Authentic Polyamorous Duo

Hello, polyamory community! My boyfriend and I have recently embarked on a journey into polyamory, a decision we made together as a couple. Currently, we are actively seeking meaningful friendships with women. It's important to note that we are not on the hunt for a mythical unicorn, but rather a woman with whom we can genuinely connect and build a strong bond. We envision someone who can join us in exciting adventures, share laughter, explore new destinations, indulge in delightful dinners, and so much more. Additionally, we hope to find a comfortable woman dating both of us as a couple and individually. However, despite our efforts, we have encountered significant challenges in finding the right person to join our dynamic.
 
Hi and welcome. Would you like to share what those challenges are so we could perhaps help you overcome them?
 
Hello Evie, thank you so much for getting back to me. My boyfriend and I have been facing quite a few challenges when it comes to finding genuine connections with women. As I mentioned earlier, we both agreed to explore the polyamorous lifestyle and we're excited about it. However, we're not interested in finding a unicorn. What we truly want is to find a woman who can be a part of both of our lives and be treated equally by both of us. Unfortunately, it has been quite difficult for us to find someone. We've attended various events and even spent a significant amount of money on these so-called dating apps, but we're still unsure where to start. It's becoming quite frustrating, to be honest.
 
Have you considered dating separately?
 
I agree with ref. This woman you seek, to love and be loved by "equally" does not exist. That's why you are struggling to find her.

Most polyamorous couples find it much more successful to date separately.

Please take a look at this thread. There is important information and a couple of great links.


You can also do a search here using the term "triad," to see lots of people's personal experiences with trying to "add a third." I've got my own story, a disaster, as most of them are...

...and we don't mean people like SquishyHusk or the other ones (can't remember their names) who ended up in a triad without attempting to form one.

Right. Natural triads are a whole different thing from prescribed ones (not that Squishy Husk isn't struggling in his triad quite a bit).

[Prescribed, not proscribed. (FTFY). "Proscribed" means "forbidden."]

That goes to show that even when you do find the "right woman" things are still not guaranteed to go as imagined.

Sorry, boss. (I've been sick with the cold from hell for 2 weeks. Do I get a pass?)

You can just file it away for future reference. I rarely see "proscribed" used in everyday speech.

Sorry about the hijack.
 
Greetings TMLC2023,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

Sorry about the obstacles you have encountered in finding the right woman for you. Love is hard to find even in the monogamous world, so it isn't too surprising that it's hard to find in the polyamorous world. Good luck in your search, and I hope we can help. Have you tried Feeld?

Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter" :)

Notes:

There's a *lot* of good info in Golden Nuggets. Have a look!

(Feeld is broken for a lot of people right now.)
 
Well alas, we seem to have run out of decent poly-friendly dating sites.
 
OKCupid used to be good. But it has reportedly gone downhill in recent years.
