Don't get me wrong guys, I realize we all have qualities we think are admirable as well as flaws we hope nobody see's. I've met a couple guys since I moved to this area but they seem to expect that I'd be okay being one of the many women they have casual sex with. Is it a Portland thing where men are always out for the latest and greatest? Any thoughts on where I should hang out to meet the good ones? I'm a one guy kinda woman.
Where did you move from? Portland has that west coast flavor to its culture but Portlanders seem more laid back than some people in other major cities out west. That's not to say that west coast culture is bad, it's just different. When I lived in Portland the clubs were fun but so were the artsy things so the library, Saturday Market, pubs which have a different feel in Portland than any other place I've lived. Those were good places at least I thought so. You also have to remember that it rains a lot...I mean a lot in Portland and it's dark so people have a tendency to stay inside a little more and many people have places where they gather either in homes or a specific hangout. My point is that you're not going to meet as many people on the street in Portland because of the weather and people having their heads down.
Your best bet would be to post this to the Portland forum and people there will give you very specific information about where to go and what to do in town. Portland really is a great town, I only left because I really need to sun to be happy.

I always enjoyed my time in Portland and I wish Seattle had the same night life .

Do you like hiking? The hiking club, "The Mazamas", is popular. They may have singles hikes. Most hiking clubs do.

Not sure where you'd meet them but Powell's seems a more likely place to meet a good guy in Portland. But they're shy and mostly hiding in the woodwork.

Great suggestion! Check out their events calendar, and start attending book readings/signings, and whatever else they have.
It's true that polyamory is the default for a certain kind of young guy in the area. But there are a loooooot of monogamous guys, too. They are just less vocal about it because it is not fashionable.
