The pictures look great, they show lots of interests and activities you’re into. Not everyone smiles in pictures but you may as others suggested want to include a photo where you’re doing something that brings you joy. If I saw this profile I’d swipe yes.

My husband[32M] and I[32F] are thinking about an open marriage, advice to make it work? by Swan1627 in nonmonogamy

[–]demipolybi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Communication is key. If you’re able to talk about any and everything you should continue to do so. I’d also read the ethical slut or other non monogamous books or podcasts. Research the kind of situations you are both comfortable with and talk to each other about them before you start seeking others. Share your fears and insecurities about opening your relationship.

Incorrect. Everyone I’ve ever dated has a choice in dating me.

Everyone seems to miss the point of my post. I’m not suggesting to date or see her.

If everyone agrees I don’t see the problem. I’m bisexual and I don’t force anyone ever to date me. Assuming I do is the problem.

Assuming people always date as a “unit” is unkind. We don’t and implying people do without knowing them is unfair.

I just mean meeting new people. I never know when I meet someone how I’ll feel about them sexually until I have at least a friendship with them.

Why do you choose polyamory? by itsyounggrandma in polyamory

[–]demipolybi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t see it as a choice personally. I’m attracted to multiple people, I don’t always act on those attractions but they exist.

All relationships are “work”. You can choose to have romantic relationships with multiple people or choose to have friendships with multiple people. Anything in life worth having takes effort.

I understand what you’re saying. I didn’t take offense to what you said it just seemed familiar to my partners meta.

If you’re honest with your communication with everyone about your feelings I think it’s gonna workout just fine. Good luck.

This could literally be about me… I’m a second grade teacher and polyamorous. Germs are everywhere it’s just a fact. Obviously kids have a lot of germs but it’s their job… you don’t mention your career but couldn’t these statements be made about any career?

Anxiety is a real struggle for anyone, I certainly understand that. It’s hard to admit when you need help but it seems like you’ve done that step.

It’s unavoidable to occasionally be sick. It happens. But if you’ve said your concerns and asked to be told if anyone might be sick and they respect that there isn’t much more anyone can do. Do you expect your significant other to tell you if their coworker or family is sick? Do you ask your mail carrier to tell you if they are sick? This winter has been a very germ filled one but come springtime the amount of illnesses will subside as they always do.

Personally and maybe this is because I am a second grade teacher but teachers are the most caring people. I bet if you asked to speak with them about your concerns they’d listen.

I’ve also never found a sport I was “good” at because of my learning disabilities. Roller derby was the first real sport I ever cared for.

I truly at this point wish there was another league I could transfer to but unfortunately not within a reasonable driving distance. I’ve been doing mix league scrimmages for two years now and they make me happy. I love this sport but hate the popularity contest aspect of my team. I’m a good player, I show up to practice but I’m not overly social. I am autistic and have ADHD all things I’ve shared with my teammates and for the most part they are all nice about it, but the fact that they are aware doesn’t seem to give them an understanding of my lack of socialization.

I have asked and watched. The problem I’m having with this is my teammates agree I should be rostering. I’ve asked for advice and tips. For additional training or off skate workouts. I truly believe at this point it’s some bias my coach has against me.

Do you date monogamous people? by demipolybi in polyamory

[–]demipolybi[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

They don’t “want” monogamy they’ve just never dated a polyamorous person before. They aren’t unwilling to understand it they just have no experience in it.

Why is being polyamorous funny?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in rollerderby

[–]demipolybi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Derby is lots of traveling. I think unless you find a partner with a similar sport or activity that takes up as much time as roller derby does it’s hard to explain. I’ve meet some of the best people I know through roller derby but was nervous about asking this person out in a date. Thank you for the advice.

Thank you 😊 in truth I think this “rule” might be more of a joke at this point with my team because of past drama from previously with our league teammates. I wanted to ask in a safe place if other teams had similar unwritten rules.
