Gor is an unending well of lulz. I keep waiting for it to die, and it just pops back up like a fat, sad, dragon-addled Dracula.

Oh god, this reminds me of another awful internet subculture...Goreans. Basically, this guy John Norman wrote a series of books about the fictional world of Gor, where men enslave women and use them for freaky sex all the time. Goreans are fans of this who try to act like they live on Gor and act even stupider and have even more stupid nerd jargon than poly people. They insist it's not BDSM but it totally is. They are also all at least 250 pounds. Google it, it's fun!*

I hate how poly people believe that feelings and emotions are irrational and stupid. They're constantly trying to get over their feelings of jealousy, telling other people to get over their feelings of jealousy, trying to not feeling abandoned, telling people if you feel like you're being abandoned you're crazy, telling people to ignore their irrational partners, and on and on...

There is even a thread dedicated to this special flavour of relationship and general dysfunction.

These men are so desperate to prove how unique they are by sticking it to "traditional" relationships by allowing their wives to sleep around , that they are quite literally ruining their, and in some cases their children's lives. SAD

Ive been seeing two distinct groups of people that do the whole poly relationship:

20-25 year olds who let's be honest, are just fucking around.

35-40 year olds who are both land whales and bored in the marriage after having porpoises.
Click to expand...

Most of my personal lolcows are ""polyamorous"" but this shit nails one of them perfectly.

Bisexual friend from high school, pushing 40, frankly kind of a landwhale, married immediately after graduating college. Husband was an unemployed loser old enough to be her father. He already had a teenager who ran off and didn't speak to him anymore (red flag tbh) and didn't want more, but she insisted, they finally had one. The kid was barely 5 years old before my friend started in on wanting an "open marriage." She asked my opinion and I bluntly told her, you have the child you've wanted since you were 23, you need to focus on being a good parent and role model to her, not sleep around with others because you're a bored housewife now. And, you know, because you just said your husband is very opposed to the idea. She didn't bring it up any more to me, what do I know anyway, I'm childfree and single.

Then this year she announced she and the husband are separating and she already has a new boyfriend (or "spouse" and "partner," as she calls them). I cannot even begin to imagine what her daughter ("child") is going through. She's already homeschooled, raised vegetarian/vegan (while the father still eats meat), possibly Wiccan, and has been fed Sophie Labelle's genderstupid coloring book (she didn't care about/understand the gender shit, while her mother clearly wanted her to become nonbinary suddenly). This kid is like 10 now, she is beyond old enough to understand that mommy and daddy don't love each other and mommy is abandoning her responsibilities to see other men. Or maybe she doesn't understand after all this sheltering and having an unemployed cuck for a male role model.

I'm disappointed she doesn't post about it on social media, though maybe she's in one of these subreddits. I gleaned the news about her separation and boyfriend from a couple of twitter posts. I only found out about Labelle's coloring book because she wrote a generous review of it on her blog... which is supposed to promote her writing, but she never updates it because she's too busy sleeping around, or something.

This other bunch of lolcows, they're all in their mid-20s and "trans." Three of them are "dating" though one lives in another country, so how she can be involved, idk. The two that live together are in an "asexual" relationship, only one of them is very much not asexual, so she goes out to bars and on tinder to get some action. She's on T and presents as a dude, but is still somehow getting laid by strange men all the time... why she needs two girlfriends to be in a "committed relationship" with her is a mystery for the ages. They're all really unappealing, unemployed, and obsessed with video game culture, I guess they can't do much better?

Someone said earlier it's always these unattractive geek people who are into this stuff because it's non-mainstream and "revolutionary," and that's so accurate. Being a slut isn't the way to go if you want to reverse the incel-geek-stereotype. Stop using your established partner as a safety net when what you really want is to sleep around, unattached. Stop getting goddamned married at 20, you are going to get bored of one another sooner than you think.

It's also different ends of the belief spectrum. Polygamy (1 man/multiple wives) is very patriarchal, and associated with highly conservative religious faiths (Fundie Mormons, Christians, and Muslims.) The focus is solely on the man, and him spreading his seed far and wide.

Polyamory (whatever the fuck combo) is more associated with those who consider themselves liberal, and claims a strong, feminist influence. The roots of it are in the sexual revolution, Neo-Paganism (Church of All Worlds/Wicca), and early feminism.

Then there is also polygyny (1 woman, many husbands), 0which is mostly practiced in areas of the world where fer land is scarce, so brothers will marry the same woman to preserve that. I think it's mostly in Nepal and areas near there.

I watch a lot of National Geographic and that show Taboo

Biologist sperging ahead. Polygyny is actually the biological term for a male with multiple females, while polyandry is a female with multiple males. Polyandry is incredibly rare and only seen in a few species overall.

The majority of mammals (~95%) are non-monogamous. They are usually classified as 'promiscuous' meaning they mate during breeding seasons and then the male just peaces out to go fuck as many females as possible. The female raises the young on her own. Many mammals also have polygynous systems (gorillas, lions, a lot of human societies etc) with some species of primates having polyandrous systems. A very small percent of mammals are monogamous--like the adorable dikdik.

The majority of birds however (~90%) are monogamous. Many species mate for life, but some are only monogamous to one individual during the time it takes to raise young during a breeding season. But there are species of birds where both the male and female actively cheat on their monogamous partners--if either of them are caught they will break up.

Biologically speaking, polygamy is more advantageous for males while monogamy is more advantageous for females. Monogamy also tends to be more productive and successful when it comes to raising offspring.

So sure, a bunch of the exceptional people shown in this thread could say that 'polygamy is more natural' but the appeal to nature argument is pure bullshit--because pedophilia, rape, incest, cannibalism, and murder are also all extremely natural for mammals. When you take into account our society, morals, benefits for children, human emotions and behavior, all the examples in this thread, etc monogamy is still the more advantageous system for a long-term relationship.
 
Literally every "Poly" person I've ever known is an absolute trainwreck that just moves from person to person, causing drama. Most are in the realm of full-on lolcows.

Those of you calling it "Sluts that don't want to be called sluts" are pretty much right.

Poly girls just wanna sleep with multiple dudes at once and not be called out on it. And Poly guys are either just in it for threesomes or know they're too beta to keep a girl, so they settle for being rebound dick.

Poly folks are, without exception, batshit insane. And most have a history of either sexual abuse at a young age or family issues (Divorced parents, ect).

r/polyamory is what you get when you combine cuckoldry, SJWs, anti-SJWs, fake bisexuality, a complete lack of understanding of social norms, and overbearing smugness into one very unfortunate subreddit.

What Polyamory Is
Having romantic relationships with more than one person. It is not having a harem, an open relationship, cheating, or swinging. At least in theory; if you read r/polyamory, you will discover it is in fact all of those things. (With the arguable exception of swinging; sometimes people from r/swingers will come to r/polyamory and make seemingly deliberately inflammatory posts about how much they don't get polyamory.)

The Userbase
The vast majority of the users are white and will immediately argue with any black person who points out how racist poly people are. The majority of women are bisexual and the majority of men are straight even though this makes no statistical sense. They're also nerds who LOVE board games and conventions.

Why They're Cows
It's hard to think of any one particular reason other than their constant drama, so I thought I would provide a sampler platter of awful. The short reason is an inability to exist as normal adults in normal human society and ranting about this loudly all the time.

1. Not understanding that guys shouldn't hit on girls at a gay bar. Poly people disrespect lesbians a lot, but it's usually bisexual women; I just thought this was especially bad.
View attachment 304772

2. Not understanding why a woman would be upset that her husband, with whom she has children, wants to go live with his girlfriend.
View attachment 304770 They also said it's unreasonable to expect to be with someone forever.

3. Person A said that poly people are queer because they deviate from the norm, Person B said queer specifically refers to same sex attracted people, and then Person C posted...this.
View attachment 304773

4. A general inability to understand monogamy.
View attachment 304788

5. Just CONSTANT, UNENDING DRAMA.
View attachment 304825
I just picked this one basically at random, but there are hundreds upon hundreds of other posts like this and yes, they are all that long.

Like any nerd subculture, they have a variety of incomprehensible jargon.
  • metamour: your partner's partner
  • nesting/anchor partner: the partner you live with
  • fluid bonded: someone you have sex without condoms with
  • compersion: feeling joy at other people's joy, generally used to mean feeling joy at how happy your partner is with their other partners
  • primary: your main relationship
  • secondary: your side pieces
  • unicorn: a hot single bi babe who wants to join an established male/female relationship, either just to have sex or be a third partner
  • one penis policy: when a man and a woman are dating, the woman can have sex with other women, but not with other men, because she's only allowed one penis. occasionally you will see one vagina policy, but it's rarer.
  • processing: talking about your feelings
  • polyfidelity: having a committed relationship with more than one person, e.g. a triad where everyone is only involved with the other members of the triad.
tl;dr: just read the ethical slut!!

I never understood polyamory honestly, I just see it as a huge cuckold thing or a Mormon thing.
 
Just seems like all the people who can't get laid normally just group up and fuck each other so no one is a virgin loser
Ie; my own clone, now neither of us will be virgins
 
I can almost get wanting to get maximum tail if you're single and decide to be poly, but if you're already in a loving relationship why roll those dice? Contrary to these nuts belief, love and compatibility don't come around every day.
 
I just don't see the appeal to poly. I would imagine a relationship between two people is something very special, and if anyone tries to fuck with it, things don't end well for anyone involved.

I guess you could argue that a lot of animals participate in this kind of thing, but a lot of other animals mate for life. So what does that say about these people?
 
I've seen a video on Facebook about this middle aged man having a TEDtalk styled speech where it was basically "My wife and I had a terrible time with monagamy. Monogamy is toxic. More people should be poly. It'll save your marriage." Like, man, too bad you're a horn dog and can't commit to your wife, but that's your personal problem, not society's.

I also hate those freaks who prey on bisexual people because they think they're all polyamorous.

I knew somebody who was into this whole polyamory shit and they wouldn't stop talking about how they're glad to be poly on Tumblr, it was fucking annoying. I honestly don't care if people talk about their sex lives, but the fact they tried to make theirs #woke. Especially when they got into a relationship with a trans woman, they told us when they first had sex because HOLY SHIT IT'S A PENIS :o and they identified as lesbian at the time.

I've also seen some article about a year ago trying to tell black people that they should try to be polyamorus because it'll somehow heal racial PTSD or something.

How long do these relationships even last? I'd say a few weeks the morning after the one night stand at most.

A facebook friend of mine is poly and that's all she ever posts about. We get it. You are poly. Now shut up about it.

The only reason these polyfucks post about how great it is to be polyamorous is because they're trying to delude themselves from the reality that they're shallow pieces of shit who only think of people as pieces of meat/they're lonely and want to forget the fact that their SO is off fucking other, better looking people.

Isn't polyamory polygamy? Why make a new word? Because it sounds nicer? Whatever.

Polyamory makes it sound more "romantic" by using the word, "Amour". This also distances it from that gross icky ugly totally brainwashing term, "monogamy".
 
The male bullfinch is a bird that can memorise songs and whistle them exactly as its trainer dose; it is one of the only birds that can do this.

Scientists theorize this is due to bullfinch's only having monogamous relationships. Animals that have polgomous relationship majority lack the communication skills and brain function of monogamous animals.

When a trainer teaches a bullfinch it's Song they create a 'monogamous' relationship and work together to reach a goal. Like a couple of these birds would do in the wild e.g making a nest.

We seem to have monogamous relationship now due to evolution playing a key role. Monogamy is ligit a key part of survival for whole species.

Their for these redditors and polyretards and Devolving.
