotes.

​Cars, trucks, music, travel, tv, Movies and hockey with a ton of other interests. I love crafty people or people who are passionate about something. 420 friendly.

You:

​I value low drama, transparency, good humor, and matching energy—I’m looking for fun, engaging people who can hold up their end of a conversation! I value personality over looks but I do like a girl with a cute face and beautiful eyes.

​Your turn:

I need to know if you have a favorite sock brand a give a bit of information about yourself. (I prefer chatting off Reddit, ideally on TG!)

28 [M4F] Rochester, New York- Partnered nerd looking for long term love!

1 Upvotes

Hey there! I live over in Rochester, NY and I'm pretty new to poly stuff. I've been in a relationship with my current partner for 2 years and shes currently married to her wife and dating another, im currently a metamour to both. We all date separately but we've all decided wed start dating with the goal of more nesting partners, were also attempting a kitchen table poly relationship, So were looking for serious and longeterm parnter(s) but theres no pressure to be in any relationship romantically or sexually with my partner or any others. And if the prospect of a being a nesting partners doesn't interest you thats okay as well and Id still be interested in keeping a relationship going if so! Also considering were all 25+ We'd only be comfortable with people 25 and up to be apart of our polycule especially if longeterm.

A bit about me! I'm a bigger guy (400ish) and I'm a pretty massive nerd (Gaming, manga, anime), my love languages are physical touch (Hand holding, shoulder squeezes, arm rubs, etc) with a bit of act of services and gift giving, im also AuADHD as well. I work security and I'm pretty busy most weeks but during my free time I try to play games with friends and just hang out with them online as much as I can but other than that I like to spend lots of time with my partner and our general household!

As for what im looking for, Im Bi with a heavy lean towards primarily fem and masc women currently as well as fem leaning Enbys! Im also more interested in dating singles but im open to couples as well.

Im also very 420 friendly. I'm a pretty avid weed smoker but I dont smoke cigarettes (Unless SUPER stressed or socially). I'm pretty homebody and typically prefer more simple dates at home but I do enjoy a resteraunt date or a walk through a park every now and agian.

I play alot of games but I currently have the World of Warcraft bug again and its all ive been playing on my down time! I also primarily play on PC but ive recently got a switch 2 and have been engrossed in Pokémon ZA and Pokopia as well as Tears of the kingdom.

Some bedroom stuff about me! Im pretty into any one with bodyhair (primarily pubes and pits) take that as you will. Im not involved in kink life really, Ive practiced some stuff with my partner but all in all I tend to be more generally rough than anything. You can inquire about any of this if youre curious. Just thought Id put it out there before hand. I am however a heavy dom leaning switch. Im also a generally sexual person, I do like there to be sexual intimacy involved in serious romantic relationships so if thats not youre thing im sorry but im not your guy.

Im primarily looking for localish people but Im also okay with long distance relationships as well as long as theres a chance in future for visits either me to you or vice versa. If any of this peaks your interest I'd love to get to know you and see if we click!

48 [M4F] Polyamorous nerd looking for my Poly nerdy girlfriend

4 Upvotes

Hey there. I'm a 48 year-old married guy who's been polyamorous for 17 years (yes, longer than some Marvel franchises have existed) and I'm looking for a genuine connection with someone who gets it.
The quick version:
• Disney Passholder. I have strong opinions about churros and I'm not afraid to share them.
• Date nights are my love language, along with touch and quality time. (Words of affirmation is fine too, but try feeding me popcorn during a movie and see what happens.)
• Movies, writing, photography, and all things nerdy. I will absolutely cry at a Pixar film and I'm not even a little ashamed.
• Intimacy matters to me, but so do honesty and communication. I'm an open book, so ask me anything. Seriously, anything. The weirdest questions get the best answers.
• I love curvy women, and I love a woman who doesn't take herself too seriously. If you can laugh at yourself, we'll get along great.
The hobbies, because you asked for the long version:
I love to write. I love to cook, and I'll happily make you dinner if you let me. I'm a huge Disney fan, obviously, but the nerdiness doesn't stop there: Marvel, Legos, video games. My shelves are a war zone between books and Lego sets, and I'm at peace with that. I love to read too, so fair warning, I'm the guy who finishes the book before the movie and then complains about the adaptation all the way home.
The physical part, because let's be upfront:
I'm a very physical person. Touch is everything to me: hand-holding, cuddling on the couch, a hand on the small of your back in a crowd. Intimacy is high on my list, not just the physical kind, though that's very much included, but the real, vulnerable, 2am-conversation kind too. If physical closeness matters to you the way it matters to me, we'll speak the same language.
What I'm looking for:
A deep connection with someone who loves Disney magic as much as a great conversation, who wants cozy movie nights and real intimacy, not just small talk over overpriced theme park pretzels. (Though I will never say no to a pretzel.)
Bonus points if you have a favorite Disney ride you'd defend in a debate. Mine's a hill I'm prepared to die on.
If any of this made you smile, say hi. Let's see where it goes.
I'm polyamorous and have been for 17 years.

34 [M4F] #Montreal / Online or IRL / Alt / degenerate seeking dark humor & chemistry

0 Upvotes

34, attractive, gainfully employed, and located in Montreal. Heavy on dark humor, slightly dead inside in a charmingly self-aware way, and possessor of what has been verified as a genuinely nice speaking voice over voice chat.

I live with my ex. We’re on completely peaceful, sweet terms as platonic roommates/nesting partners, but the romantic and physical side ended long ago—she mostly lives in her own world and wants to be left alone. There are no weird couple vetoes, no drama, and no stealth rules. You get total autonomy from me, but I believe in laying out the domestic setup on day one so there are zero surprises.

When I’m off the clock, I’m usually decompressing by melting my brain in League ARAMs or getting humbled by whatever Souls-like has my attention. I just poured way too many hours into finishing the Dragon’s Dogma 2 DLC, and my comfort zone is basically any grim single-player RPG that doesn't respect my free time. Outside of gaming, I’ve almost always got something heavy or dark playing in the background, cooking decent food, or sending unhinged memes back and forth at 1 AM.

Mostly just someone on a similar wavelength: someone who appreciates dry banter, doesn't take life too seriously, and understands the appeal of either wasting a Friday night on Discord or wandering around town grabbing late-night food. Low pressure on expectations; I'm happy to start out swapping music, playing games, or grabbing a bite, and just see where the mutual chemistry goes.

If any of this resonates, shoot me a DM with your current obsession, your favorite playtlist, or your worst hot take.

Canada 41 [M4F] #Toronto #Canada Looking for new connections

2 Upvotes

Hello 😄

I'm 41 and own my own condo in downtown Toronto. I'm 6ft, avg build, black hair, and brown eyes, and childfree. At the moment, I have a long-distance partner who, unfortunately, I don't get to see often because they're international. I'm also separated amicably and I keep in touch with my ex and she takes care of the cat we had during our time together. I have a gallery full of pictures as well like any responsible cat owner. Priorities. 🐱 I also currently live alone, and my current pet is a snake plant.

Being as central as I am has its perks such as being within walking distance of pretty much everything I might need. I like keeping track of Hockey overall, but I'm also a Leafs fan. Along with that, I generally indulge in some gaming (like Diablo) and music that ranges from a collection of 80's to more current metal. I'm also a big fan of food in this city and would be into exchanging ideas and hearing what spots you enjoy. My drinks of choice are generally beer, coffee, or red wine.

I've had a lot of experience being poly and have also been involved in kink as well. On that topic I also have a pretty good toy drawer 😉. Safety & Consent are very important to me as well. As for my flavour of polyamory, I enjoy not having hierarchy and would prefer something closer to parallel polyamory. While I respect the idea, I'm not into Kitchen Table at all because I enjoy my space.

I value that in-person check to see what the feel is like over coffee or drinks. I know a few spots for either one as well and can set something up.

What I'm looking for

With all of that said, I'm looking for someone in the roughly 28 - 45 age range who ideally has some experience with kink as a submissive. Outside of that, if you're into gaming that's a huge plus as well. I'm mainly looking to be that partner you can spend a chill night in with and or go out for dinner roughly weekly.

At this point, I am looking for a solid partnership to develop but I'm not in any rush. I'm still open to more casual and consistent partners as well depending on how it works out between us. My priority is mainly local connections, but I'm open to others as well and some degree of travel. All women are welcome and a trans ally 🏳️‍⚧️.

Also tested regularly, practice safe play, and have had a vasectomy with confirmed 0 count.

If that sounds interesting to you, slide into my DMs with some info about you and be prepared to exchange SFW face pics.

1 Upvotes

Solo poly and looking for an ongoing connection with someone who enjoys good conversation, shared interests, and spending time together. I’d love to meet a fellow nerd for trips to the movies, enthusiastic conversations about our favorite fandoms, and relaxed hangs that turn into “where did the time go?” afternoons. Tell me what you’re currently watching or the movie you’ll always rewatch. Let’s start with a coffee and a walk, see how we click, and go from there.

USA 26 [F4M] Los Angeles - Artsy nerd seeking companionship

17 Upvotes

Hi there!

Just a gal writing from my little corner of the internet, wondering if anyone else on this pale blue dot wants to connect!

Currently single (but not solo poly), no kids.

As far as what polyamory looks like for me, I tend towards relationship anarchy and demisexuality. I believe that compersion makes for a better relational foundation than exclusivity, and that between platonic and romantic exists a spectrum, not a divide. Many types of relationship structures are on the table for me, so long as we prioritize intentionality and transparency.

My top three favorite traits in a person are empathy, curiosity, and integrity. I often find myself crushing on people who are very handy (think, like, home DIY) or have deep knowledge of niche subjects.

I'm happiest when I'm crafting or singing. I'm an early bird who doesn't drink or smoke (but don't mind if you do), so my local watering holes tend to be places like art museums, botanic gardens, science lectures, flea markets...

I'm also a big foodie with an adventurous palate, so let me know if there's a restaurant you've been itching to try.

Happy to share pictures if you send me a chat request :)

Hello! I'm 32, f; very curvy and yes I have a beard. It's a long story. I would love to find someone 25+ to chat with and see where things go. I'm into all genders.

👋 I'm Queeny.

Partners: 1 partner that I live with
Kids: 2 preteens

A little about me: I work an office job. My current hyper fixation is listening to audiobooks. Anytime I can listen to one, I am. Other hobbies I enjoy are bitching about the current Fortnite season and overthinking and rewriting my DND homebrew lore I'll likely never use again.

What I'm looking for:

Polywise: Someone openly polyamorous and who is not interested in parallel polyamory. I'm not looking to date couples.

Generally: wanting a deep connection that leads to something serious and long term. Someone who has time for that sort of relationship. Ongoing communication (texting everyday throughout the day, good morning/good night texts), regular calls, regular quality time together.

I am not open to casual or fwb type connections. I'm not built for casual. Soul crushing devotion only. 😊

Distance: I am open to reasonable distance. But you can see where I'm located. If traveling to me regularly is not an option we won't be a good match. Through lived experiences I'm looking to see each other minimally 1x a month. With you doing most of the traveling.

Values: someone with similar values. Pro LGBTQIA+, anti racism, free 🇵🇸, 🖕🏻🧊 and all that you would expect with that.

I'm not sure how far everyone actually reads these before sending a message so if you made it this far, in your introduction to me tell me the last book you read or are currently reading. (Along with some meat in the intro message. anything with no effort is getting ignored)

Looking for a friend, maybe a best friend if we click. I'm polyamorous, but I don't have the emotional or practical space for a romantic relationship right now, but I hope to get to that point with someone someday.

​What I'm really looking for is someone to chat with all day. Someone who sneaks quick replies on their phone during work, wants to share the boring and exciting parts of their day, and genuinely wants to hear about mine.

​Just a heads up: I can't meet up in person right now. I've got kids and some living situation constraints, so this is strictly online/texting for now.

A bit about me:

I’m 39, married, and have three kids. In my free time, I’m big into nature photography, hiking, writing, creative projects, and making ambient YouTube videos. I'm liberal, atheist, and neurodivergent-friendly (I manage anxiety and depression myself). Demisexual, Pansexual. I’m 420-friendly, vape nicotine, and take daily gummies for sleep and mood. I tend to open up pretty slowly. To me, building trust and comfort takes time, consistency, and mutual effort, but I love the process of really getting to know someone over time.

​What I’m hoping to find:

Someone roughly in my age group (35 to 48), liberal, non-religious, and in EST (US only). Most importantly, I’m looking for someone who likes steady, daily communication and wants to build a quiet, genuine friendship over text. I value peace and real connection, so if you like playing games or disappearing for days at a time, we probably won't be a great fit.

​Feel free to check out my profile to learn a bit more. If this sounds like what you’re looking for, send me a message and tell me a little about yourself!

​​If all of that sounds like your speed, send me a PM (please don't comment!). I use a few quick questions to filter out fakes and make sure we'll actually click, so please make sure to answer all of these:

​* Age.

* ​Gender.

* ​Your state.

* ​Who you voted for in 2024.

*​A short intro about yourself.

​If any of these are missing, I'm going to pass and won't be replying.

39 [M4F] Central Indiana | Nerdy Therapist Looking to Make a Genuine Connection

4 Upvotes

Hey there! I’m a 39 year-old dad of four, therapist, and self-proclaimed nerd living in Central Indiana. I’m into fantasy, D&D, gaming, good music, and conversations that somehow go from ridiculous jokes to deep talks about life at 2 a.m.
I’m married and polyamorous. My wife and I generally date separately, so I’m looking to build an individual connection with someone who is comfortable with ethical non-monogamy. Transparency, communication, and treating people with respect are important to me. I’m not looking for secrecy, drama, or games. I’d rather build something genuine and see where it goes.
I’m easygoing, supportive, a little sarcastic, and a sucker for people who can make me laugh. I appreciate kindness, curiosity, emotional maturity, and someone who can be both playful and real. Whether we’re talking about our favorite fantasy worlds, sharing music, gaming together, or having a conversation that gets unexpectedly deep, I’m here for the connection.
I’m open to seeing what develops naturally, whether that’s dating, romance, or something that grows over time. I’m not expecting instant chemistry, but I’d love to meet someone who is excited about getting to know each other.
If you’re a fellow nerd, enjoy good conversation, or just want to see if we click, send me a message! Tell me something you’re passionate about, your current nerdy obsession, or a song you’ve had on repeat lately.
Let’s see where a good conversation takes us.

USA 39 [M4F] Outside of Boston, MA - Looking for a Genuine Connection

2 Upvotes

I’m a 39-year-old guy living just outside Boston, hoping to meet a genuine woman and see if we click. I’m big on honesty, good communication, laughter, and getting to know someone beyond the surface. I’d love to find someone I can talk with about anything, share some laughs, enjoy life with, and let things develop naturally.

I’ve lost a significant amount of weight, though I still have some extra, and I’m continuing to work on myself. I enjoy going to the gym, focusing on self-improvement, and trying new things that push me a little outside my comfort zone. I’m proud of the progress I’ve made and want to keep growing, both physically and mentally.

I’m not looking for games or anything fake. I’d like to meet someone who values honesty, enjoys meaningful conversation, and is open to building something real. I think the best connections come from being comfortable being yourselves, laughing together, supporting one another, and seeing where things naturally lead.

If this sounds like your kind of vibe, feel free to reach out and tell me a little about yourself. 😊
