    As someone who's recently entered the poly world, I was SHOCKED to see how much hate and how little community there was on the internet in reagrds to this lifestyle. Like you search up the nichest of niche genders or sexualities, youll find a community and a safe space for them. But for poly? I had to dig. So I'm glad creators like you are putting out the good word about this relationship style and setting the record straight on tiktoks's final drama 🥰

    It’s one of the oldest shticks in the world… A person who has been raised to believe that the way they are is the one truly good way to be, realizes that they aren’t as happy or satisfied with their life as they “ought” to be, and so they try to make themselves feel better by punching down at people who do not adhere to the “one truly good way to live” but have the audacity of being happy and satisfied with our lives regardless. They have to insist that we are lesser, undesirable, unhappy - because if someone different than them can be good and desirable and happy, then their idea that there’s just one truly good way to be is a lie.

    I'm 47. I've been practicing polyamory since 2016. I met this amazing woman on a dating site. Our first date she gave me homework to read: The Ethical Slut. Reading that book was electrifying. I mainlined it in like 2 days. The ideas presented in the book resonated my soul. Relationship ideas I'd always had but didn't think could happen. Reading the book electrified my brain! Living polyamory has brought great joy and happiness to me life. It's not for everyone, and that's fine. It takes work to communicate. But my in experience it leads to deeper, more meaningful relationships. That jerk in the first video is punching down. Not cool at all!

      I think it logistically is in many cases, cause in any situation where you have more than two people all in a relationship together….what group of three people could be compatible with each other that isn’t composed of at least one queer person?

    • @Toni-lo9ms
      @Toni-lo9ms 12 днів тому +7

      @doglover7641 Fair point but remember in a polycule not everyone has to be a romantic or sexual partner of everyone else. The structure can be whatever is acceptable for everyone involved, just more than two people. This does remind me of the jokes my circle makes about so called "love triangles" If at least one queer person isn't involved that's not a triangle.

    "Hot" people usually aren't in one because it isn't a poly relationship that their men try to get them into... Maybe THAT'S why (cheating situation or the man wanting to have his cake & eat it too)
    Normal looking people are most likely friends beforehand, have better communication, and thus, it works out and you see those people more often than not in an ACTUAL TRUE poly relationship

      Then don't; monogamy is held up as the way to do things. It's totally doable, though a lot of people can't seem to avoid cheating. Poly folk get cheated on too; they are just more likely to cut bait with the cheater. I've always figured that if my partner wants to be somewhere else for a while , that's fine. If they want to totally part ways, well, we weren't compatible in the first place and isolating them won't work in the long run either. But I realize that I have an unorthodox way of looking at things after 57 years with the same person and twenty with our other partner.
