I have a friend who yells MONOPLOT whenever we're watching a movie in which the characters get into zany situations because of monogamy. It's caught on and now we all groan MONOPLOT together whenever the conflict would be immediately resolved with just a little polyamory.

What do you yell when poly’s predatorily go after monogamous relationships because they assume all bonds of connection are temporary and up for grabs?

poly people assume all bonds of connection are temporary? News to me

Do you think people who identify as poly have a higher instance of viewing relationships as temporary/transitory than monogamous people?

I did a study and there was no statistically significant difference in relationship length between poly or monogamous couples. Regardless of how transitory or not they view it, it works out to roughly the same level of actual commitment.

I didn’t mean to imply all poly people are one way, and I know you’re a data oriented so I don’t have to go into skewed sample arguments but I’ll be curious as it becomes more socially acceptable how this dynamic plays out, especially the problem of mate poaching.
