It's not uncommon in this area so I find this new feature of OKC's to be interesting and I'm curious as to how well it will take off.

Hm. That's interesting.


My main poly group came together because of OKC.

Well, good for them! I've sent several nasty-grams to poly amorous guys on dating websites who contacted me. What about my profile makes them think I'd be interested in that? NOTHING! So now maybe they'll leave me alone. Unless they aren't really poly amorous, but just guys looking to cheat.

Oh, but I'm sure no one would ever do that.......

Don't think I ever sent a nasty gram just because someone contacted me for something I wasn't down for (that they should have known from my profile.)


It was after the "Um, thanks but no thanks"
Then the "But you gotta give me a chance, ur hooottttt"


that I began demanding haikus. About bizarre sex acts. And asking them weird personal questions and suggesting body modifications.


Actually I don't think I sent any nasty grams. Where's the fun in that?

Very rude of you. Presumably you're looking to date. You don't have to be poly to date poly people. I'm not at all poly but have dated several. No reason to be nasty to someone because you were interested in them just because you're not interested back.

I think some people make a normative judgment about polyamory in general and people who are into it specifically. I'm not saying that's right, but it happens. So her objection may have come from what she thought the guy thought of her that he would suggest she'd be into that.


I'm in my late 50s and I struggle sometimes with the way sexual mores (across the board, not just poly)have changed in the last decade or 2. Intellectually and even emotionally in the abstract I know it's for the better. Who can genuinely argue with people doing what makes them happy and being open and honest about it. Sometimes my head spins, though.

So cool! It reminds me of Fet. My exH and I linked our profiles. I met and dated quite a few poly/open people (when I was in an open marriage).

It's always nice to have another feature like this, and I think it may be useful for some poly people, but useless for most. If your poly partner isn't looking, they probably don't want the attention a linked profile would generate, and the annoying emails, etc.. Mine doesn't even have a profile, and doesn't want one.
