Greeting and salutations from a (gasp!) rainy Southern California!

We'll admit it...we've been lurking a bit because we're polywogs, but communicating on how our relationship continues to evolve and grow deepens our bond and just makes the adventure all the more enjoyable! We're Matt and Dee (hence the “MAD” part of our moniker), came together in an unlikely way (funny story for another time, perhaps?) and are broadening our outlook and focus on making each other's lives better and expanding our horizons in all aspects; we'll have just as much satisfaction enjoying a nice meal with company or when we would go on a motorcycle ride together as we would relaxing at home for a quiet (or not so quiet...) evening. We are just as committed and appreciative towards each other now as we were five years ago; we want to enjoy our lives together; up, down or sideways...and it shows, mentally and physically; never taking each other for granted, love seeing the joy and happiness in each other's eyes when we're playing around or seeing the focus on working our bodies to improve our looks, health and longevity. We've discussed a polyamory relationship as a long term possibility; the pragmatic approach to sharing a life together has many advantages and challenges, as well as the connection with intimacy. Granted, we understand that this may limit the amount of people to interact with, and realize that anyone we include into our lifestyle will be someone that is as special and fleeting to us as it would be to catch that mythical unicorn...hence our reluctance to just chum for anything to bite, as we want to become a meaningful part of her life as well.
 
Greetings MADadventures,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

I am glad you could join us, I have enjoyed your posts so far. I hope you'll find that special someone to join you and share a life with you. If there's anything we can do to help, let us know. You sound like a fun couple!

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

Notes:

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

Please read through the guidelines if you haven't already.

Note: You needn't read every reply to your posts, especially if someone posts in a disagreeable way. Given the size and scope of the site it's hard not to run into the occasional disagreeable person. Please contact the mods if you do (or if you see any spam), and you can block the person if you want.

If you have any questions about the board itself, please private-message a mod and they'll do their best to help.

Welcome aboard!

Much obliged, Kevin...the guidelines were well worth the read before we created the account, and the nuggets of info are more than worth their weight in gold!

Hey Dee or Matt,

You may have missed in the Guidelines that it is expected a couple do not share an account. It makes for confusion for the other members when they don't know who they are talking to on any given day.

If you really really must use one account, please post every time who is actually speaking/typing/expressing thoughts, in each post.

Thanks!
 
Hi Matt - and welcome to the Forum! We will look forward to hearing more of your story as it unfolds. Please do not hesitate to join in the conversation and post any specific thoughts and questions that you may have. We do have a good number of experienced poly folks here who are generally quite friendly and helpful.

And, yes, thanks for sharing your name - it is our custom here for each individual to have their own screen name (and not to post as a "couple"). It really is not a matter of suspected deception, as it is the recognition that each person has their own thoughts - and that a couple is not a "person". The idea is out there that a triad is a "joint relationship" - but it's not really. A has a relationship with B, and a separate one with C. Same for B and for C. The general public seems to have the idea that poly is all about FMF triads or V's - but, in reality, that is the least common poly configuration. MFM V's seem to more common, and each partner dating independently is the most common of all. (This is obviously in contrast to the "swing" philosophy, which is generally couple-centric).

Thanks for sharing and best of luck on your continuing journey!
