[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ENM/poly people are into the whole thing to cover up insecurities, low self-esteem, trauma, etc[/quote]

I’ve never met a person in a poly relationship where I didn’t wonder “how did this person get even one person to sleep with them, let alone two”[/quote]

[b]We look like everyone else[/b], and we are everywhere. We are your friends, coworkers, relatives, neighbors. We just don’t talk about it with you because you are not a safe person to confide in.[/quote]

Sure, in a “that person probably wears a tail to GenCon” kinda way.[/quote]

You know, at a certain point, non-monogamous/poly relationships will become more mainstream, and making fun of them will be like calling people "gay" as an insult. It's easy to punch down now, but you're on the wrong side of history. And on a deep, perhaps unconscious level, you are threatened by such relationships. [/quote]

DP. Your wished-for "certain point" isn't coming along along any time soon. Not in mainstream American society.[/quote]

They're already more mainstream and people are more tolerant. People who only see the surface level of poly relationships might be threatened, but those who have seen beyond the tip of the iceberg know that poly is at least as dysfunctional as anything else in human society.

IME everyone in a polycule feels fulfilled and happy like 5% of the time.
