nu-male pursuits

[Kalahari Inkantation]

i'm not saying all """poly""" relationships are necessarily nu-male lol

just the heavily one-sided ones, in which one partner in practice only describes their relationship as "open" or "poly" to save face (whether they realize it or not)

well, and the ones looking for that hot bi female unicorn lol

[Samus Aran]

claims to be """polyamorous""" or in an """open relationship""" despite the fact that his gf or wife is the only one getting some on the side, rofl

whoops

[spoiler]in my case it's partly my own disinterest in other people and the relative complicated-ness of attempting to bang anyone other than my own gf. despite it being an open relationship i just can't be bothered lmao. i do flirt a lot tho[/spoiler]

Kaz. Really?

[Samus Aran]

Kaz. Really?

yes, neither of us particularly want exclusivity

we're pretty much only "dating" in that we spend a lot of time together and have a weird sort of emotional bond beyond friendship. but i wouldn't mind if we just called each other "friends with benefits" either

and yet in practice only one of you benefits from being non-exclusive

okay no but seriously i'm not just here giggling at your expense

Are you not worried she'll surprise you with a shiny new STD, at the very least?

being vegan

actually i disagree with this one lol

being a sanctimonious vegan is nu-male, but veganism in general isn't, in my most humble of opinions

[silvertone]

vegan is psycho

indoor rock climbing

bicycle commuting

drinking sours

bicycle commuting

i don't know if i agree with this one lol

it's only nu-male if you impede or are otherwise a nuisance to other traffic, or are careless in protecting yourself

that is actually a good point
the nu-males are riding ebikes or using bike shares

i mean i guess that's a slight concern but she's not very promiscuous, doesn't actually have sex very often at all outside of with me (she seems to have the same problem as me - she can't be bothered), and is pretty responsible about making sure she's clean and making sure others are as well

[Kalahari Inkantation]

and is pretty responsible about making sure she's clean and making sure others are as well

this is quite literally what they ALL say lol

please protect you'resel've

and now i have to pry: what are your long-term goals for that relationship

[Samus Aran]

don't have any, never really did
