Poly dating websites

Nope real life works best for me.
 
I have used OKcupid to find poly people, but no specific poly dating sites. I find it harder to find authentic people on OKC but easier to weed out non potentials. I find it easier to read body language authenticity in person, but harder to find someone I am compatible with.

Most recent guy I started dating, we are 85% match on OKcupid, but met in person, we had never seen each other's profiles on OKCupid before meeting in person. So strange world. I figure it's a numbers game and a bit of right place right time magical thing going on there.
 
I met Hubby, S2, and Guy (my first poly-relationship boyfriend, who's now just a friend) all through AdultFriendFinder. There apparently is an option on there to say you're interested in a polyamorous relationship, but in general, I find the site to be full of people who either don't understand what polyamory is, or choose to pretend they don't. So I wouldn't actually recommend that site if you're looking for a poly partner as opposed to just a sex partner, but I did have far better luck there than OKC or reality.
 
I dated and had hookups with various guys from OKCupid, but I found my husbands in person. :)
 
I've met lots of poly people and people open to poly on OKC and have found every one to be a good, sincere person. Have dated a number of people to greater or lesser extents and the experience was much as it is when meeting off the Internet - people are people and you attract whom you attract. I've settled into a lovely regular year-long dating relationship: met on OKC. OKC is by far the most voluminous dating website for poly people and like any huge dating website, you have to do your share of weeding through the options and zero in on people who speak to you, leaving aside those who are not your cup of tea. Your meet-up experience has a lot to do with your selection process and how you interact on the website.

Polymatchmaker.com has brought me together with a few folks, as has Openminded.com - both sites specifically for poly dating. Haven't pursued relationships there, but the people I've interacted with all seem genuine and likable. Again, selective sifting is key (as is being a likable, genuine person yourself. I can't tell you how many less-than-approachable people have complained to me that "dating websites don't work.")

I just checked out OpenMinded.com. I love the idea of it, but of course, there's only one person within 50 miles of me on it. I guess it's pretty new?

It has an overwhelming array of options for your gender and orientation. I felt so 90's saying "female bisexual" when I could be a "Non-Binary Skoliosexual."
 
Thank you so much everyone for the feedback, now I have a happily ocupied evening putting profiles on all of the above mentioned sites to see which one brings out the real poly and know what it means and not the poly curious :)
