ANNOUNCEMENT: Rule 3 Clarification

86 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]

102 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.

36[F4M] #WV/Online – Tattooed Elder Emo Looking for Her Favorite Distraction

8 Upvotes

Hi! I'm 36, married, ethically nonmonogamous, and living in West Virginia. Yes I'm a cryptid trapped in the body of a woman. Im looking for someone around my age and up who's interested in friendship that could eventually turn into something more.

I'm a tattooed, alternative, cardigan wearing nerd who's equal parts sweetheart and sarcastic menace. I can be incredibly affectionate and sentimental, but I also have a dark sense of humor and will absolutely tease you if I like you.

Music is a huge part of my life. I love cats, being outside, good conversation, ridiculous banter, sharing songs, and those unexpected moments when you realize you've been smiling at your phone for an embarrassingly long time.

I'm not looking to rush into romance or manufacture some instant connection. I want the friendship first.

I'm open to online connections, though someone in or around West Virginia would be lovely.

Ultimately, I'd like to find someone who's kind, emotionally mature, communicative, a little weird, and capable of both meaningful conversations and completely unhinged humor.

If any of that sounds appealing, send me a message! Tell me a little about yourself, where you're from, and what song you've had on repeat lately.

Bonus points if you have tattoos, love cats, or never really grew out of your emo phase. 🖤

USA 34 [M4F] #Phoenix, AZ - Polyamorous Nerd and Musician Looking for a Partner to Build a Family With

2 Upvotes

I’m looking for a long-term relationship with someone kind, considerate, and emotionally available. I’m open to long-distance, but I’d eventually want to live together, so I prefer the US.

I’m bi, polyamorous, and partnered. My partner is supportive, and we’d love to find another partner to build a family with. The vision is for all of us to live together and raise our kids as one household. I want kids with my new partner, but the relationship comes first, so I’d want to build a real connection for at least a year or more before that. I’m hoping for biological kids, and I’m open to fostering if that isn’t possible. I’m looking for someone poly-friendly or already poly, roughly 27-38.

I’m a yapper, a musician, a socialist, and a massive nerd. Sci-fi, fantasy, history, philosophy, public transit. I will talk about any of these for an embarrassingly long time. I play games like Animal Crossing, Mario Odyssey, NBA 2K, and Spider-Man on my Switch and PS4.

As a partner, I communicate, I’m physically affectionate, and I show up with care when things get hard. I survived a cult and had to rebuild my life from scratch, so I’ve learned not to take love for granted. I’m the kind of person who tells my friends I love them.

Looking forward to hearing from you 🥰

Hello! I am married to a lesbian who came out late in life. We cohabitate and maintain a healthy platonic love for each other, and co-parent together.

She has a partner, who also lives with us, and I am looking for someone to share romantic and physical intimacy with, with the hope that will grow into something stable and long-term.

I am hoping for someone who is mature, confident in themselves, and understanding/accepting of how we got where we are.

I love being outdoors, hiking, a good cup of coffee, going on spontaneous adventures, watching football, occasional video games, and spending time with my children.

38 [F4A] Online - Chronically ill nerd looking for close connection

2 Upvotes

I'm looking for something a bit unconventional. I'm hoping to find a connection with someone who cares and is kind. Where we enjoy talking to each other and do things like make each other playlists, exchange creative work, and/or vent about the world or our day.

A true online friend/bff/QPR type connection. Mutual support and affectionate vibes.

A bit about me. I'm very chronically ill and disabled. I have a lot of pain and limitations. I don't talk about it all the time but it's my reality. I just ask that people hold a little space and don't try to fix me, tell me to be positive, or act freaked out by me.

I also have some mental health stuff and I'm neurodivergent. I'm queer, ace, and left-leaning looking for people who are also LGBTQIA+ or friendly and care about what's going on in the world.

Because I'm homebound, my online connections mean a lot to me. I've found a lot of meaning in having an online person I'm close to. Right now I spend most of my time working on a poetry manuscript and recently got a dog. I have an NP who is also disabled.

But I'm around a lot. I listen to a ton of music. I do a little cozy gaming when I can. I watch TV and have some niche favorites (bonus points to anyone who recognizes my cover image).

If you message, please tell me a bit about yourself and your favorite song or show of the moment. It helps when people ask questions, show interest. I'll do the same. Please be aware I can primarily only do text chat due to my disabilities but folks can send me audios.

I'm not the best fit for everyone, but for the right person, I think I have something to offer. I hope to hear from you.

USA 40 [M4F] #Virginia #Online Giant nerd, looking for love and connection

2 Upvotes

Hi I'm Rick. I'm live in Virginia on a homestead with my platonic nesting partner. I'm a stay at home uncle. Family is very important to me and I'm looking to start my own family. I'm a hopeful romantic and looking to build an intentional relationship based on love, trust, communication and respect.

I'm probably the tallest guy in the room. Average build, short black hair and beard, with gray showing up in the sunlight.

I'm recovering from a spinal injury. I'm "lucky" that my injury allowed me to regain the ability to walk, and I have fought hard to get back to where I am now. I still rely on both my cane and wheelchair, depending on the activity. Progress is slow, yet steady. I've made huge strides since i got my knee replaced last march.

I'm now working on getting muscle on my dadbod. I have some loose skin left over from the weight loss. I'm hoping to be able to get out hiking and cool rock finding, in spring '27. Definitely more swimming too! I love being outdoors and going on cool adventures.

Health is really important to me. Most of my life, I was very unhealthy, and as a result, didn't do much. I've sat on the side lines for way too long, and I'm getting out of my comfort zone to fulfill my dreams. I'm in the best shape of my life, even at my "best" prior to my injury. I was 700 lbs at my heaviest. Somewhere around 400 lbs lost on my journey!

Mental health is just as important to me. I have AuDHD and I also have cPTSD from medical trauma. I deal with anxiety and self confidence issues. I'm working every day to be a better man than I was yesterday.

I'm an artist and I'm working on writing my first book based on my home brew D&D Universe. I'm a DM for a few campaigns. I love writing and story telling. I also really enjoy working on my homestead; building new things, taking care of the animals, and shovel work! Lastly, I play games to relax. I like grindy and cozy games. Pokemon, Asphalt Legends, and Minecraft have the majority of my attention at the moment. Music is always on, and i listen to an eclectic mix.

I'm pansexual. I'm very 420, kink and BDSM friendly. I'm a soft dom leaning switch. Open to talking about that or anything else, in our conversations. I'm very chatty and like to yap. So if you like reading and responding with walls of text, to the front of the line!

Looks are important as as personality to me, but so is privacy... so we will share pics within a time when we're both comfortable.

Please be left leaning and queer friendly. Also please don't be a ghoster.

I'm open to Online relationships and especially Online to Irl.

Chat request me with:

  1. Who you are and what you're looking for.
  2. What drove you to message me, showing that you read my post.
  3. What are 5 songs that describe you and why?

38 [M4F] FL - looking for a long term connection.

• Upvotes

First and foremost; #notabot.

Well hello there! I'm 38, 420 friendly, athletic, and liberal. I'm married, and both of us are poly. We simply choose to date seperately, but are aware. We don't often share partners, and neither of us are looking to replace anyone's current dynamic. Simply; honesty tends to be the best policy.

I enjoy dynamics that feel intense and addictive instead of something shallow that dies after one conversation. Ideally you're someone I can stream with, get to know, and have long conversations with - far past when we should both be asleep. Obviously, looking for the fun stuff too. But it's nice when there's substance. Extra points if you're a gamer!

Outside of that, I’m into all types of movies, gaming, and reading (primarily fantasy and dark romance, HUGE DCC fan), and anime. I like people with personality, energy, and enough intelligence to actually keep my attention or a conversation. I'm into martial arts, and just about ANY outdoor activities. I also love to cruise and travel! I generally use Discord or WhatsApp for messaging.

If you're interested, shoot me a DM and let's see if we vibe.

Ask for a pic if you're willing to trade

I’m looking for a partner who lives in France and is cute, kind, and lovely. Age is not a problem.

I want someone who live in France because I would like a longterm relationship and maybe that can be IRL, and even later maybe we can live in the same place.

32 [M4F] #NH or Online - The most charming, nerdy, and flirty of all nerds is looking for YOU to make some new memories together. =)

1 Upvotes

I'm a nurse, which means I spend a lot of my time taking care of other people and the rest of it pursuing extremely important hobbies such as running a D&D campaign that's been going for years. I built an entire fantasy world for it, complete with history, factions, wars, religions, cities, questionable political decisions, and an alarming number of things that my players were absolutely not supposed to kill yet. Ask to see my maps! I also like painting tiny plastic soldiers. My Warhammer collection has gotten completely out of hand. Send help.

So yes, I'm a nerd. But I'm not the kind of nerd who can only talk about one thing. I like getting interested in whatever makes someone else light up. If you can spend an hour explaining some bizarre niche you're passionate about and make me want to learn more, you've probably already got my attention.

I'm sarcastic, reasonably funny, and confident enough to make fun of myself without needing to turn every sentence into a self-deprecating joke. I like playful arguing, teasing, stupid humor, and conversations that can jump from something completely ridiculous into an unexpectedly serious discussion without either of us realizing how we got there.

I'm also a dog person, unfortunately for my dignity. I have two dogs and absolutely no objectivity about either of them. They are both perfect. I have photographic evidence.

What I'm hoping to find is a woman who's curious, playful, intelligent, and has a personality of her own. Someone who can give me sass, take some in return, and isn't afraid of a little flirting once we establish that we actually like each other. I'm not looking to force this into a relationship immediately. Let's talk. If we click, we'll figure out the rest. Maybe we become friends. Maybe there's chemistry. Maybe we end up staying awake until stupid o'clock talking about something neither of us expected to care about.

And if nothing else, I can offer you unsolicited dog pictures and several hours of D&D lore that you absolutely did not ask for.

If you're going to message me, skip the "hey." Tell me something I can actually work with.

38 [M4F] #Germany #Europe #Online - Looking for one meaningful poly connection

1 Upvotes

Hi! I'm Erik, 38M, from Germany. I'm married, a dad of two, and have been practicing polyamory for several years.

What I love about polyamory is the idea that relationships don't have to replace each other to be meaningful. My marriage is an important and secure part of my life, and I'm looking for another connection that can grow into something special in its own way.

One of the most meaningful relationships I've had started with a Reddit message. It showed me that two people who genuinely enjoy each other's company can build something real, even when it starts with a simple conversation.

I'm someone who likes to invest deeply when the connection feels right. I'd rather build one meaningful relationship than have lots of surface-level conversations. I enjoy the everyday parts of connection: checking in during the day, sharing random thoughts, sending photos of little moments, celebrating each other's wins, being there during difficult times, and slowly learning all the small details that make someone who they are.

A little about me: I'm a language teacher, and I'm naturally curious about people. Outside of work, I enjoy photography, music (I've played piano and violin since I was a child and have sung in choirs for years), chess, history, psychology, gaming, and travelling. I love conversations that start with something completely random and somehow turn into something deeper.

As a partner, I'm affectionate once there's mutual comfort. I value kindness, communication, emotional openness, and creating a space where both people feel appreciated and understood.

I'm open to online or long-distance within Europe if the connection is there. For me, emotional distance is much harder than physical distance.

If you're also looking for a genuine connection alongside your existing life, I'd love to hear about you. What kind of relationship are you hoping to build, and what does polyamory mean to you?

7 Upvotes

Hi, you can call me m for now. I’m looking for that spark again, a conversation that doesn’t stop, feeling disappointed at every notification that isn’t from you, yearning all the time.

A bit about me, I’m a dork. I love books, writing, cartoons, tech, stuffed animals, arts and crafts, tattoos, peanut butter, crows, and cozy spaces. I have adhd, I work from home, and I’m happily married. I have a cat, she’s incredibly spoiled. I’m a poet and will send you metaphors or even hint that I practice magic. I’ve been told I’m funny and have a sweet voice. You’ll have to find out.

I value direct communication, whimsy, patience, respect, and kindness. I will respect your life and time, I don’t wish to change anything about your life or intrude at all. Personally, we practice ktp, but my husband is my primary partner. That means my husband is my best friend and the most important person in my life. I’ll talk about him and I would love to hear about your partner(s) too. He does not veto power or direct influence over my relationships, but if we’re ever hanging out and he needs me, I’m going to him. He’s very supportive so he won’t bother me unless emergency.

I’m hoping to find a partner, local would be really cool but I’m open to anyone in the US or Canada. The age range I’m comfortable with is 24-35. That is non negotiable. So if you’re also a nerd, love to yap, can communicate well, match my vibe, and aren’t MAGA or a Trump supporter, shoot me a message about why you responded to my post.

USA 35 [M4F] #Oregon Looking for Nerdy dates and connections

6 Upvotes

It is easy to find FWBs but apparently not to find an actual relationship. Yet still, I try. Is it from the being hoplessly romantic or a glutton for punishment, do you think?

Hey! I’m 35 and have been poly for about 7 years now. I currently have one long-distance partner, but lately I’ve realized that I really miss dating. Not just having a connection with someone, but the whole meeting new people part and actual dating itself.

I’m hoping to find someone within driving distance of me in the PNW. I travel to Eugene often as well. I want someone I can actually spend time with. Hanging out together, cuddling up and watching movies, wandering around bookstores, playing MTG, or spending way too much time nerding out over D&D together. I’m a nerd through and through, and honestly I’m just looking for someone else who is nerdy too. Someone where we can get excited about our interests together, introduce each other to new things, and see what kind of connection develops.

I love movies of all kinds, including horror and romance movies, which is probably an interesting combination. I'm also pretty much always down to binge a new show or a new season of something with someone. I love to read and write. In fact, I wrote a ton. Poetry, and I am working on editing a novel right now.

It has been brought to my attention that I am also incredibly impulsive. If I have the gas money, it really doesn’t take much convincing for me to go on a random road trip. I love just getting in the car and going somewhere, whether there’s an actual plan or we figure it out along the way. Blaring music and singing at the top of my lungs. 

Psychology is another huge interest of mine. I can nerd out about it for way too long, and I eventually plan on getting my PhD in psychology specifically psychopathology if you like conversations about why people are the way they are, there’s a pretty good chance we’ll have something to talk about.

I’m not trying to force a connection into a specific box right away. I miss getting to know someone, flirting, going on dates, getting comfortable with each other, and seeing where things naturally go. 

It is important to know I am also into BDSM. Vanilla is not something I do.

If any of that sounds like your kind of thing, send me a message and tell me a little about yourself. Tell me what you’re currently nerding out about, your favorite horror movie, or something!

Hi there,

I’m a 6'2 tall, 34-year-old german guywith an athletic build. I’m the kind of person who needs fresh air to feel alive. Whether I’m out jogging, casting a line while fishing, hiking up a trail, or cruising on my motorcycle, I love being active and outdoors.

However, I’m looking for someone to balance that energy. I have a strong preference for women who identify as BBW. I love a woman with curves, softness, and confidence in her body.

What I’m looking for in you:

  • You are curvy/BBW and own it. I’m not looking for stick-thin; I’m looking for lush and lovely.
  • You know how to keep a conversation flowing. I love good banter and getting to know someone beyond just "hey" and "what's up." Let’s actually talk..

Tell me your favorite way to spend a Sunday or your favorite travel spot!

I would like to share a pic early on!

Hiya~

Just your not so local neighborhood Demi/Pan Trans Man here putting his feelers out for….well….anything really.

Being demisexual makes the dating scene a bit more difficult for me as I don’t get immediate sexual or romantic attraction right off the bat. I’m a slow burn and need emotional connection and safety before I feel those butterflies in my stomach.

If you are patient and want to build a deeper connection I’m your guy.

A bit about me.

I’m into the alt lifestyle, love to read and collect books, have a wide array of hobbies I enjoy such as knitting, crochet, cross stitch, painting/drawing (whatever keeps my hands busy). I love the strange, unusual and obscure. Cooking and baking are my love languages and at the end of the day I love to just cuddle and fall asleep while watching a movie. I’m like a cat in that way, if you can make me comfortable enough to fall asleep you’ve got something special.

What I’m looking for is someone who is patient, understanding of my mental health struggles as I’m AuDHD, isn’t expecting a fast romance, can make me laugh and who likes to go out but it also comfortable staying in. Intentional time and good communication as key.

If that sounds like something you might be looking for drop me a DM. Would love to hear from you. 🖤

USA 30 [M4F] #Chicago - Fit and Bearded and I make a pretty mean dinner 😉 Looking for chemistry and something real

2 Upvotes

Hey, you! Yes, you, the cute woman scrolling through Reddit wondering where all the fun, affectionate, emotionally available men are hiding.

Well, I can't speak for the rest of them, but I figured I'd introduce myself. 😉

I'm 30, living in Chicago, and looking for another partner. Someone to laugh with, flirt with, go on dates with, and hopefully fall head over heels for eventually. I'm a hopeless romantic, but I promise not to plan our third anniversary before our first date.

So, who's this handsome stranger? 😏

I'm a 30-year-old Mexican guy, 5'9" (yes, actually 5'9"), muscular build, full beard, hazel eyes, and glasses or contacts.

I enjoy dressing well and putting effort into my appearance. Am I attractive? I'd like to think so. My mom certainly thinks I'm handsome, and she's clearly an unbiased source. 😂

I'm an electrical engineer, naturally extroverted, goofy, affectionate, adventurous, and a little nerdy. I'm a happy, positive person who loves making others smile. I value honesty, vulnerability, good communication, and being unapologetically yourself.

**Some of my favorite things:**

- Cooking (especially for someone I like!)

- Salsa dancing

- Playing guitar and singing (amateur at both 🎸)

- Weightlifting and cycling

- Hiking, snowboarding, and roller coasters

- Movies, gaming, coffee, and Chicago sports (Bear Down! 🐻)

- My adorable beagle 🐶

I'm equally happy going on spontaneous adventures or spending a lazy Sunday cuddling on the couch.

Let's talk polyamory 💕

I'm happily engaged to my fiancée/nesting partner, and we've practiced polyamory for about four years.

We date independently, and you're dating me, not auditioning to date a couple. I prefer kitchen-table poly but am flexible. Meeting my fiancée is entirely your choice.

We're open to an organically developing triad if everyone genuinely wants that, but there's absolutely no expectation or requirement.

I have the emotional availability and time for another meaningful relationship. Ideally, I'd love to see each other weekly, potentially 2–3 times if you're nearby. Sleepovers, vacations, and holidays are possibilities as things develop.

What catches my attention? ❤️

I'm looking for a woman aged 22–40, preferably around Chicago, although I'm open to long distance.

Kindness, intelligence, confidence, ambition, humor, and someone who's passionate about something are incredibly attractive to me.

You can be single, partnered, married, or new to polyamory, as long as you're genuinely open to it.

Quality time and physical affection are huge for me. I'm also very kink-friendly, but we can save those conversations for when there's mutual chemistry. 😉

Ultimately, I'm hoping for something romantic and long-term, but I'm happy starting as friends and seeing where things go.

Your move 😉

I'm happy to exchange pictures early!

Tell me about yourself! What's the best movie you've watched recently? What's something weirdly nerdy you're obsessed with?

**Bonus points if you tell me what you'd want me to cook for our first cooking date.** 😉❤️

I am open to long distance but would prefer someone in the Midwest at least. My dm's are open. I am only looking for female company at the moment so please no cis men. Really just looking to make a connection. Bonus points if you have a pet and are willing to send me ALL the pictures. Thanks for reading!!

USA 35 [F4M/F] Looking for a compatible couple.

15 Upvotes

I newly live in Minneapolis and love the city. Separated and pending divorce, I work more than full time (especially this time of year) and try to make time for getting out to see the city and surrounding nature. And yeah, I am wholly unprepared for the winter!

I have a few hobbies I am still improving at. Classical guitar, crochet, writing. I am the type who enjoys the journey and not so concerned with mastery. I hope to adopt a cat in the very near future. I spend too much time falling in love with every baby on the shelter site. Years of therapy and constant self awareness of how I’m navigating the world.

A few bits on me physically. My job is physically demanding but I am overweight. I am definitely fit, couldn’t do what I do without strong calves. Short, long brown hair, big brown eyes, fair enough the sun has a vendetta. I consider myself low femme.

I am looking to join an existing M/F couple. A couple who can understand my need for solitude and closeness. Who can participate in interdependence instead of codependency. I’m a low stress, level emotion kind of person and seek the same. Inter-triad jealously is not natural to me. Please be invest in self-care, whatever that means to you both. I believe the work is never done when it comes to growing. Please don’t be younger than 30, I find it harder to relate to too much younger.

I am open to local and long distance within the US. My DMs are open and I am open to any questions in comments if that is preferred. I do like to chat over discord and will want to move there from Reddit when the time is right.

Thank you for reading and take care out there!
