Ask a poly guy anything.

Does your mother know about this?

That I'm poly or that I'm on 4chan?

Yes and no, in that order.

Why do you need shitty infographics to justify your existence?

>>723148058
To justify it? It's just a diagram of the different types of non-monogamy.

>>723147878
Sounds about right

>>723148427

ayy lmao

what new tumblr shit is a "poly guy"? another way to not realize that you are a fucking degenerate?

is your life a harem anime?

>>723147650
Why is your picture a gif when it has literally no need to be?

>>723150360
means multiple wives n shiet not the 52 gender pickup they're playing

>>723147650
Betcha you're not even a guy...

Stupid bitch just doesn't wanna show tits.

>>723147650
who would think this diagram actually helps understanding anything since it's almost unreadable ?

>>723150360
pretty much a way for this shitty generation of cucks to justify their incapability to pick a mate that satisfies all their needs/justify being a cheating piece of shit

>>723147650
That is the biggest waste of time i have seen in ages.

>>723150977
You gotta realize these degenerates can't even get jobs.. How would they even begin to understand how to make an excel spread sheet to generate a proper graph?

gif is not only for animated pictures. it's a format that doesn't take too much space - it uses only 256 colours, this picture doesn't need more

admittedly jpg takes less space and provides better quality, but using gifs for simple images is still a viable option

Whoever made this graph/chart/diagram/whatever needs to have his or her hands taped to his forehead to stop him from making these things

Are you poly because you can't keep your dick to yourself or because your partner was an insatiable slut?

>>723147650
Where on that clusterfuck exactly do you land?

>>723153158
not op, but i had a 6 month thing with a poly girl 3 years ago.

I had casual sex with other girl during these 6 month but there wasn't any deep feeling for them while she was having feelings for 2 other guys ( she knew them before meeting me, and she dumped one after 3 month).

It was kinda relaxing, to have a gf for like a third of a week. When we saw each other we had lots of things to talk about, because we had been appart for a couple of day, and i had plenty of day to myself like when i'm single.

I wouldn't mind doing it again

Of the many relationships I've seen, been in or heard of I've only encountered three truly poly relationships (meaning both people are 100% comfortable with the idea and equally wish to seek other partners or are fine with their partner doing so)
In my experience most of the time it tends to be one sided and the other partner is either forced into it, guilted into it or used as a last resort to keep the partner around.
Alot of the examples in the shitty info graphic are actually examples of very unhealthy relationships. I'm all for diversity of lifestyles but alot of those are dishonest, manipulative or just ignorant.

So you want questions;
Why are you poly?
Was it your idea? or were you introduced to it?
How do you deal with partners who don't want an open or poly relationship?
How do you deal with things/issues like jealousy, comparison insecurity, time monopolisation etc? I have heard people before say its not an issue for them then lose partners or friendships over either not dealing with the issue at all by cutting the person out or pretending it isn't happening and just letting the relationship crash and burn

I read prodomme as prodrome, which is probably more accurate.

yeah because fucking someone without marrying them is so 2000.

>>723154108
Not OP but I guess the point is its not even about marriage anymore. The assumption with poly is that one person's experience, company, love, sexual skill etc is never going to be enough for you. You'd rather keep the relationship completely open and date multiple people than actually make a strong meaningful bond with someone, even if that doesn't last as long as 4 simultaneous shallow ones could.

Is it better to have one intense strong purposeful relationship with one person then develop as people and either move on to another partner or stay with the same or have four relatively shallow but still fun and basely satisfying relationships at the same time and cycle people in and out as they are interesting or useful?

you realice that there is way mor to it? I am not a poly-what-ever but I have no time for a relationship. That's why I have a few friends with benefits-typ deals atm. Those revolve around sex but also are chilled companions which I also value more than some one night bar pickup. There also can be outside factors which determen your willingness to commit or not commit to a person. There is nothing wrong with that as long as all parties are ok with this.

>>723155149
yes, you aren't poly, you're just describing a fuck buddy. Someone who is your friend that you also fool around with. Thats not what Poly is. However the arguement for casual sex or a shallow partner over a committed one still stands. Is that better long term?

I'm not disregarding anyone's opinion I don't think either is more valuable and given circumstances change I'm sure at one time you might want want and then at others not. The point I was making to OP and others is saying that you are determinedly poly and thats the only type of relationship you want lends itself to only having shallow "no time for a relationship" type deals. you don't connect with anyone deeper than "we're friendly and occasionally we fuck when I'm bored or horny" thats not a bad thing, but it's also not a terribly fulfilling or personally/socially developing situation.

How are your warts, Kevin?

Why do you hate your dad

this would be disgusting and sad but those quotes... comedy gold

I'm in a poly/mono(partial poly) relationship now. I'm engaged and largely monogamous, my fiancée also has a girlfriend. The two of them hook up about once a week and about once a month or so we all hook up for a threesome. Pretty tight, actually.
