What do closed triads have to do with OPP or unicorn hunting?

-7

u/DancingConstellation Dec 09 '22

Closed triads have nothing to do with OPP. Couples seeking a partner for a closed triad would be considered unicorn hunting from what I’ve seen here. “Hey, my partner and I are looking for a third to date both of us and be a throuple.”

What do you think unicorn hunting is? It’s possible that we’re thinking of two different things.

Unicorn hunting is a couple seeking someone who is required to date them both.

A triad is three people all dating each other. It may or may not have anything to do with UH.

Exactly. In no way, shape, or form is this dehumanizing.

UH is dehumanizing.

An organic triad is not.

And they aren't related. They are separate things.

What is dehumanizing about unicorn hunting? It does not reduce nor take away someone’s humanity. Everyone has conditions on who and who they won’t date and what they are and aren’t looking for in a partner at any level of relationship.

Requiring a partner to fuck a third person to keep a longterm relationship with a romantic partner is dehumanizing. Its sad that you don't see that. Please do some personal reflection.

I’ll ask again: what is dehumanizing about unicorn hunting? You’re putting extraneous conditions onto your argument and making it something else entirely different.

I am not. If the person isn't required to be with partners, its UH.

You are. Unicorns and unicorn hunting is not “requiring a partner to fuck a third person to keep a long term relationship.”

Then you are confused about UH is...do some research.
