I've mentioned before that I don't understand polyamory, monogam-ish, that cluster of things -- from the inside But (can be perceived as defense *and* critique thereof): they've always felt like more of a flex to me? Could be just my perception?

Sure! I think you've tweeted in public about it before, so ok if I ask out loud? (DM me if not)

I've tweeted on and off, but have committed to being very open about it this year, and see where it goes. It can feel like a flex sometimes, as my perception is almost no-one should try polyamory. Sometimes feels, and is reasonably seen as, somewhat elitist.

I had a friend in college who wrote a philosophy capstone defending polyamory He was a really good looking casanova type, and for a while we joked that he mainly wrote the paper to flex (and rationalize the social consequences of his romantic habits)

I think this conversation is adjacent to some slightly uncomfortable realities about attractiveness It’s not as simple as a rank-order scheme, and certainly there’s a lot of room for individual subjectivity and mobility But some people *do* have more options than others

We don’t talk about it very explicitly but we tend to expect couples to have relative parity in attractiveness or status (including non-aesthetic dimensions)pic.twitter.com/hAYClbDG3I
