Honestly, I point out to most single people whom I know that they live polyamorously or ‘open.’

the more people i hear describe polyamorous lifestyles the more it sounds like escapism to me. all i know for certain is that it’s a lifestyle that is very alien to me and i have trouble comprehending why it is something anyone would want because it’s not something i would ever want.

The idea that it is riskier for men to ask for an open relationship flies in the face of the whole “Man murders wife in jealous rage” thing that has happened.............................throughout history.

I don’t believe that married men live longer than unmarried ones, it just feels longer.

B-I-N-G-O. I scrolled all the way through the comments to see if someone else said it before posting this myself. Women seek open relationships; men just cheat. An oversimplification sure, but I’d wager large sums that this is how it breaks out statistically.

LOL, and who is going to take care of that shit? Some of us don’t have mothers or wives taking care of our adult responsibilities. Get the fuck out of here, lazy slob. The whole fucking point is that women do not get to be lazy shitheads because you fucking slackers dump that on us while you are toking it and…

Because of patriarchy, women are still stuck doing the majority of the housework, childcare and emotional work. Of course you dudes think that women don’t want sex outside of their relationship (you also think that naked pictures of good looking men are only for gay men and that straight women love naked tits. You…

I think more men are interested in casual sex because the quality doesn’t change as much. They are almost a,ways getting off. For women, casual sex is like Russian roulette.

I actively hate that I find myself conforming to the put-upon woman stereotype, but oh my god, if a dude is lounging on the couch while I’m making dinner, cleaning up the dishes from breakfast, and tidying up the litter box in between, sleeping with him is the absolute last thing on my mind later that evening. And,…

Also, male ego gets in the way of most guys actually being ok with an open relationship. What they really mean is THEY want an open relationship, they want you to be the main girl who only wants them. I am strongly monogamous/traditional, and have had three ex’s suggest opening up the relationship. As soon as another…

I wonder if it’s that men tend to get the better deal out of relationships (http://www.health.harvard.edu/newsletter_article/marriage-and-mens-health) and so would have fewer incentives to open up the arrangement.

The drop in interest, to me, has more to do with finding out that your male partner is also a child you have to take care of. Women do more “work” in relationships than some (not all!) men and that leads to strain. By work, I mean social relationships with other couples, house cleaning, child rearing, and so on.

My birth control absolutely KILLED my sex drive. Aside from all the other effects, that one was emotionally frustrating to deal with and even though I’ve been off hbc for about five years now, I feel so much better. Power to those for who it works and you feel fantastic, I am happy for you, but dammit to hell for…

I’m thinking that the precipitous drop in desire for women has to be due in part to hormonal birth control. That stuff can be like chemical castration for me.

I don’t know if anyone is keeping track of how often twitter investigators are right about these things but Claude Taylor (@truefactsstated) has been saying this for a while. I take those tweets with rather large grains of salt, because I mostly read them so that I can keep my sanity and hope that someone is doing…

She is just insufferable in every way. I really wonder what the count is for screaming off cam once the interview is over with her. Her little “irrelevant” quip, reality itself does not matter to her.

I’m going to fucking die: “Rename your Anxiety Excitement.”

Friendly reminder to fly Virgin America, Alaska, or JetBlue

Do men really think that ‘mail order’ brides are marrying them for love? Do the men love the wives? This comes across as excessively harsh on the women when presumably both sides know what they’re getting into...

Had a client years ago who was independently wealthy (I worked at an Architecture firm specializing in large estate homes), and he described in great length how he managed to ‘meet’ his Russian bride. Apparently he had to go 3 times before he found ‘the right one’, at the cost of about $20k after all was said and…
