    Thanks for the suggestions Kevin. I believe I tried OK cupid once; there was little in my area though.

    single or married (your preferences for secondary/etc relationships)

    Ideally, I'd say single (divorced, widowed, etc...) But you have to be very careful of even those who claim to be "single", "separated" or "divorced". Here is what recently happened to me: I came across someone 8 months ago who normally I probably wouldn't have been initially attracted to...

    not-quite-poly: lovers & friends w/ benefits

    I've cared for my friends-with-benefits/lovers....did I love them? No, because most never allowed me to get to really know them, to hang out with them and do other things. A few I would talk with, watch movies with, have drinks..I considered them btw the lover and BF, which was ok. Either...

    How do you find poly people??????

    New to poly

    I wonder how many confuse polyamory with just being plain old sexually promiscuous and using "well I'm polyamorous" as an excuse? I've certainly encountered a few men who said they were poly and I told them clearly they were not, because it's more of a relationship than just having a booty-call...

    New here, In a Poly, mixed-orientation marriage (MOM)

    I call myself "thirdalternative", because rather than cheat or get a divorce, we decided to have an open, polyamourous relationship. I've been married 16 years to a wonderful man. We have 3 children. Five years ago, he came out. We worked through the rough patches and stayed together...
