That's where I am right now. I have been "looking" for about a year with no luck. I mean, I have met women who are willing to date me, but I either don't want to date them or they end up wanting "too much" from me. I'm taking a break. So. Done. With. Dating.

Do things that you like and you will find people that you like. In addition to joining a local poly group - there are lots of people in most local "swing" communities who are also poly/open. Just a thought. Basically, just try to cast a broader net and you'll find someone, I'm sure.

I wish I could be that way. I am too picky, I guess. But I figure, why settle? It's not about getting laid, right? It's about finding someone with whom I am compatible and, as much as I hate to say it, looks matter to me. I have faith that I'll come across the right women, eventually. Does that...

I am floored that, in this thread, there are reports of men who seem like absolute Casanovas; getting laid with an ease I can't fathom. Who are these men and what is their secret? Seriously, I am attractive, educated and gregarious and I've been looking for playmates for about a year now, with...

That response, in my loving opinion, is very manipulative. Your relationship is not a bargaining chip in a negotiation. Either you both are committed to the relationship and to working through the issues that lead to your insecurities, or you are not. Decide; yes or no. Do you want the...

I have read a few of those threads and guess I didn't feel like they addressed the issue in this specific context (Tinder). Either that, or maybe I'm just not very good at extrapolating. ;) I'll go back and read them again. It's been a while. Thanks so much and here's wishing you a life full...

I did a search and didn't come up with much. Sorry if this is repetitive. Also, I have a friend in NYC who basically confirms what you have said: in NYC Tinder is solely for hook ups. That is not the case where I live.

I think I would agree with putting it front and center before the first meeting if it weren't Tinder being discussed. Honestly, I feel like many people ARE on Tinder to hook up, even if it's not the majority, and if that's true it's akin to a ONS and I don't think my being poly needs to be...

Relatively new poster, but long time lurker in these parts. I did a search for a discussion of Tinder and didn't get many hits - just some blog type posts about how people have met other people on Tinder. My questions really revolve around using Tinder and other dating apps in an ethical...

In my experience (YMMV), I do not like to invest a lot of time into messaging before meeting in person. First, talking about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in person is one of the fun things about getting to know someone. Second, I have, on more than one occasion, had GREAT...
