You meet these people regularly enough to have spotted common themes?

I wonder what kind of circles one would have to move in to not only encounter so many people like this, but who also happily divulge such information within the five minutes before labelling you a "bro/douchebag"?

I would guess universities in big cities or very, very rural areas (where all the SJW freaks from 100 miles converge, jaded from their small little conservative towns).

I get the exact same treatment by a lot of younger dudes, especially theater kids. That thread about theater students is one of the truest posts I've ever read.

So yes these circle exist, and they're who you'd expect them to be. Anyone in the inner-most circles of cuckdom tend to be smug and write off guys who don't look like shit or act like meek bitches.

Sadly, yes.

Circles I generally try and avoid at all costs, but sometimes get sucked into for a brief minute or two. "Yes, I'm voting for Trump, yes, I own a bunch of guns, yes I came here with that 21 year old, no I haven't watched that TV show and I don't get the reference."

This guy seems to have dedicated his life to normalising polyamory.

I don't have a problem with homosexuals, but I do think legalizing gay marriage has opened the door for accepting every sort of sexual deviant behavior on the planet.

It went from accepting gay marriage, to accepting men using women's bathrooms, polyamory, and pediophila.

The progressive train never stops. Legalize/normalize one thing, and a couple years later it will be some other fucked up behavior or concept that is being pushed towards acceptance.

RE: When did polyamory become a thing?
Male polyamory has been fairly normal historically (I've heard it was the Catholic Church in the early days of Christianity which made the push for monogamy; prior to that in the Bible wealthy men frequently had multiple wives or concubines).

The push for female polyamory is just a feminist thing, it's been pretty much non existent save a few obscure cultures like Tibet.

I don't believe females are hardwired to want polyamory naturally just for biological reasons; from a biological POV a man having multiple women has advantages since he can produce more offspring that way, but there are no such advantages for a woman with multiple husbands/boyfriends.

If this is true and not an exaggeration...well damn.

Good post DD, any more details on #6? I am curious how that gets structured, even the actual text you would see in a trust, if you happen to have it. I have thought about what you have written but never knew how that would be laid out in a legal structure.

One of my concerns is whatever it is I have earned in my life - gets pissed away by the next generation.

I have a female acquaintance who is into the burningman culture which is rife with this crap. Most of the women are on medication to either be able to sleep or to keep them from slitting their wrists. The men are not much better. Some of the most messed up people and relationships I've ever seem in my life.

Have a hard time believing that for a variety of reasons.

For one under normal circumstances (not counting complete beta males) men would be much more likely to get jealous of one another, or fight over who the father of the child is.

These problems wouldn't exist if the man has multiple wives/girlfriends, plus what I've read is that fidelity to women is more about "emotional fidelity" than purely physical fidelity like it is to men.

And as far as I'm aware of, a woman "sleeping with lots of men" has never been a mark of social status in any culture, and been frowned upon.

Some hypersexual women may have a desire to sleep with many men just due to sexual addiction, but sleeping with lots of guys just to "boast about it" like men do doesn't seem natural; rather it seems like something related to the feminist movement simply as a 'reversal' of traditional gender roles.

When women cheat or sleep around, I believe it's almost always due to the guy being a complete beta choad, or terrible in the sack, as opposed to cheating simply to put another 'notch' on one's belt like some men do.

I believe this is actually incorrect. I'm no scientist, but based on what I've read about evolution, a women with many sexual partners is considered low-value, and less likely to attract a quality mate. Looking at it from an evolutionary standpoint, the men sought the best quality women to have his children. The women women would try to qualify themselves, and from this, the men decided.

So a girl, was a slut, would presumably have children, but no man would stick around to provide for her, and thus she'd die and eventually her lineage would cease to exist.

But who knows....

Polyamory is ass backwards and I think is a direct result of feminism. There's no evolutionary benefit for a female to be with many partners. I do agree that looking at it from an evolutionary standpoint is silly, however, with the invention of condoms and birth control. It's just a combination of men becoming effeminate, and girls wanting the best of both worlds; a provider male, and an endless stream of cocks.

RE: When did polyamory become a thing?
Historically, women who had a large number of sexual partners either died in child birth or became infertile due to STDs. Pre birth control and antibiotics sex was a dangerous proposition for a woman.

Only an armchair evolutionary biologist would disagree. More sexual partners = vastly increased chances of acquiring an STD, especially before latex condoms were invented.

People forget that even benign STDs (or, what we see as 'benign' today) would wreck the body and the brain and would practically guarantee infertility at the very least.

Go google "What would happen if [INSERT NAME OF STD] is left untreated". That's what would have happened to women who contracted STDs before antibiotics came along.

And that's just one disease Wink

PS: STDs aren't anything new, gonorrhea's symptoms were first described in the 1200s. Had to say that in case any conspiratard claims STDs are a recent 'invention'.

Gents, let's be clear.

I am not talking about a hundred years ago or a thousand years ago but much much longer.

I.e. during the millions of years when we actually evolved.

What STDs have got to do with this, god only knows.

RE: When did polyamory become a thing?
This thread has kind of gone off the rails into evolutionary psychology MGTOW navel-gazing. The real question regarding the surge in "polyamory" should be - how does this increase my notch count?

There are a lot of girls who are in "open relationships" in ultra-liberal New England, particularly on online dating sites. And the truth is, while they're usually a 6 or 7 at best, if you can grab their attention long enough to pull them out, in my experience (banged two of them) they often don't care if you're really into "the lifestyle" or not, not all of them are completely wackadoodle, and they're some of the easiest first date lays going.

RE: When did polyamory become a thing?
It's nothing new. Back in biblical times men could have multiple wives
and scores of concubines...if they could afford them.

Polyamory is exciting to some people...the thrill of meeting someone new
without having to lie and cheat and hope you don't get caught.

It's a great fanstasy...however the cost is that you sacrifice intimacy
and your relationships suffer. I agree that dating and marriage should be separate
however some people will not find married life enough to satisfy them...
or they've made poor choices and want an escape without getting divorced.

I've seen far more of this bullshit about polyamory in online profiles than I've ever heard about in real life. It's just the losers at the far left side of the bell curve sharing their meager pickings. Pathetic.

The girls who say they aren't looking for a hookup are almost always looking for a hookup. It's hilarious.

You have to remember what "Not looking for a hookup!" means in girl-speak.

"Not looking for a hookup" means "I don't want to have some player who doesn't care about me bang me after two hours of conversation and then never contact me again. That makes me feel bad."

You'll notice that nowhere do they say "I don't want to have a casual fuckbuddy relationship with a high-value guy who doesn't commit to me and who I know is seeing other women, but always texts me to tell me how much he enjoyed my company and sees me about once a week and occasionally takes me out to do girlfriend sorta stuff."

It's not what they say, but what they don't say. Because when you have a man and a woman who are both "poly" and the guy can actually get laid as well, what does the "relationship" finally boil down to than just what I typed in my third paragraph?

RE: When did polyamory become a thing?
No woman is in a "polyamorous" relationship with a man she actually respects and is committed to.

On one side of the spectrum, it's just a misused term that means you casually date different people at the same time never being serious or committed to any of them. On the other end of the spectrum it means you openly (or privately) cheat on your lover because they aren't good enough for you to be sexually exclusive with but they check off other boxes and are spineless enough to go along with it (or maybe they don't know).
