New to the Boston area

[yngfithung]

Hi all! I am a 32yo male (look and feel younger) that recently relocated to the Boston area for a job. I am ex-military, graduate educated, bi, and very open to chatting and meeting up for friendship or more if it works out. I am new to this, but am very serious about finding the right situation.

I enjoy staying active and fit, reading lots of books, playing games (strategy and rpg), all kinds of movies and music (I'm a percussionist), visiting museums, traveling, and pretty much anything outdoors. I take very good care of myself and do not drink, smoke, or do drugs.

I'm interested in meeting a couple or a single guy or girl that wants to find a third together. If you are in the area, let’s grab lunch, visit a museum, or anything else that sounds fun!

Greetings xianairdowd04,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

Heh, I'm impressed with how active you are; I am sort of the opposite so I have to be impressed. Boston is a good place to be near if you're polyamorous; it is kind of known as a poly haven.

There are a number of ways to look for poly groups and poly-friendly people ... I see you're already familiar with our Dating/Friendships board. You've probably tried most of the following, but just in case:

• https://fetlife.com/
• https://en.lovoo.com/#/
• http://www.okcupid.com/
• http://www.facebook.com/
• http://www.beyondtwo.com/
• http://www.polygroups.com/
• http://polyamory.meetup.com/
• http://adultfriendfinder.com/
• http://www.polymatchmaker.com/
• http://www.polyamory.org/SF/groups.html

• http://openingup.net/resources/local-orginizations-u-s/
• http://www.polyamory.com/forum/showthread.php?p=83656#post83656

And of course you can google "Boston polyamory" and "Massachusetts polyamory" ... see what turns up ...

And,

"As for where to meet poly people, if by some chance you are interested in anything alternative like Renaissance fairs, goth culture, sci-fi conventions, indie music, bdsm, or any small fringe group, you will be more likely to meet people who have at least heard of poly and are accepting of it."
-- SpaceHippieGeek, Polyamorous Percolations

And, even if it's not an "alternative" type group, if there's a club or something in your area that does something you're interested in, you can always join that group and it just gives you a way to get out there and meet people. If you meet someone on a platonic level and get to talking about poly, then they can decide how they feel about it without any "pressure to agree." Then if they do decide poly doesn't bother them too much, and some kind of romantic connection subsequently develops, you'll already have "had the poly conversation" with them.

Perhaps somewhere in the above links and ideas you'll find something to help you in your search. Best wishes and I'm glad you're here.

Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter"
