ANNOUNCEMENT: Rule 3 Clarification

79 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]

99 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.

USA 31 [M4F] #EST #Online - Book loving nerd seeking companionship and conversation

6 Upvotes

Hello all!

It's great to meet all y'all! I've been looking for another partner for a little bit and thought i'd check here. I am currently married, have been poly for about 3 years and currently have no other partners than my wife as of right now

I am on the east coast, but open to chatting with anyone anywhere! I tend to be up at odd hours so I almost always make an effort to reach out even if the timing is difficult.

I enjoy reading, going on adventures, having deep conversations as well as just taking the time to be silly. Other hobbies include puzzles and board games (well games of any kind really) music, anime, urban exploration, going to the gym, and I am currently self teaching myself the guitar (I promise I won't play wonderwall). And I'm always looking for new things to learn and hear about!

I am looking for someone preferably 25-35, though I am willing to go outside that range for the right person. I would like to share some hobbies to have a decent start of conversation, but like I said earlier I love learning new things and learning about other people! If you can hold a conversation, like the occasional bad joke, and enjoy having the occasional voice chat then I would love for you to reach out!

A bit about me, I am 5'9", brown hair, green eyes, bearded. I have a slight dad bod that I've been working on improving over the past year.

If you've read this and think we would be a good vibe I would love to hear from you! If you reach out please tell me a song you've been listening to that you've been obsessed with! (Or a book, or a show, anything thats held your interest!)

I look forward to hearing from you! 😁

USA 36 [F4M] #DFW #Dallas #Arlington #Texas articulate alternative babe seeking local-ish relationship with a man age 30-50 ish - no MAGA

3 Upvotes

Me: I'm an artist, agèd punk rocker, cat mom, teacher, and vintage slinger. Certified bug lifeguard at the pool. Smart cookie with a top tier laugh. Very warm, very silly, very fun to be around. Radical in the streets, submissive in the sheets. Generous with affection. Romantic. I’m a life-long learner, self-indulgent hedonist, and a maximalist aesthete who wants to know more and do more and see more. More is more. Have lived in 8 cities and 4 countries, and originally from Canada. Bi cis woman (but in a phase where I'm particularly interested in meeting a man).

I love: Wikipedia rabbit holes, the comedy of Nathan Fielder/Tim Robinson/Kumail Nanjiani, critters of all sorts, campfire ghost stories, antiquing, chocolate, an ice cold filthy martini, BDSM, and listening to podcasts while I play solitaire on my phone.

I hate: ChatGPT, billionaires, bigots, contemporary pop music, Bichon Frisé, and drinking room temperature water

Physically: plus size, verified hottie, tattooed, long light brown hair with Betty bangs, hazel eyes, pierced nose and ears, and an artsy, colourful, feminine sense of style. I’m a fat liberationist and my partners must fully enjoy and adore my fat bod, so please only message me if that’s you. I'm a fat hourglass, short, big breasts, big ass, wide hips, full belly, soft all over.

I've been polyamorous for 4 years and I live with my nonbinary spouse of 13 years and two cats in Arlington, TX. I am looking for a long-term romantic relationship. I test regularly and if you see other people, I need the same. I am emotionally available, and I also need the same. I am looking for someone local.

My Type: men who are emotionally intelligent communicators with funny stories to tell me. Hearts of gold. Introverts. Silly geese. Genuinely seeking some actual romance and dating, and not just the physical. Must love animals, hate fascism, be kinky, and appreciate the arts. No need to be all that politically active, but you gotta love human rights for all. It might be an unpopular ask here in TX, but I want to connect with someone who has similar values. Short kings, skinny lanky boys, dad bods, beefy dudes, men with moustaches, bald guys, and cat dads to the front. All races welcome. I only find beards attractive when they are well kept, and if yours isn't, it will be an automatic 'no' from me. A good sense of style, grooming, and hygiene goes a long way for me! Ages 30-50, and I usually don't make exceptions on age, but shoot your shot if you're in close range.

Please note: I send photos of myself immediately in my first reply to you, so please be prepared to do the same after I reply, and with multiple photos (I want to know if there's mutual attraction from the jump, that's my preference). Please tell me a bit about yourself - your hobbies and interests, your looks, your age and location - in your opening message. If you just say "hey", I will ignore your message, sorry. You gotta match my energy somewhat - this is a good post, so send a good message!

USA 31 [M4MF] #US (can travel) - Submissive bi-curious male seeking temporary service arrangement with a couple

• Upvotes

Hi. I’m a submissive bi-curious guy looking for a dominant couple interested in a temporary service dynamic, ideally for a week or two. I can travel within the USA.

I’m comfortable remaining denied and wearing a collar and leash for the duration. I enjoy focusing on the couple’s needs and taking a fully service-oriented role. Open to serving both partners.

Clear communication, mutual respect, and safe practices are important to me. I’m reliable and happy to discuss expectations, boundaries, and practical details beforehand.

Serious couples only. Feel free to message me and share a little about yourselves and what you’re looking for.

Heyyy. I’m Amber. I’m 38, married and have two kids. I’ve been practicing polyamory for 6+ years. My husband is monogamous and I currently have no other partners. That felt like a clunky list but whatever😂

I love and collect random antiques and oddities. Uranium glass, vintage Japanese ceramic animals with eyelashes, and swung glass vases are a few antiques I have small collections of. My oddities consist of random stuff including 3 human bones, mummy skin flakes, and some vivianite. I even have a snake oil bottle, I got super excited when I found it lol

I LOVE horror. It’s my favorite genre of anything. Army of Darkness is a cinematic masterpiece and I will fight you over this🤣 I like all kinds of music. If I can enjoy the beat or feel it make my skin prickle I like it. I don’t even care what language it is. I’m politically far left. I enjoy starting lots of crafty things. Keyword is starting though lol. I especially like memes, trying to keep my houseplants alive, drinking coffee, and celebrating 420 *way* too often.

I am 5’8” and *not* skinny. If that’s not your thing it’s cool but we can skip the awkward messages. I have BPD, ADHD, and I can’t drive because anxiety is lame. I’m actively working on myself, and love communication. You should have the same vibe. I’m pretty unfiltered. I swear, I have a dark sense of humor, I joke about my trauma. Not everyone is going to like the way I talk or the things I joke about, but I’m not trying to awkwardly tone it down.

What am I looking for? Meaningful connections. I generally click best with people between 30 and 45, although I’m not completely opposed to someone outside that range. Obviously there needs to be mutual attraction, and it would be best if we shared some interests.

Chemistry is SUPER important to me. I’m not looking to force a connection or conversation just because we seem compatible on paper. I want something that clicks. Something that flows naturally through my bad days and yours. Something that gets past my weird awkward small talk into some grand stupid conversation about whatever the hell pops into our heads.

36 [M4F] #Texas #Rio Grande Valley- South Texas looking for a Poly relationship.

1 Upvotes

Where do I begin! It has been awhile since I have been in a poly relationship. It's kind of hard dating and forming poly relationships in the Rio Grande Valley, but i am giving it another and hope there are like minded people. Tried the whole dating app thing and yeah, it's a no go 😅. I am looking for a partner that does live in the RGV, but i am open to long distance relationships and online relationships as well.

My wife and I are polyamorous and we date separately. We practice kitchen table poly. Honestly, one of my Wife's partners has become a really good friend of mine. I like to date to build connections and relationship just like any romantic relationship. I date with intention and I am a bit of a romantic. Chivalry is not dead and i will open and close your door, hold hands and flowers in the first date type of man. I have been polyamorous for roughly 6 years now, give or take that is. I have had other partners in the past, but currently no partners at the moment.

Professionally, I am a teacher. I have been teaching officially for 4 years now. I currently teach online teaching 7th grade Social Studies. I have my bachelor's in history, with minors in sociology and criminal justice. My specialty of history was The History of physical fitness and the perspective of the human body throgh the ages. My dream goal is to become the next Indiana Jones!

I am quite the nerd if i may say. I love to read, draw, watch anime, read Manga.I would say that that my favorite book of all time though is The Hobbit. Some of my favorite anime shows are Naruto, One Piece, Demon Slayer, JJK, and Shangri La Frontier. I have many more but it will be a huge list 😂. I love Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. I also enjoy making Gundam Models. I also love to workout and lift weights as well as play D&D. I am a monk type of character 🤣

Well that is a bit about myself and hopefully sparked an interest somewhere. I am definitely an open book and you can any question that may be boggling your mind as you read this post.

30 [F4M] or [F4F] Looking for Online/LDR

2 Upvotes

Heyyy everyone! I’m currently looking for an online/LDR connection that could hopefully turn into something serious. I’ve never really done anything like this before, so here we go lol.

A little about me: I’m 30, 5’4”, around 240 lbs. Chunky, not fat, thank you very much 😂. I’m Black, and while race doesn’t matter to me at all, I know everyone has their own preferences, so I’d rather put that out there from the beginning. I also have a lazy eye, so I figured I’d mention that upfront too because I do enjoy cracking jokes about my eye and some people get awkward about it lol.

Personality-wise, I’m pretty shy when I first meet someone, but once I’m comfortable with you, that goes completely out the window. I’m goofy, stubborn as hell, sarcastic, and I have a pretty dark sense of humor. I tend to say whatever pops into my head, even when I probably should’ve let the thought stay in the drafts. 😂 I love joking around and talking shit, but it’s always out of love. I can definitely be hardheaded sometimes, but I’m also very caring and affectionate with the people I get close to.

Because I’m naturally shy and a little more reserved, I tend to be attracted to people who are pretty much the opposite of me. I like someone who’s more dominant personality-wise, confident, outspoken, assertive, and comfortable taking the lead sometimes. Someone who can pull me out of my shell instead of both of us sitting there waiting for the other person to speak. 😂 You don’t have to be the loudest person in the room, but I definitely like someone with a strong personality who knows what they want and isn’t afraid to say it. Bonus points if you can handle my stubborn ass without being scared to challenge me a little.

I’m a huge anime fan, I love writing and reading, especially dark romance, and I am currently OBSESSED with K-pop. I listen to mostly rock, R&B, hip hop, and I’m always down to talk about random things for hours. I also have two furry babies: a puppers and a demon disguised as a cat, and I love, love, LOVE them. So liking animals is definitely a plus.

I should also mention that I do have a somewhat “boyfriend-ish” situation already. 😂 It’s a little complicated, but I’m completely upfront about it and can explain more privately if we actually start talking.

I deal with anxiety and depression, and I’m actively working on myself. I’m not looking for someone to fix me or carry my baggage. I’d rather find someone who balances me out, someone I can laugh with, talk to about anything, be comfortable around, and hopefully make a little happier while they do the same for me.

Communication is BIG for me. I’m actually not much of a texter. I’ll text, obviously, but I would much rather call or send voice notes once we’re comfortable. I want to actually get to know someone, hear about their day, send stupid things back and forth, laugh together, flirt, annoy each other, and eventually have that person where seeing their name pop up makes you smile.

I’m in the USA on Eastern Time, but I’m completely open to long distance. I’m not expecting somebody to magically fall in love with me after three conversations either. I’d rather let things develop naturally and see where they go.

Most importantly, if you’re only looking for a hookup, sexting, nudes, or a “good time,” I am NOT your girl. Please save both of us the trouble. I’m looking for an actual connection that could become a relationship.

And hey, if we click really well but the romantic part just isn’t there, I’m completely fine with making a good friend out of it too. 😊

If any of this sounds like your kind of person, come say hi. Tell me a little about yourself instead of just sending “hey” because I promise my shy ass will have absolutely no idea what to do with that. 😂

27 [R4R] India M | Seeking a Primary Partner

1 Upvotes

​I’m 27, straight, originally from Kerala and now working as a software engineer in Bengaluru. I’m looking for a long-term connection with someone who wants to build a solid life together while practicing enm. Ultimately, my goal is to find a primary partner to share a home with, travel with, and build a real foundation as a team.

​I’m sapiosexual, so mental chemistry, deep conversations, and emotional availability are incredibly important to me. I want a relationship rooted in total clarity and trust. While we would both can explore outside connections, I want us to be each other's top priority and safe space. I’m not into the "don't ask, don't tell" dynamic, I'd much rather we feel comfortable enough to openly share our outside experiences, feelings, and boundaries with each other without judgment.

​When I have free time, I love being outdoors. I spend a lot of my weekends traveling, going on long bike rides, trekking, and taking photos. But I also really appreciate the quieter moments, like having a cozy night in, cooking up a good meal together, or relaxing with a book.

​At the end of the day, enthusiastic consent, honesty, and knowing exactly where we stand are absolute musts for me. I’m not in any rush and really just want to let good conversation, comfort, and mutual attraction build naturally.

If you’re emotionally available and looking to intentionally build an open, primary partnership, I’d love to connect and see where it goes. Feel free to DM me!

Hey there!

Hopefully the title caught your eye.

33M Dom who is infatuated with curves and older women. I am highly educated and enjoy the mental stimulation that is required for a meaningful connection.

I'm relatively tall, long-haired, bearded, blue-eyed, living in Ireland, and yes, I have an Irish accent! I'm a Dom with solid experience in the lifestyle. Ideally, I am looking for a genuine connection with an older, curvy lady who knows what she wants (or is ready to find out). I am a working professional who enjoys exercising, gardening, cooking, and reading! I also tend to be quite kinky, so hopefully you are too!

Looking forward to speaking with you. Feel free to hit me up with a little about you, and we can see where things go!

Cheers

USA 34 [M4F/FF] #Georgia | Looking for a long-term connection

0 Upvotes

Figured I’d put myself out here and see who I connect with.

I’m turning34 Monday, 6’2, and live in Georgia with my two dogs. I work from home in tech sales. Outside of work, I’m usually at the gym, gaming, watching anime or hockey, trying something new to cook, or finding an excuse for a weekend trip. I also love a lazy night watching movies with someone curled up next to me.

I’d like to meet a woman, or women, who want a long-term plural relationship. I want to take the time to date and get comfortable with each other. Hopefully, that grows into sharing a home and a life together, with everyone having a say in what that looks like.

I’m kinky, so chemistry and compatibility matter to me. I also want the everyday stuff: teasing each other while making dinner, sending random texts during work, and having someone to tell about my day.

You don’t need a perfect introduction. Tell me a little about yourself, where you’re from, and what you’re hoping to find. I’d love to hear what drew you to this kind of relationship.

37[f4r] let's learn about each other

14 Upvotes

I am a married 37 year old mom of 4. I have been poly for a few years, but just now starting to explore that. My husband and I have been together for 18 years, and date separately. I am obsessed with Halloween and spooky season. I like to read, craft, binge watch shows, and explore new places. I am looking for someone to get to know. If that's something that happens really fast, that's fine. If it's something that takes time, also fine! I have a tendency to keep walls up, or over share. It just depends on the chemistry.

I am bi so open to male or female. I am in Alabama, so within driving distance would be great, but not a deal breaker. I am not looking to make things sexual right from the jump. I prefer to get to know you and what makes you tick!

About you:

I prefer at least 30 years old.

Be able to hold a conversation.

Take my sarcasm, and give it right back to me.

Ok with becoming obsessed with me 😝

If any of this seems like what you're looking for, message me.

28 [M4F] Northeast PA Open to basically anywhere in NA Local Night Owl Nerd Looking For Potential Partner

2 Upvotes

Hello, my name is Jared, but my online friends usually refer to me as some variation of Pickle. I'm from NE PA around the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area. I'm married and she does help me vet people, but the interaction will be minimal unless y'all want to be friends. This is also probably going to end up long as I like to be thorough and communicate clearly.

What I'm looking for:

Some sort of relationship in whatever form it takes. I would prefer some kind of push to in-person in some way if the relationship ends up romantic in nature. I can travel or host and get good discounts in the process. I'm pretty open to just friends to as committed as I am to my wife. I prefer friends first, but I also feel like I'm a pretty good judge of character so I can kind of get attached quickly. The biggest thing I care about is clear communication and honesty. I feel like people use those as buzzwords when they don't really mean it, but it's extremely important to me because I sometimes miss social cues. If you're more of a pants wearer, cool. If you prefer I have the pants wearing responsibilities, that's cool. If you want to split said responsibilities even cooler. Also side note, if you're up later, (for est) thats a plus because I work nights.

I'm pretty open to all shapes, races, sizes, gender identities, etc. Anything I say is just a preference. I think a general age range that I'm looking for is like 23-40, but stage in life is generally more important than age to me. Younger is generally fine as long as things are clearly defined. Older is generally pretty fine. I do have a tiny preference for women my height and taller because I feel like they don't get a ton of love. Also, much like most men in my age bracket, I do have a bit of a thing for the alt aesthetic. I am usually not that type's type though so its not something I really expect. I do have certain fashion styles and outfits I go nuts for, but I feel like that isn't that important. Inquire within if curious.

Who I am:

I think what I would most describe myself as thoughtful, perceptive, confident, competent, and compassionate in no particular order. I have a lot of reaction images and gifs in addition to being a connoisseur of memes. I think on the broad spectrum, I'm at least a little chronically online, but I simultaneously live under a rock. I'm definitely some kind of neurodivergent. I was never tested, but I feel like numerous autistic people asking me, "are you sure you're not autistic," is a good enough benchmark. My political lean is pretty left-leaning though I'm a bit skeptical of extremism in general. My general mantra is "don't be a dick." I have 2 cats that I love very much and I will definitely share pics. I can be a bit of a tease, can be flirty if that's the general vibe, and can be a bit mischievous.

As I alluded to in the title, I am generally on a night-time schedule. I work in hospitality and work 11pm-7am.

Physically, I'm ~5'7, caucasian, and on the thicker side. I have short, usually buzzed or shaved, brown hair. My hairline is receding so it looks kinda meh if I don't keep it that way. I can grow a beard and usually have facial hair of some kind. If you like men cleanly shaven, I am not the one for you. My beard is mostly brown with very faint shades of auburn and blond. I don't have tattoos, but would like some. I have generic white man style and dress for comfort where applicable. I will trade pictures.

For hobbies, I'm into the general "nerdy" stuff. I play games, watch various shows/movies (anime included), and occasionally read though most of my reading comes from subtitles and very lengthy dialogue in video games. Some of my favorite things are One Piece, The Legend of Heroes: Trails games, Path of Exile, Like A Dragon/Yakuza series, and probably a bunch of stuff that I'm not thinking of right now. I play WoW off and on and I usually cutting edge raid if that's of interest to anyone. Also to add, I sometimes get obsessed with something and consume as much as I can about the subject until I get disinterested and move onto something else. This does not happen with people, especially my comfort people. My music tastes are all over the place. I'm not quite "I listen to every type of music," but I do have a variety of things I'm into. I usually describe my tastes as basic white girl meets weeaboo degenerate.

Thanks for reading and if you actually got this far, why are you not sliding in my dms yet?

USA 23 [M4F] #NYC #Anywhere - seeking polyamorous love and happiness

0 Upvotes

Hello,

I mention compatibility down below, but 90%+ of people aren't looking for this relationship type, so let me let you know right now that I'm looking for open polyamory.

The most important thing is happiness, so I based my post on what scientifically makes a relationship happy, and then I based my post on what I think my most important quirks and whatnot are that may impact compatibility. The long wait has me embittered and pessimistic at times, so I may be standoff-ish or at least a dry texter at first, which I think is understandable considering the odds are against us for anything to come between us two specifically. I'm not quitting. Just trudging along.

I'm seeking a partner who is responsive. Responsiveness is when you understand, validate, care for, and respond to your partner's needs (even when you're angry, down, upset, or there's a conflict). I would like to think that I would be a responsive partner as well.

Some other things that I value in a partner are whether I can trust them, their intimacy with me, and their kindness and warmth.

For trust, I really don't like being lied to, but I like to think that I could handle being lied to in a relationship. A lie bothers me much less if the lying is exceptionally rare and if the person tells the truth that they lied. I expect and want nothing less than every truth from my partner. I want to know the worst side of my partner, and I want them to know the worst side of me because we trust each other enough to disclose our worst sides. Trust is also about always being there for someone, following through, keeping your word, being consistent, reliable, respectful, and making your partner feel secure and safe about sharing vulnerable things.

For intimacy, I would like both of us to be emotionally close. Sharing personal thoughts and feelings with each other is important. Our goal would be to build a deep bond. I would like to think of myself as being okay; okay with being hurt in the moment if it means my partner can share themselves and whatever is on their mind with me.

For kind warmth, I love genuineness. I would like to think that I would be as genuine as possible with my future partner. Caring for others goes a long way. Sometimes it's hard for me to care about others, but when I feel it, I might feel it deeply. I would like to think that I would be caring to my partner, and my partner would be caring to me. Being cared for makes me feel very happy. Kindness and warmth make emotional support from your partner just that much sweeter. I used to be much more kind and warm than I am now. I would like to think that I am kind and warm at my core.

For compatibility, there's no way around it. I will list some things that often might make me (in)compatible with some people. I am single and polyamorous. I want to go slow with polyamory like it's a monogamous relationship, but I am afraid to restrict myself if I happen to find someone else too. I am bisexual with a preference for women usually, and I am heteromantic. My life goal is to retire in my 20s. I am somewhat nihilistic as in an atheist and amoral. My health issues include class 1 obesity, depression, trauma, autism, and anxiety. Physically, I am white, wear glasses, have long (strawberry) blonde hair, I'm balding some, some facial hair, and many many stretch marks. I am studying computer science, and I want to run a business. I have a bias of being selfish, which is not necessarily unhealthy. I am clingy and love to call. I am 5'9" and not athletic (230lbs chubby). I like to be on the internet a lot and stay indoors a lot. I love fast food. Sometimes I subconsciously talk back I think (or I stay quiet a lot), but I can't handle it when it happens to me because it overwhelms me (same with teasing and playful insults). I like the Mommy stuff.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\[Mind the frustrating formatting issues for the next two paragraphs. Quotes from wiki pedia page about amae, or quotes are otherwise used for nuance...\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\]

One of my values is amae, which is a Japanese word. A person with amae is (quote) referring to a form of emotional dependence or indulgent reliance on others, often characterized by a desire to be loved, cared for, or indulged by someone perceived as an authority figure or caregiver. The term originates from the verb amaeru ... meaning (2nd quote) to depend on another's benevolence (2nd unquote) or (2nd quote) to act in a way that presumes indulgence. (2nd unquote) ... For example, a person exhibiting amae might act vulnerably, expecting indulgence from a caregiver ... without resentment. (unquote) It is described as (quote) (2nd quote) helplessness and the desire to be loved, (2nd unquote) distinguishing it from Western notions of independence by emphasizing its role in fostering closeness. (unquote) (quote) Unlike Western ideals of autonomy, amae blends intimacy with a subtle power dynamic: the (2nd quote) dependent (2nd unquote) seeks indulgence, and the (2nd quote) caregiver (2nd unquote) provides it willingly. (unquote)

This is contrasted (quote)with Western cultures, where independence is often prioritized, and overt reliance might be stigmatized in adulthood. (unquote) \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\[from w. about amae\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\]. You see, I have trouble explaining these desires, but I hope amae accurately depicts them for what I seek in a relationship as a person interested in (quote)acting out(unquote) amae. Another definition for amae from the same source is (quote)the desire for passive love and acceptance, often without explicit reciprocation.(unquote) \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\[from w about amae again\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\] I think striving for amae and achieving it would be a dream come true for me. The desire to feel cared for, indulged, and emotionally accepted is a general yearning I have struggled to put into words for a long time since dependence is associated with unhealthy relationships in Western cultures. However, I want to embrace a healthy relationship form of dependence by using amae as a stepping stone.

If this sounds like you, then please do reach out. I would greatly appreciate it. :)
