I have tried fet. It's just porn, I left it because I wasn't going to post porn pictures and men just wanted to cheat on their wives or children trying to get me to sleep with them. I've tried the poly Facebook groups, they just devolve into fights and arguments.Hello! I’m also in Maryland, but a bit away from you. There are tons of events and meetups - including smaller groups - in Baltimore. Have you done any searching on Fet? There are some area-specific Facebook Poly groups as well that cover our state, and that might be a good way to meet people and chat one-on-one first. PoDS - Maryland might be a good place to start.
You can message me if you’d like.
I wouldn’t use Fet to find partners, but smaller groups with meetups that are local to you. Maybe if you don’t want to attend, you could still message attendees and strike up a friendship that way?I have tried fet.

Yeah, social anxiety makes group events impossible for me. I hate it, I wish I could do them. But it scares the living daylights out of me.I wouldn’t use Fet to find partners, but smaller groups with meetups that are local to you.

PoDS doesn’t seem to have any arguments, so I would recommend them. I’ve been to a couple of their board game socials.
Hmmm well other than what I’ve suggested, the regular dating apps are what I use to connect with others: OKCupid, #Open and Feeld. All of them have drawbacks and you gotta do the work to sift through the nonsense, but I’ve found solid partners and friends over time.Yeah, social anxiety makes group events impossible for me.

I tried a Polyam discord group, they were hateful to me telling me that the reason I couldn't find anyone was because I wasn't engaging or I was too boring. I left it. (That server collapsed because of fighting. ) I tried kik groups, they're inactive or bots.
Yep, been on and off the apps for years.Hmmm well other than what I’ve suggested, the regular dating apps are what I use to connect with others: OKCupid, #Open and Feeld.

Good luck with your search!
I've been on Fetlife since about 2009. I've met several people from there, some as friends and a few dating prospects. My current bf of 21 months and I chatted as friends all through the pandemic and met once vaccines were available.I have tried fet.
