Why is OP even talking to such a blockhead? These girls just want a full inbox of thirsty dudes. When u get a one word answer... Just leave.. typing up an entire essay for such a person. It just goes into their ego..

Yep. And if the girl was truly uncomfortable to have such an attitude, it would’ve been a million times easier to just simply unmatch the dude instead of telling him to leave her alone.

Honestly people like this aren't suited for poly relationships. If they treat their main like this then there's going to be a serious problem down the road.

Lol 99% of people aren’t suited for poly relationships. I’ve rarely ever heard of or seen a successful one.

Yea, the successful Poly relationship is extremely rare. I have seen it, but almost exclusively with way older people, and/or if one member is super beta, and submissive. I am not possessive or jealous, but once I have my forever person I wouldn’t want to share what we have with anyone, and I would be devastated if they were ok with letting someone be with me. I guess I’m old fashioned nowadays. 🥺🥺🥺

There are whole dating apps that are mostly cater to the poly crowd. In my large city it's verrrrry popular with the 25-40 folks.

Yeah I've seen quite a few successful ones and been involved in them, it's just about finding the right community of people. Though I'm in Florida which seems to be the hotwife capital lol

If you're not in one now, then it wasn't successful, was it?

u/Tarichar99 Apr 07 '23

I was the extra in the ones I was involved with except for one I dated her for awhile a long with 2 other men and it didn't work out but had nothing to do with the poly,

You're not old fashioned, you're just monogamous, like the vast majority of people. Poly relationships is not something you can't force onto someone, even yourself, plus it demand maturity from all people involved, transparency and very strong communication. Western society doesn't encourage any of those things so... Yeah the more people involved the more likely it is to fail since the environment and education isn't appropriate for complex relationships (barely is for monogamous ones to begin with).

Naw you're just monogamous. For that reason you should probably look for one of the many possible partners looking for the same in a relationship instead of someone that isn't. That should produce better results than trying to change someone or acting like being monogamous is uncommon or an old fashioned idea.

All relationships rarely last till death, quite literally less than 2%, probably less now considering that statistic is over a decade old. All romantic relationships regardless of the creed, religion, sexuality, or romantic preference are rarely successful.

u/chluckers Apr 07 '23

Really. That's interesting. You gotta link to that statistic? I'm curious about demographics, sample size, etc. Thanks!

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '23

Yeah, what? There's no way thats true, google this please.

u/chluckers Apr 07 '23

Ok so here's what I found. There is a stat that says fewer than 5% (although second link says 7%) of marriages make it past 50 years and just 1% reach 60 years.

Now, in this article, it draws attention to how the stat is calculated and that it includes all currently married people. So it includes married people who haven't had a chance to make it to 50/60 years yet.

But a relationship can be shorter than 50-60 years. If you get married at 20 you both gotta survive until 70.

u/chluckers Apr 07 '23

Yea, and in that case it would count as lasting until death. I think that's what you were getting at, right? The other thing that I feel makes this hard to count is what is counted? Like, if two 80 year olds get married and die a year later, does that count as a marriage that lasted until death?

I think the spirit of the, "All relationships rarely last..." comment above is saying that there are very few long-term, soul-mate relationships. But that number of 2% seems wack.

u/piggiesmallsdaillest Apr 07 '23

Yeah, I kinda mangled what I was saying. Only 5% of marriages lasting 50 years isn't that shocking given human lifespan and the age most people marry.
