Hah
Sure, you may have multiple partners
But do you have four feral cats you feed regularly who think you're the best human being on earth?
No. You don't. Losers.

Whats crazy to me is never that women can get more action then dudes most of the time, but that people have so much free time. Like dating several, not in a dining table relationship, but like planning a time to go out and meetup for some time, dating.
Let alone the finances fuck
For women that part is easier since you're generally not expecting a woman to pay on a date anyway.
Good luck affording dating multiple people as a dude though.
Gender...
I was lucky to find one woman that is willing to hang out with me for life. No fucking way I'd think I could trick a second one into not realizing I'm a strong 3.5 on a good day from a great distance and while not wearing their glasses.
Even if I did, I don't think I've got the physical or mental ability to disappoint two women at once!!
That sounds like a recipe for success

This is my take, too. I'm objectively decent looking, but there's no way anyone other than Mrs. Shovel be able to tolerate me.
That's why you get yourself a girl with bad vision and then hide her glasses. Worked for me
It is always funny to read about open marriage regret, especially when the husband pushed for it.
Those guys are total morons. The dating economics are way different for women then men. My wife and I are probably both in the same league, yet if we opened our relationship I bet shed have a new guy every single weekend if she wanted. I'd probably average a handful per year. That is just a recipe for disaster.
Correction: Every hour if she wanted
why not more than 1 at once.
My wife and I actually met because of this kind of thing. Not only that, but the relationship I was in before meeting her ended because my partner at the time decided that she wanted an open relationship exactly long enough to get involved with one of my friends and then leave me for him.
Her late spouse did the whole forced poly/open relationship crap and I was one of the people they started talking to. It's actually seeing how her ex treated me that let her finally realize she was in an abusive marriage and put her foot down and leave. We've been together 10 years now, married for almost 8.
That's kind of awesome.
So many dumdums trying to gaslight their partners into thinking that it's not cheating, it's an open relationship.
If you have to convince your partner, it's not an open relationship, it's a toxic one.
It's really no wonder most marriages end up in divorce, when I see the quality of the relationships I wonder how they lasted more than two weeks.
As a polyamorous individual, I whole-heartedly agree! Actual polyamory is often hard and requires a lot of attention and dedication.
I was open with every, single person involved about the fact I am this way, and have done my best at every step and with each new addition that none of them felt like a "side-piece."
Real polyamory is made of much of the same stuff as real monogamy: hardcore honesty, vulnerability (especially when it's hard), open, crystal clear communication, and most importantly, consent! Safe, sane, informed consent. If you haven't put every, single goddamn card on the table, you're not polyamorous, you're a playboy.
"years of pleading" for an open relationship is kind of a flag. Maybe not a red one, but certainly a warning of some sort.
Also, not to repeat myself, but I think a lot of guys are kind of bad at dating and dating apps. There's a lot of self sabotage and then blaming external forces. A message of "hey" isn't going to win any prizes, and yet that's all some people can muster.
While I don't disagree, many of the women I've seen on dating apps have about as much personality as a cardboard box, yet still get tons of matches. It's just annoying having to be super funny and interesting and etc to get any attention at all, compared to the other person actually just existing and saying "hey."

Having to plead with your partner for years about something you consider to be quite important to the relationship (like opening it to other people) is weird in general.
If you're having to harangue them like that, it seems like a sign that the two of you might not be compatible with each other.
Idk i think asking to open up the relationship is always a mistake, you should just break up instead. Open relationships work but they have to be that way from the outset. At least ive seen about a dozen relationships open up and every single one ended badly. I know three successful open couples and they were all like that from the beginning.
To me it seems the only way opening up after works, is if "after" is "after they've become empty nesters." Because a lot of the people with functioning open relationships seem to be 50+.

If you're going to do this as a man, you need to be in amazing physical shape. Otherwise it's going to be difficult for you. Hit the gym and get stacked.
Interesting. I don't find that's the case at all. I'm certainly not "stacked", yet I've managed to find two partners that I absolutely adore. They each have other partners as well.
I'm pretty sure being open, honest, and vulnerable with a high EQ is far more important than having great abs. Don't get me wrong, I'm going to the gym when I can, but real open relationships are about more than sex appeal and jealousy.

Yep, otherwise get used to sitting at home playing video games on a Saturday night while your wife is our getting plowed.
I wanna play video games while My spouse gets plowed! My fiance has a much higher sex drive than Me. I like sex sometimes, but most of the time I'd rather play Hades 2.
Hello! I'd like to sign up to either play videogames with you, or plow your wife, please. But not both at the same time.
@Mechoselachia@multiverse.soulism.net Hey someone wants to fuck you I think

Thank you! That's very considerate. Sounds like it's mating and/or gaming season.
You don't need to be in amazing shape (though it probably doesn't hurt) but you need to be way more interesting and emotionally mature than the average guy.
If you're the kind of person who gets upset like in this meme that your newly non-monogamous wife got more dates than you did, you are not mature enough to be getting dates with other non-monogamous people.
I've been poly for almost 5-6 years now and I do better than most, but nowhere near as well as women.
I have some women friends who see several men a night.

When we opened up our marriage I wasn't as interested in meeting new people as she was. So she did her thing and I listened to the stories she told of her dates and also the stupid dudes that messaged her
That actually got me interested as well so I created an account on the same site without a picture and without telling her. So the first thing I did was message her, pretending to be some unknown dude. I got her hooked with just one short message. Felt good to know that I could still rizz her.
Of course I knew that all in all she would be more "successfull". But we both had our ups and downs, had fun, broke hearts, got our hearts broken. Eventually she stopped dating and I kept going until I couldn't go on.
In the end, I have slept with more women after marrying than before. Met many interesting people and learned a lot of stuff about myself.
But the most important thing about an open relationship is that it is open in communication. In that way we were open even before we started dating other people. And I think that is why it worked.
There's an episode of South Park like this where Randy and his wife go on Only Fans. She's making a ton of money within a month, he is obliviously not.
Dude is an idiot. Should’ve just find other couples who wants to swap.
we were having lunch beside a pond the other day, a bunch of fairy wrens came close by, a single male with about 3 or 4 female wrens in toe. My gf asked if I had ever thought about having a harem, i was "no no no, waaaay toooo much work", she laughed and laughed
Yeah even in completely mutual open relationships this is typically what happens.
And it doesn't help that I'm bad at talking to women. My girlfriend ended up setting me up with more people than I found myself.
Either you interpret “completely mutual” differently from me or you're wrong. When people go into it with open communication and really ask themselves what would happen if their partner acted like them but was more successful, this doesn't happen.
????
I don't understand what you're trying to say?
I was just saying even when it's mutual women get more interest than men.
I see, I meant the part where the dude gets flustered about that fact and problems arise.
It's often a part of these stories and I never get how a couple with communication skills that bad expects a different outcome.
Yet all poly people I know just … do their thing and are happy.
Bro should have tried Grindr.
