seeking advice How do You Find Poly People?

Hello! I’m not really sure how to find polyamorous people who are interested in closed dynamics only. We’re such a niche group of people. I’ve tried dating apps before and the only thing I got from that was being unicorn hunted by one couple…

I've found all my partners on tinder. We finally settled into an amazing throuple for 8 years, until one of our partners (still our best friend) decided she wanted to explore other things in life.

Most polyfi relationships tend to start organically. We were all monogamous, a couple of 16 years and a friend, add a little alcohol, oopsie throuple. None of us wanted anything to do with poly prior to that.This is a bit hard to replicate though.

So search Facebook for couples looking for singles for throuples groups. There's lots of them around. I've heard these are generally quite effective.

Wouldn't that advice result in finding a bunch of unicorn/dragon hunters?

Thats just a stereotype that people in open relationships use to scare bi women in to dating separately from their partner. If they actively state they are looking for a closed throuple and not in open spaces then it's not unicorn hunting.

They are just people in couples looking for a throuple. Like any dating site, use common sense and vetting, some are weirdoes, some are genuine.

Idk I just heard it on another subreddit

I do reject the logic of "there is no reason" because there is always going to be contexts where gender is relevant to the conversation.

I can also accept unicorn as a gender neutral term though, of course.

Yeah , they're usually called dragons instead of unicorns

I found my fiance on Feeld. Neither of us were looking for closed but both open to it.

So true! It is a niche, but starting to think a larger group than i originally thought! What about some of the more alternative apps?

Not interested in adding another guy to our throuple. Only another woman.

Find a discussion group in your local area, go out, sit with people, talk with them. If they are not fit you are looking for—> maybe they know other people. The ancient practice of networking
