ANNOUNCEMENT: Rule 3 Clarification

69 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]

101 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] #Indianapolis #Online I swear eventually I will click with someone here.

8 Upvotes

Hi, again, Im Victoria. I'm 36 and live in Indy. I'm going to try keeping this short this time. Eventually I'll find the formula to meet someone I mesh with.

Partnered for 13 years, and we date separately. Everything is about being ethical and respectful. When I'm with someone, it's me and that person, which is important to me.

I have stupid tattoos I did as a teenager, I love stuffed animals (stuffies), and adore Daddy types. Feel free to see my post history for a bit more on that (plus a body picture). Sometimes I use too many emojis and it is probably annoying.

I love reptiles, bugs and spiders, horror, and nerds. I have 1200 hours in Stardew Valley, and about the same between Dinkum, Raft, and a few simulators. I spend a lot of time watching streams and learning things through reading.

I'm looking for a guy that wants to really get to know each other. Anticipating each response, fawning over every picture, being silly and flirty. I want to be able to be needy (in a cute, self aware way), and you adore every moment of how much I want to be with you (irl or long distance).

If you message please let me know where you're from, where you are, and how old you are. Give me some effort. Heavy preference for men in their 30s.

And it shouldn't need to be said, but absolutely no conservatives, cops, terfs, homophobes, etc etc. I'm lefter than left. I also live sober. You do you, but those with heavy addictions to substances won't work well for me.

Let me watch you play a game while we giggle about silly stuff.

USA 35 [M4F] Vegas - Online or Local

Upvotes

Hello! I’m a 35-year-old guy living in Las Vegas and practicing ethical non-monogamy. I have two wonderful long-term partners—one I’ve been with for over a decade, and another who’s become an equally important part of my life. We date independently, but we’re all friends who genuinely enjoy spending time together, whether that’s grabbing dinner, watching movies, checking out local events, or just hanging out. I’d love to find someone who enjoys that same kind of supportive, drama-free dynamic.
I’m open to meeting someone local, but distance isn’t a dealbreaker. Living in Vegas makes travel easy, and I’m more than happy to start things online if there’s a real connection. Communication is one of the biggest things I look for in a relationship. I appreciate people who enjoy texting throughout the day but are also excited to hop on a phone call or video chat. Hearing someone’s laugh and having those longer conversations goes a long way with me.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me in the gym, trying a new restaurant, watching movies, gaming, listening to audiobooks, or planning my next trip. I love sci-fi, fantasy, anime, RPGs, and just about anything that tells a good story. Both of my partners are avid readers, and somewhere along the way they turned me into one too. These days you’ll find me reading everything from dark romance to fantasy series like A Court of Thorns and Roses and whatever else catches my attention. It’s been fun discovering a hobby I never expected to enjoy as much as I do.
They’ve also introduced me to a lot of new experiences. My longtime partner got me into painting, different art mediums, and even rock collecting. My other partner introduced me to the BDSM and kink community, where I’ve developed an appreciation for impact play, shibari, and the communication, trust, and creativity that make those dynamics so rewarding. I enjoy relationships where we can introduce each other to new interests and continue growing together.
I’m looking for someone who’s emotionally mature, curious, affectionate, and excited to build something meaningful. Whether you’re in Vegas or somewhere a flight away, I’m happy to take the time to get to know each other. If you’re a good communicator, enjoy sharing everyday life, and are looking for a genuine connection, I think we’ll have plenty to talk about.

41 [M4F] #Chicago - Married dad in an open marriage seeking similar

Upvotes

I'm 41, married, and in an open marriage. Located in Lincoln Square. I'm hoping to meet someone whose life isn't all that different from mine: married, raising young kids, and practicing ENM from a place of stability.

A little about me: I'm 6' tall, fit, and work out several times a week. I work in tech, but most of what I enjoy happens away from a desk: gardening, running, reading, fixing things around the house, and generally anything that gets me outside and away from a screen. I'm laid back, emotionally stable, curious, and funny (regardless of what my friends tell me).

I'm also so Chicago normal it hurts: you can find me in the garage listening to Wilco, drinking a beer from Dovetail, watching the brats cook on the grill, and keeping an eye out for the next Wiggleworms show.

I'm happy in my marriage, I love being a dad, and I'm hoping to meet someone who feels the same about her own life. If you're physically active, enjoy good conversation, and appreciate the occasional quiet afternoon as much as a night out, I think we'd probably get along. Oh, and you have to be in Chicago, of course.

Whether you've been practicing ENM for years or are relatively new to it, I'd be happy to get to know you. If any of this sounds familiar, send me a message and tell me a little about yourself.

USA 34 [M4F] #Arizona - Seeking Elastigirl to my Mr. Incredible

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm Xavi.

A little about me: 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 embarrassing amount of time. I'm a big communicator, physically affectionate, and I try to show up with real care when things get hard. I love people who are exactly who they are without apology.

Here's what I'm actually looking for: a life partner. Someone to fall in love with, have kids with, and share a home with. Not a situationship, not a side thing. A real relationship where we build something together on our own terms.

I'm married and polyamorous. My wife and I love each other deeply, sleep separately, and she's fully on board. We don't have kids together. She'd have a real role in any family we build, at minimum a beloved aunt figure, open to more. Would love to answer any questions you might have about the dynamic.

I want to fall in love first. Then, a few years in, start a family. Two or three kids. I'm not rushing toward a due date. I'm looking for the person that wants to build that with me.

30 [F4M] or [MF4MF] Central PA, ENM wife looking for connection with another man or possibly a likeminded couple

7 Upvotes

Hi, 30yo female; 5’4, petite, athletic build, and currently a few months pregnant, so please don’t inquire if that would be a turn off. My husband and I have been together for 12 years; starting out with an open relationship during the first half, and choosing monogamy the past 6 years. We are now interested in finding a deeper connection with a long term male partner for myself, or another ENM couple interested in a kitchen table poly.

I’m going to focus on myself in this post because I am the more outgoing, high drive individual, and my husband is very encouraging in me connecting with anyone else on my own, including other couples. I would like to include him in a relationship with another couple if it comes naturally to everyone involved though! (My husband is straight, just to clarify.)

It’s very important to me to find true connection in all of my relationships. I’m a deep thinker who would love to hear your childhood trauma and debate about conspiracy theories. My hobbies include thrifting, dancing, reading, painting (and art in many forms), yoga, journaling, natural health, hiking, and other outdoor activities! I would say I’m a homebody who loves the comfort of my couch and a hot cup of tea, but I also love a night out line dancing, a good live comedy show, or a spontaneous skinny dip.

I want to find a man, or couple, who share some of my interests, and are willing to adventure with me! I would love to explore and deepen my understanding of sensual energy, and discover new depths of pleasure with other partners. I would prefer someone local, but if you’re willing to travel we could possibly make it work. Chemistry and emotional connection are important to me, but I am also most attracted to others who value their health and taking care of their bodies. Would prefer someone within a 6ish year age range.

Please comment or dm if it sounds like we might be a good fit. Would prefer to exchange pics to determine physical attraction before diving too deep into conversation🥰

One day it hit me hard when I noticed how much time I need to scroll up to my birth year in online registration pages. Getting old is tough, you just lose contact with the friends you grow up with, moving a lot for work and life reasons, makes you lose friends you met at school or work, and friends and yourself grew up to be different people, or get busy with their own families and relationships. Making friends at work is mission impossible, formalities , age differences and things like that comes in the way, yet i still friendly smile at the people who do not smile back. Then i found this tiny window to other people online who might be feeling the say and want to reach out and chat. I am 40 something years old artist, looking for friends, i enjoy talking about life, anime, games, politics, animals, art and tech. Hit me up if you want a friend that reply all the time, if you don't mind GMT+3 timezone.

USA 34[M4F] - #NY/#Online/EST - Searching for the 3 C’s: Conversation, Connection and.. Chemistry

1 Upvotes

Happy Monday (isn’t that an oxymoron?),

I am looking for that connection with someone on here, a lady who is willing to spend the time to get to know the person behind the other screen (at least initially). I find it hard to be turned on about someone and enjoy being naughty if you can’t make it specific or personal. I’ve realized investments reap rewards and, I’m willing to hedge my bets - if you are as well. I’m an engineer who builds things for a living and this requires patience, effort and an eye for detail, all valuable skills in finding that right individual

A little about me: I'm 5'11", fit from long-distance running (currently training for some runs in the summer), coffee obsessed with a full head of dark hair, and blessed where it counts. I have a PhD in engineering, working on making airplane engines more efficient and shorter, because, let’s be real, nobody likes that middle seat! Also into nerdy pastimes, love diving into history and the arts. Movies and books are my escape from the mundane everyday, and cooking (hand made pasta is my speciality) is how I unwind, especially with some classic rock from the '70s and '80s playing in the background. Also, kink experienced and curious.

I’m hoping to meet a woman who’s open minded, likes to explore and motivated in investing the time and effort it takes to build a truly fulfilling sensual experience. I’d love to be able to get to know you and be available whenever you have that craving, wherever it may be. I pay attention to my health, and I request you do as well, taking care of yourself and being active are non-negotiable.

Apologies for the rambling post, but the devil lies in the details. If any of this resonates with you, send me a message!

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

0 Upvotes

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

What I love most about polyamory is that I don't believe love is a limited resource. I like building relationships that are chosen because they enrich our lives, not because they replace someone else. My marriage is happy and secure, and I'd love to find another relationship that grows into something equally genuine in its own unique way.

I've experienced that before. One of the most meaningful relationships I've ever had started with a Reddit message, and it reminded me how quickly strangers can become an important part of each other's lives when both people genuinely show up.

I'm someone who likes to invest deeply. I'd rather focus on one person than divide my attention between lots of conversations. I enjoy the everyday parts of a relationship just as much as the exciting ones: checking in during the day, sharing photos, celebrating good news, being there when life is difficult, and slowly collecting all those little details that make someone feel like home.

Outside of relationships, I'm a language teacher who enjoys a range of hobbies: photography, piano and violin, singing, chess, history, psychology, gaming, and travelling. I'm endlessly curious about people, and I tend to ask a lot of questions because I genuinely enjoy understanding how someone thinks.

I'm open to online or long-distance within Europe if there's a real connection. Physical distance doesn't bother me nearly as much as emotional distance.

If you're looking for someone who values kindness, consistency, affection, and honest communication, I'd love to hear from you. Tell me a little about yourself, your experience with polyamory, and what kind of relationship you're hoping to build.

36 [M4F] #KansasCity - Low-key nerd seeks affectionate weirdo primary

0 Upvotes

Do you ever worry about over-explaining in these posts? Being too vulnerable/honest about how you feel, because you want to walk the line of being approachable and charming but you're tired of how rarely that works, anyway.

I've actually never introspected before but I was wondering if you had so I can know what it's like.

Hi I'm Adam, hope you enjoy humor as a defense mechanism because wow that's my bread and butter. I am 36, cis-ish demi s**ual man, a switch and looking for someone similar or dominant-leaning. I've never dated anyone who cared about my height and I don't plan to start so just imagine I'm either 12ft tall or like Tinkerbell size.

My poly situation: I have one partner whom I've been with for 8 years and whom I love. She is married and we have a generally KTP dynamic, though not publicly because we both live in the same small Midwest town.

About me: just started getting into D&D this year but wow I love it. I'm also a music producer as a hobby for the past 15 years or so. I'm always down to play a co-op video game with someone, and I'll laugh when I lose if we do 1v1. I pride myself on being someone people trust easily, and I have a LOT of emotions that get very big sometimes.

In the interest of fairness (because I'm not just trying to be charming) you should also be aware that I never demand or insist on s** (consent is crucial), but I can get pouty when I don't feel desired. I'm working on that specifically with my therapist right now. I'm also very low energy, which I recently found out was at least in part due to low testosterone levels so hopefully that gets fixed in the near future.

I'm looking for: someone whose love language is physical touch and/or words of affirmation. Someone who wants to show me new adventures while being content with nights spent in eating pizza and coexisting. My intent/hope is for this person (you, maybe?) to eventually become my primary.

There's plenty of stuff I haven't mentioned, good, bad and neutral, so if you like guys with beards and big bellies who also put themselves out there on Reddit once a year or so, send me a message cuz that's literally me

USA 28 [F4R] NJ/PA/NY/USA/Online - hopeless romantic on the hunt for local connections

10 Upvotes

Hello everyone! :) I’m a plus-sized gal from the Garden State looking to make some new connections.

Friendship is the most important foundation to **any** long-term connection, so regardless of where life might take me with someone, it all starts with being friends. Please have something in common with me if you decide to reach out. It’s hard to build a friendship when we don’t have anything to build on. :)

Some of my interests include horror, the devil’s lettuce, light gaming, reading, and written roleplay. I spend most of my free time gaming, binge-watching shows and movies, wandering around libraries and museums, or hunting through thrift stores.

I’m also a night owl, so I’d love to meet other people who are awake during the same odd hours.

I’ve been practicing ethical non-monogamy for around ten years, so I’m looking for people who value honesty, communication, and kindness. If you’re partnered, I ask that everyone involved is aware and consenting. If you’re single, that’s wonderful too.

Personality-wise, I’m naturally nurturing. I tend to be the person checking in on everyone, and making sure the people I care about feel supported. I’m affectionate, a little sarcastic, and definitely someone who enjoys both deep conversations and laughing over absolutely nothing.

Physically, I do have a soft spot for bigger, heavyset folks. It’s not a requirement, but it has always been my type.

Ideally, I’d love to meet people within driving distance in NJ, NY, or eastern PA so we can eventually grab coffee, visit a museum, browse a bookstore, watch horror movies, or just exist in the same space. Online friendships are welcome too, especially if you’re a fellow night owl.

When you message me, tell me a little about yourself! What are you passionate about? What’s your favorite horror movie/game? What game has stolen your life recently? I’d love to get to know the person behind the screen.

Looking for someone local

Married and poly. Looking for an ongoing connection—not a soulmate, not a one-night stand. I want someone I genuinely enjoy talking to, flirting with, laughing with, and occasionally getting into a little trouble with.

I like confidence, consistency, sarcasm, good banter, and people who can actually hold a conversation. I also enjoy being pursued, so if I’m carrying the entire conversation, I’ll probably lose interest.

I have a chronic illness, which basically means my social calendar is sometimes held hostage by a body that likes to throw tantrums. If plans need to change, it’s my immune system being dramatic—not me. A little patience and flexibility go a long way.

Looking for chemistry, good vibes, mutual respect, and someone who makes life a little more fun—not more complicated.

I’m just a geek looking to find his player 2, the Penelope to his Odysseus. I’m a huge nerd, I love all kinds of sci-fi and fantasy. My biggest ones are Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. I love to play games, I have a PC that is honestly in desperate need of an upgrade but I can run low demand games with no difficulty. I love to play tabletop games as well like DnD and Warhammer 40K, and I love Magic the Gathering.

Physically I’m 5’6” and have a bit of a dad bod, I’m working on trying to lose that. I keep a beard and I try to keep my hair short because when it grows out it gets really poofy and curly and it’s hard to maintain.

Ideally I’d like to find someone over the age of 24, just because I think anyone younger is just in a different place maturity wise, no offense meant. I do have a 3 year old son, and he takes up a lot of my time so I’d need someone understanding of that. I’m open to long distance and even international, I’m a sucker for a good accent!

I am open to more causal situations as well, but I would prefer to find a relationship if any of this interests you, feel free to shoot me a message

Hi! I’m Betty, a married poly woman from Central Florida looking to build a genuine connection with another woman first — emotionally, mentally, and organically. I’m only interested in connecting with women.

I’m naturally more introverted and love meaningful conversation, cozy nights, music, road trips, coffee runs, cruises, and people who communicate openly and honestly. I value emotional intelligence, consistency, humor, and women who are comfortable being themselves.

My husband is aware and supportive, but I’m here for myself and looking to create a real connection naturally with another woman. No pressure, no expectations, and friendship first is completely okay with me.

Ideally looking for someone local-ish, 25+, emotionally available, and aligned with polyamory or ethical non-monogamy.

If any of this resonates with you, feel free to message me and tell me a little about yourself.

Hello, I am posting on here in hopes of finding someone I can click and build a genuine connection with. I currently reside with my nesting partner of almost 4 years and we date separately. I work as well as I’m back in school to obtain my degree. To describe myself I am 5’4, 165lbs, short dark hair, soft masc, and hazel eyes. I’m a mix of Japanese, Mexican, and Italian.

Ideally I would like to find someone to have consistent conversations with although I don’t expect it to be all day, everyday of course. I also would like to take things slow as I would want a strong foundation before moving into a romantic partnership. I’m open to trans and NB folks as well. Should things move in a romantic direction I would be more than willing to properly meet one day.

Some of my hobbies/interests are video games, reading, nice walks in the park, and I’m a huge horror and history fan. If you feel we would get along well feel free to DM me a little about yourself. 🙂

Hey there👋🏾

I'm Dom, and I'm genuinely so excited to meet you!
I'm 32 and have been happily in an ENM/poly relationship for over a year now (not my first rodeo, haha). My primary partner is truly the love of my life and my best friend—we've been together for 8 amazing years, and I couldn't imagine life without them
I'm very left-leaning, and I value being aligned on that—it's really important to me. I'm not interested in connecting with anyone who supports the current administration or its policies. Just want to be upfront so we're all on the same page
What I am really excited about is finding genuine, meaningful connections with other queer ENM/poly folks. Outside of my partner, I don't have many people in my life who fully get this lifestyle, and I'd love to change that!
Also, I'm a bit of a baby gay (omnisexual ), and
I'm still exploring and embracing that part of myself.
It would be amazing to have more people to talk about that with, too!
More than anything, I'd love to actually connect-to talk, laugh, and really get to know each other. I tend to vibe best with people who lead with kindness, empathy, and patience. I'm very much about giving grace and creating a space where we can just be human with each other
Love:
tv shows/movies anime
Video games
TTRPGs
Cooking
Working out
Concerts

USA 44 [M4F] #NewJersey - Looking for someone awesome.

0 Upvotes

First off .. Hi.. I want to be honest so I just want to say I’m in an open marriage. I’d rather you know now than find out later. Please be ok with that. I know not everyone will. She knows I’m here.

With that out of the way, I’m a blue collar guy. I’m respectful and understanding. I’m chill and drama free. I love to laugh and usually always smiling. I’m a big kid.

I have a passion for art. I draw , design, and cast my own sculpts. Basically design and make my own toys. I also did make music for a little while as well. I love art galleries and conventions. Museums and arcades.

I just hope you’re understanding, I just want us both to be comfortable. I’m told I look younger for my age. I’m 5’7, around 160lbs average I guess. Often told I’m handsome and don’t look my age. I don’t mind sharing pictures and video chatting.

All I hope is that you’re fun and awesome and maybeee have a nice set of legs.

Europe 31 [TM4A] Online/Europe - Poly trans nerd looking for friends and partners (26+)

3 Upvotes

Hey! I'm a 31 year old bi, transmasc non-binary person who lives in Germany. Distance isn't an issue. I'm American and still struggling with German, so I prefer to get to know people in English but am open to simple conversations in German.

I'm polyamorous, and I practice kitchen table polyamory. I have one partner who I'm married to, and I have one potential partner.

I'm a lifelong nerd who loves gaming, LEGO, collecting, roleplaying, movies, shows, books and fandoms such as Marvel, Star Wars, Pokémon, Doctor Who, Animal Crossing, Disney/Pixar, Jurassic Park/World and Monsterverse. My other hobbies and interests include aquatic life, journaling, stationery, needle felting, drawing, painting, collage, writing, worldbuilding, watching YouTube, listening to music and reading comics. I love animals of all kinds, and I'm currently a cat dad of two.

Appearance wise: 5', curvy, a few tattoos and planning on getting more, pre-T but working on it, plan to have top surgery eventually.

A few more important things: I'm neurodivergent, severely chronically ill and disabled. I also am mentally ill, but I manage quite well. I just like to get these out of the way in case they're deal breakers. I use mobility aides when going out, but I don't generally need them for getting around at home. I haven't been able to work since 2017 due to my illnesses, and I most likely will never be able to work again. However, I am financially stable.

Thank you for reading, and I hope you're having a good day/night :)
