If you're interested in a long term thing it's not like it's disappearing, there are ALWAYS people looking for that. But we've created an alternative. I don't really like one night stands, but I would like to be intimate with several people over the course of my life, for the same reason i want to travel as much as I can over the course of my life. I don't think it's natural to be with one partner for 30, 40, 50 years. My opinion might change as I age and I'm not as hot hahaha.
Hopefully we are headed in the right direction. I may be wrong but it seems that generally the hookup 'movement' is just something to do until a permanent partner is found. Consideration for polyamory is not yet taken seriously. Which is a shame imo. :wink: :wink:
Having kids is probably where polyamory is going to have a pretty big roadblock. It's definitely fine for people who don't want kids. And for many people who don't want kids, it's sort of how things go. But Joe running off for a date with Helen, while Diane sits at home with the crying baby that just fucked up her body is going to be a tough sell to Diane.
And if you're one of the ladyfolk, and you've got a bit of a shelf date on your desirability, and the future of polyamory is frequently going to be gross random old guys or cats, it's probably not as appealing to skip the permanent partner search.
