(I swear we had a dating comm at one point)
Hexbear elders have mentioned people couldn’t not be weird on the dating comm so it was shut down and the volcel vanguard became ascendant.
Eh, it was open for literally a day or 2 and I think it would’ve been improved massively had it just been renamed c/dating_advice so everyone knows it isn’t about trying to turn hexbear into a dating site but just to ask for and offer help
That’s a good development then. Full support to the Volcel police, The only three-way I’m interested in is splitting my rent three-ways.
The VOLCEL POLICE are on the scene! PLEASE KEEP YOUR VITAL ESSENCES TO YOURSELVES AT ALL TIMES.

Volcel police is queer erasure and someday I will die on that hill

One of the better hills I’ve seen hexbears die on
For sex? Hookup sites.
For dating? They’re called unicorns because bi people that will like both of you and also fit into your already pre-existing relationship without it becoming a disaster do not exist.
c/dating
There is absolutely no interaction you can have with anyone else about sex/dating, related to sex/dating or in the context of sex/dating that someone has not made a post about how it gives them the ick. Stop worrying about how internet people perceive you and worry exclusively about whether something is actually a good thing to do.
Power dynamics.

DO YOU DISAGREE?
Stop worrying about how internet people perceive you and worry exclusively about whether something is actually a good thing to do.
So many problems could be solved in an idealist scenario where people just followed this advice.
as someone who is poly imo, adding someone to an existing relationship is never a good idea. expecting someone to integrate into an existing relationship as a third partner just doesn’t really work and it’s much better to just find someone you want to date as an individual. trying to find a bi person who will like both of you is called unicorn hunting for a reason. and is also preeeeetty heteronormative/monogamous-normative? so
if its just for sex and not for dating idk i dont rly do sex
Congratulations on not doing sex, comrade! Doing sex leaves you vulnerable to many bourgeois manipulation tactics. In the days of the USSR, you would have been a valuable spy for your invulnerability to imperialist spy-vixens. Unlike that twat James Bond.
Hey, don’t make so many assumptions. I’ve never done a sex but if any imperialist spy-vixen wants to be forward enough I’m in
I’m not going to give away any secrets though, just think of me like our boy
There’s a polyamory comm although I dunno if it’s still around. I should get back to trying to post there if it is.
Anyway the only ethical way to do is it to really not, in my opinion.
Read some books like more than 2 or polysecure, go to couples counseling, and then decide to open your relationship. At which point use apps like feeld (and be very open and clear about what you’re looking for), go to munches or other community polyamory or non monogamy events, make community with other people who also do ethical non monogamy…and once you’ve done all that you’re probably ready to ethically unicorn hunt. And even then you’ll still probably fuck it up.
Anyway open to any questions about this. I am an experienced polyamorous person who has pretty much done it all. I’d share more credentials but I don’t want to doxx myself. I am not an expert but I know a lot and have a lot of community polyamorous experience.
I will also say if you’re a unicorn looking to be hunted this is much easier unless you’re a straight cis dude. If you’re queer of any gender or a cis straight woman it’s much easier…just go to events by yourself and every creepy couple in the room will find you. Ignore them and go talk to the friendly looking people who are just there to chill and hang out. It’ll be a much better experience.
If you’re queer pretty much avoid straight events and just find queer events. The straights are absolutely not okay so don’t waste your time.

Also yes the !polyamory@hexbear.net comm is still here
Honestly, idk…, 4 months ago I was the unicorn trans-fem apparently. At a monthly tenants union conference this couple came up to me and literally said the fucking line, “We really liked your vibe and saw you across the meeting… [etc]” like fucking THREE TIMES. But my autistic ass thought they were just like, complimenting my gender and outfit, so i was like, “OMGG ^w* thanbks you so much loll :33”
Then like 10 minutes later on my way home I realized they were hitting on me and holy shit am i fucking socially dumb.
Anyway, i would suggest to me more straightforward and less innuendo-ish and like, maybe asking for their number and establishing a connection and talking with them first so it doesn’t seem like a fetishistic chaser thing to the unicorn.
thats so cute omg
Get on feeld and lower your standards
Fantastic timing m’lord and lady, ol’ Jimmney the chimney sweep was itching for a good ol’ spot of the fucking and sucking, 'eh? Whatta ya say guv?
Try not being codependent
Then you can have threesomes or whatever like a normal person
stop fucking
Clear expectations & communication.
At this point in my life, if y’all see me at the bar and ask, it’s probably gonna just be a yes. No guarantee on being a unicorn tho.
be in the queer bdsm scene and be various types of genderqueer/trans and meet a cool person and kind of date them and have play dates for a year or so
helps to be best friends with your partner and be super fun together and you find a person that likes you each individually and whatever your combined personality is
just an anecdote take what you will from it
