r/polyamory

Psychopathy, it's psychopathy. Psychosis is a delusion, an inability to tell fantasy from reality. Psychopathy is manipulative behavior.

I'm going to keep correcting this until people start getting it right.

I mean I'm pretty sure these people are living in their own world where their way of life is superior, and that reads as extreme delusion to me, but I get what you're saying
 
Nobody (I mean, nobody) likes to acknowledge it, but some of the most extreme second-wave feminists like Andrea Dworkin were calling out the dynamic you see in r/polyamory in its previous iteration. “Free love” was used by older men in the 60s and 70s as a way to pressure women into uncomfortable relationships, lest they seem insufficiently radical. The only thing that was really “free” was the men seeking to be “free” of consequence, disappearing when they knocked someone up or passed on the clap. In my opinion, you still see the worst of this manipulative stuff with the men trying to pressure women into being woke and miserable.

Honestly, the least-suspect version of this poly stuff is when it’s being done by LGBT people among themselves. They’ve usually done some homework.
LGBT poly is
1) gay dudes sleeping around, which they almost all seem to be cool with
2) gay soyboys who probably go to furry cons ‘dating’ other gay soyboys because everyone is too much of a loser for one quality boyfriend
3) lesbians sleeping around, which is an extremely small group because most lesbians don’t like casual sex like that
4) lesbians having SO much drama that a friend group completely implodes and several people leave their women’s college/non profit job

Poly is still bad without heterosexual relationship norms.

Troons of course are a separate matter, because everything they do is disastrous.

That second screenshot is what happens when you're too obsessed with labels, if anyone asks then just say you're bisexual and move on. You can try explaining to them in what ways you're bisexual if they ask further but other than that a label in this case should just function as generalization of what you're attracted too.
I guarantee you that the term 'bisexual' is a much better descriptor than 'gay solo poly' because the last two words are just straight up an oxymoron.

I'm fairly certain that she isn't bi, just boring old straight. Only thing unusual about her is that she is so scared of men that a romantic relationships are off the table but sex is still a ok. Most women that are terrified of men tend to be also turned off by their fear because sex is so emotionally intimate and potentially dangerous situation. She only wants women when she doesn't want sex and when she wants sex only guys will do points towards her seeing women as safe alternative to the thing she really wants. Her logic most likely being that great relationships are built on friendship and I make friends with women way more easily so... Yeah my bet is on a straight woman with issues around men that can be cured by finding a good man.
 
This is an old one from r/relationships that I didn't see posted yet. The OP says "open relationship" instead of "polyamory," but the results are essentially the same.

A lot of the thread has been wiped out, but it was archived numerous times and most of the comments are still viewable on Removeddit. Since this isn't r/polyamory, the comments are overwhelmingly against her.


All of the OP's replies also remain. They provide a pretty good idea of how the thread went for her.

HOES BEWILDERED
 
One of the saddest and most pathetic articles I've ever read. Bisexual chick coaxes her uncomfortable boyfriend into polyamory, and he leaves original gf for the new one during pandemic, and the original bi poly chick loses all of her other partners.

But tell me again how monogamy is unnatural. This really is just cucking with extra steps.

This is what any sane person would do and yet in these communities it's pathologized and cruel and unusual. If he's good in bed, then why do you need different dick? Just be thankful for what you have and don't be a whore.

Great job, great community, attractive, kind, good sexer. Jesus. This woman hit the relationship jackpot and she blew it.

But she was so curious about other experiences./sneed

Made me gag reading that.

Well now she can have all the dudes she wants. Hope that's enough for her when she's done getting it one with multiple dudes just for sex and wants some real companionship at the end of the day. May that have been a lesson in be content with the great things you have in life and not to be selfish.

Just reinforces my belief that what so many of them want is a stable partner to do all the heavy lifting in the relationship and some other people on the side they get freaky with.

I straight up don't get this madona/whore complex. Why wouldn't you want to get freaky with the person you are sharing your life with but instead only show your freaky side to other random people?
 
Polyamory is definitely not for the faint of mind. You've got to do a lot of balancing acts to make sure the relationship is healthy and mutually beneficial or the whole thing goes sour, people get hurt, and it devolves into a circus. Needless to say, at least 90% of the people on Reddit aren't emotionally or mentally prepared for such a commitment and should stick to monogamy, or friends with benefits or anything else.
