Wasn't my intention to insult, it just seemed like a fit. Everyone is working on different things.

Watched a bit of the interview. He's seems good for everything you're working on.

You had a poly relationship?

Knew @LordFall was gonna hop on this My biggest concern with poly is that you are going to be expending way too much time and energy on romantic relationships. I need solitude and time for sense-making and spirituality.

You are describing all the primary goals and values of SD Green.

Many reasons. Think of all the assumptions being made when you assume free, open sharing is automatically better.

Yes, good example of holding frame. IRL though, it's not necessarily this overt. Frame can be extremely subtle.

@Miguel1 I think you know some of my thoughts on this. It sounds like you are organizing your dating life around maximal disclosure. For you, the more vulnerability and openness, the better. That is not how I think about dating. Disclosure needs strong boundaries, especially during the early stages of meeting someone. You don't just dump everything on them. You should be selective with what you share. I do not consider that discernment a violation of truth.

Also, how do you now have more forum posts than me? You are a forum fiend

This is a bad take. Yes, online dating apps are playing a larger role, which are visually driven. But that does not mean the chief thing women desire from modern men is now their looks.

Probably a backlash from everything Trump-related.

Bro, social media is not stopping women from getting horny. Attraction is way too serious and deeply rooted in survival for that to happen. If some reasonable percentage of women are not finding you attractive, you are doing something wrong. Period.

This is just completely false. I get that you're in a bad spot right now, but this ain't the answer.

There’s no easy answer for that. You have to develop wisdom and choose your pressures wisely. That’s the only real solution.
