Hi there!

My name is ara, I've been poly since I can remember (my dad has stories about Barbie always have two or three Kens) and I'm in the middle of a couple of big life transitions with my primary partner, Tor.

I'm hoping to maintain a blog on this site, which you can find here if you would like to know more about me: http://www.polyamory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=75203
 
Greetings ara,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

I read your opening blog post, it is interesting to read about your adventures in poly. Tor sounds like a good guy. I hope you'll enjoy your stay with us and if you have any questions for me, just ping me on this thread.

Glad you could join us.
Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter" :)

Thank you for the welcoming! Toe is pretty darn wonderful. I'm looking forward to being a part of the community.
 
Welcome, I read your blog also and it made me think of when I was a kid. Your Barbie always had a couple of Kens. I had two friends, that we all played with everyday. Kathy , Jeannie, and I... It makes me wonder if being poly starts earlier than I imagined? Good Luck
 
From personal experience it seems like there are three groups of people. People who always had poly tendencies and just never really spent a lot of time with monogamy, people who had poly tendencies and were either serial monogamists or cheaters or preferred to have lots of casual partners instead of settling for one until they learned there was another option, or people who fell in love with a poly person and learned how to make the lifestyle work for them.

What do you guys think?

I suppose I mostly fall into the third group.

That would be me. Maybe you could make a poll here = see who agrees with your three options and see how many people choose "other".

Good idea! Thinking back I must have had poly tendencies always and the philosophy made sense to me, thus I chose poly to be my relationship style.
 
Jane that's a great idea. Thanks for the inspiration!
