"years of pleading" for an open relationship is kind of a flag. Maybe not a red one, but certainly a warning of some sort.
Also, not to repeat myself, but I think a lot of guys are kind of bad at dating and dating apps. There's a lot of self sabotage and then blaming external forces. A message of "hey" isn't going to win any prizes, and yet that's all some people can muster.
So many dumdums trying to gaslight their partners into thinking that it's not cheating, it's an open relationship.
If you have to convince your partner, it's not an open relationship, it's a toxic one.
It's really no wonder most marriages end up in divorce, when I see the quality of the relationships I wonder how they lasted more than two weeks.
we were having lunch beside a pond the other day, a bunch of fairy wrens came close by, a single male with about 3 or 4 female wrens in toe. My gf asked if I had ever thought about having a harem, i was "no no no, waaaay toooo much work", she laughed and laughed
I was lucky to find one woman that is willing to hang out with me for life. No fucking way I'd think I could trick a second one into not realizing I'm a strong 3.5 on a good day from a great distance and while not wearing their glasses.
Even if I did, I don't think I've got the physical or mental ability to disappoint two women at once!!
It is always funny to read about open marriage regret, especially when the husband pushed for it.
Those guys are total morons. The dating economics are way different for women then men. My wife and I are probably both in the same league, yet if we opened our relationship I bet shed have a new guy every single weekend if she wanted. I'd probably average a handful per year. That is just a recipe for disaster.
If you're going to do this as a man, you need to be in amazing physical shape. Otherwise it's going to be difficult for you. Hit the gym and get stacked.
You don't need to be in amazing shape (though it probably doesn't hurt) but you need to be way more interesting and emotionally mature than the average guy.
If you're the kind of person who gets upset like in this meme that your newly non-monogamous wife got more dates than you did, you are not mature enough to be getting dates with other non-monogamous people.
Yep, otherwise get used to sitting at home playing video games on a Saturday night while your wife is our getting plowed.
I wanna play video games while My spouse gets plowed! My fiance has a much higher sex drive than Me. I like sex sometimes, but most of the time I'd rather play Hades 2.
Interesting. I don't find that's the case at all. I'm certainly not "stacked", yet I've managed to find two partners that I absolutely adore. They each have other partners as well.
I'm pretty sure being open, honest, and vulnerable with a high EQ is far more important than having great abs. Don't get me wrong, I'm going to the gym when I can, but real open relationships are about more than sex appeal and jealousy.
