Sometimes you have to read all 4 sentences of a small paragraph or you just end up making silly declarative statements against a stance nobody has taken.
I thought you claimed that poly relationships are not good for raising children?
Or was it the other guy? I'm lost at this point.
And hey, making silly declarative statements is what I do best. At least my username is capitalized! Neener neener.

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.
Oh I was right. You DID claim that. So my declarative statement wasn't silly at all because like I said, the poly/mono distinction has nothing to do with raising children. There's simply no reason to believe poly relationships can't raise children just as well as mono relationships and for exactly the same reason. End.
Now maybe let's get back on topic?
Yes it's far more normal and common to have no relationship experience by than people let on. There's lots of people like you and me, OP, who don't get out much, and even if there isn't, I don't care. We're fine as we are.
