In the top posts on /r/polyamory right now, these are the first three that have to do with lesbian couples or polycules. What do they--and all lesbians on /r/polyamory--have in common?

It's more or less an axiom at this point that if you see literally anyone online IDing as a lesbian, it's overwhelmingly likely to be a gross troon. In fact, it's a plot twist if they aren't one. Therefore this is a more or less average state of affairs. Lol

Unless its on Tumblr, and even then reddit unwanteds are crawling all over it.
 
"giving it away" the way twats "give away" a thoroughly broken bulky electronic item to a charity shop so its their problem now, rather than spending the time/ money to take it to the dump.
Right. And to paraphrase Kissin' Company CEO Butters Stotch, whether you're giving her money or having to take her out to dinner and listen to her talk about her mothafuckin' problems, all boys pay for kissin', you know what I'm sayin'?

Obviously this runs both ways and isn't exclusive to dating women, but the underlying point is apt. I put a high price on having to listen to smug polyamorists sniff their own farts, so it costs wayyyyy too much, imo, to bang a poly person, no matter how attractive/easy.

Or, alternativately, you can stop being a retard, fuck them and completely ignoring them after the fact. Treating them basically as a one-use sex object.

I mean, if you're able to bang a polyamorous person without having to hear them sperg about polyamory then you've met a rare one. It's like going out to dinner with a vegan. You'd have to be planning to kidnap and drug them to avoid any annoying conversations.

Being polyamorous takes up a lot of a person's internal fortitude, unless they're a sociopath (it's prob about 50/50), so they talk about it a lot to pretty much anyone.
 
These are all words out of their own mouths
silently simmer
I really don't want to hear about what they did.
Ruminate.
I have the ick feeling
them not oversharing
reintroducing intimacy slowly
whatever touch doesn't trigger the ick
I prefer space
I need at least a day to decompress
I just try to fake being normal
Fortunately, my disgust only lasts an hour
Laugh at how difficult we make our own lives
Oh baby, do we laugh.
 
I'm sorry, but I just don't get how people can get in these entangled, years long relationships, and not be married. Like, you've been with this guy for two decades, live together, moved across the country with him, and you never tied the knot? And you're surprised when he treats you like a deadbeat roommate? In real families, when a spouse is out of job, the other spouse has no problem stepping up to help out so that their significant other can get back on their feet. But you are doing all of this for a guy who won't even commit to you? And are surprised when he's a selfish prick?
The dude seems to be a selfish asshole. It's pretty clear why he didn't want to get married : so he could ditch his partner whenever he felt like so, without owing her anything. And that's what he did, he replaced her by a younger model, while still expecting her to help him pay the bills and do household chores. The woman probably felt modern and empowered not marrying... and we can see where it led her to. Now that men and women have equal rights, it's really foolish not to want to get married as a woman. If a man wants to fuck you without marrying, just tell him to fuck off lol. It's better to become a wine aunt than ending up used and discarded like this right before menopause.

It makes me sad because I have friends that got sold this idea of polyamory or at least open relationships by their woke social circle where half of the women are literal prostitutes (sex work is prostituion, changing the words won't change the reality of it). They started by having an open relationship, it created resentment on the girl part, because there is always a partner that gets more out of it than the other. Also he fucked one of her thinner friends so she got mad lol. They closed it, and now the relationship is in shambles because everytime they argue for anything, the girl brings up the open relationship mishaps to my friend. It really suck, even if you opt out of this shit, you can't just left it behind and move on.

In the same vein, though, because of how modern marriage laws work, there's absolutely no benefit to a modern man marrying a woman at this point, and it would even be stupid to do so. Its the screwed up dichotomy of modern marriage.

What makes it even worse is because polyamory is becoming the new "in" thing, there is increasing pressure from people's own friend groups to open up their relationships, meaning more people will consider going poly just to fit in.

There is, in that it makes division of shared assets easier and protects the lower earning partner, or the partner that took time off to raise kids in the marriage and lost out on their career. If that were men it would apply to them. It's just that that's almost never men and they used to get a lot more out of it when the women were not legally equal and dependent on marriage to survive. The modernity that screwed up marriage is recognizing women as equally human to men - marriage was developed when women as property and now they aren't any more.

You can rate me political if you like, but the comment I'm responding to is too.

Yuck. Do people just not have any boundaries anymore? The idea of opening up your marriage because of friend group pressure implies that you'd be trading around within that friend group, or at the very least that would be a likely possibility.
I just can't even imagine that in our social circle. Even the attractive people we're friends with, it's just not appealing in the slightest.

It's really bad if you're into stuff like tabletop gaming because that entire community is nothing but gross polyamorists trying to recruit more members to their cult. It's harder to find a couple to play games with than a couple to play games with, at least in my slice of the world.

Absolute truth. I miss RoboRally.

It’s so bad I’ve heard people ask if “playing tabletop games” is code for some kind of extreme sexual depravity because every fat poly couple says that’s their main hobby.

That type of shit is why I don't tell anyone I play tabletop games. Poly people are freaks and try to make everything about sex, I don't want that kind of degeneracy in my house. I just want to play a fucking game.

For real. My dream of playing solemnly and conscientiously with respectable adults is always dashed by polyamorous pansexual 1st edition 40k mutants.

TRAGON DIRTLE IS RIGHT

Truth is, if a man has assets he wants to protect before marriage, there's nothing wrong with signing a prenup. The same for a woman. Marriage is a contract between two people, if you write one up and you never use it, you win. If you write one up and do use it, you mitigate losses. If your potential spouse argues or think it's a betrayal of trust, ask why, becauss you're in it all the way and are making sure if the unthinkable happens, you're protected and your future spouse can be too. The only thing is that you can't figure out things with potential children of course and that's something I have sympathy on.

I've only seen online groups filled with singles who aren't.

Question: is it polyamory that is attractive to tabletop gamers, or tabletop games are attractive to polyamorists? What connects the two?

I propose a third variable - both are attractive to autists.
