I think things like this come in degrees and maybe I am one far end of the spectrum on it... where someone who is poly, into multiple partners can be on the other end of the spectrum. Just means different people (men and women) are different in their approach to sex, intimacy, and emotion.
In my experience, most women are in the same category that you are.

One man, at a time. We are just so much work anyway, who'd want more than one?

My woman likes other women also. So we can play in that arena safely with no problem. As long as she leaves after, and I don't have any contact with her, thats good with us. We never play with friends, the ties are to close.

i thought that applied to mostly all women, seems it may just be a popular myth

I kept it going for a full year, it was good and it was all I needed/wanted at the time because I didn't want a relationship due to it being a transitional period in my life (new empty nester, new-job seeker). The non-fwb/non-bf guy I had met was pretty much in the same place. Cut off the fwb recently and focusing more on the new guy, who is definitely LTR material. Think it's the slowest I've ever taken to build a relationship, but it's worked out to the best so far.
thanks, that's what's cooking in my world with my LA babe i guess...

i'm still gonna treat it as "the jury is still out" on the question, but point taken. sorry if i didn't readily accept your comments, just difficult to distinguish truth from dogma sometimes with you. just sayin'
