[Ceoli]

I've been in Florida since March sorting out residency issues. I got thrown out last year when my visa was denied. But now it's all fixed and I can return.

Florida has been great in many ways, hard in others. I do love the weather and have had some great things happen here, but I just can't make it "work" for me. Can't find the right jobs, pay or opportunities. Plus I have a life back in London that I loved and want to get back to with amazing friends and work and such. So I'm grateful for the experience here in FL, but I'm looking forward to getting out of limbo and back to life.

[dakid]

i bet london has been missing you too...

i have tried to live elsewhere more than once but somehow she always pulls me back ;)

I hope you're all well & don't mind me posting this on your website - I'm working on a brand new Channel 4 TV Series and I'm wondering if the below will be of interest to any polyamorous people in the UK?

We're looking for couples who would like to have a wedding, civil partnership, re-new their wedding vows and/or have a civil blessing for FREE at our ‘Wedding House’. Maybe a couple who would like to promote polyamorous relationships? Or a couple who enjoy an alternative lifestyle and would like a ceremony that reflects their interests?

If you would like any more info please do not hesitate to shout! I would love the opportunity to chat with you about the programme, so do please give me a buzz on 0207 290 0540. IF it's not for you please do spread the word!

Hello Folks!
Another new UK site member - living just outside London - and there was I beginning to think I was the only poly person in the UK!
:-)

[MrRusty]

Nah, there's me here too.

Kent in the Week and chez wife in West Yorkshire at weekends, oh and bloody Belgium when I can get to see the g/f. Why the chuff did she do that??

Absence makes the heart grow fonder? Imagine how fond I get with all this absence in my life!!

[KnightandDamsel]

We're all the way down in Plymouth, and are open fun-filled nights with playmates.

Both of us are only really interested in women sexually, but we're interested in meeting new friends, and talking to other people interested in the freedom of lifestyle that we've chosen.

Look forward to meeting some of you fun people!

Kate and Jez xx

[funwithsome]

We're in Holloway Road London.

Heading over to Ealing eventually but happy to meet like-minded people! ;-)

[WowIndescribable]

Hi guys,

Let it be known that we have a thriving poly community over here in Ireland. Anyone traveling is welcome to come to our meetings (once/month) or contact me or anyone else to meet for a coffee, a hike or whatever.

Everyone is welcome. In fact, please join up anyway and participate on our discussion board. We have a number of people from out of the country who contribute and it just enriches us all.

Peace & Love,

Hi - my name's Dave I am in an open relationship with a guy, we celebrate 10 years this year. I have had a few casual sexual encounters with women over the last decade but I feel that I need more than just a brief encounter. I am bisexual, my partner understands but I can't seem to meet a woman that will understand that I am in a "Gay" relationship. I am wanting to meet a bi or straight woman for regular meets for fun, friendship and sex. Anyone out there? ( Ok not just anyone, someone that I am compatible with - see my profile) Leeds, UK.

[freddiedalladay]

I'm in the UK, specifically Kent. Anyone else around this area?

[theladydoes]

Hi all. Couple in Shropshire looking for F. Not really sure where else to look. craigslist is...horrible. Really looking for a friend who wants to come to bed more than the kind of anonymous fuck most of the internet seems to be interested in. If there are any ladies about interested in saying hi...well, give us a shout ;)

[FredBurkle]

Just to say hello, I'm not poly myself but I'm in a poly relationship and we're from Guildford. :D

[Gammon]

Hi all, 26yr old Bristolian male here. Seems very little interest in the south west when it comes to this, anyone know of any meet-ups closer than London would be much appreciated. I'm new to the whole prospect of becoming poly so would like to mingle and get to know people from around my surrounding area with a similar insight into the wierd and wonderous world of polyamorous people.

Kind regards

[FredBurkle]

I know there are a few poly people around the Bristol area, I don't know if they have any meet ups though... you might want to check out: http://polytical.org/

I think a few of them help run it the website.

There's tons in Bristol. I think there was an event not long ago too. As in, a few days ago. The link above is certainly a good one.

[faraway7]

seems like its mostly people in their 20s 30s that have this kind of relationship?? well from the profiles ive looked at. and is there a forum like this that have more UKers on it?

[trueRiver]

seems like its mostly people in their 20s 30s that have this kind of relationship?? well from the profiles ive looked at.

There are more in that age range than any other, yes. But it is not exclusive, I for example am 56 (in 2011 when this was posted).

and is there a forum like this that have more UKers on it?

Not that I know, but there is an email list. See http://bi.org/uk-poly/ for how to sign up. It is not a dating forum, though, more a place to discuss being poly.

There is a bit of a delay as there is a screening process, but do not let that put you off. If you give a reason you are interested in poly and a connection with the UK that should be enough.

Many poly people in the UK use the OKCupid dating site for that, as it allows you to say you are poly and explain just what you mean in your personal profile. See http://www.okcupid.com/about/okcupid or the wikipedia write up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OkCupid

Good luck

Actually, I feel most the people on this site are between 30 and 55 and the majority are Canadian and US citizens. But I definitely feel that in the UK, it certainly seems to be a lower average.

[MissMandolin]

Another checking in for London! I'll be living in Chelsea this year. Anyone know of any good meetups or groups around that area?

Hey, as you may have seen in my meek little post i'm a Derby gal. I was wondering if any others in the Derby/Nottingham kind of region fancied organising a friendly little meet up? Umm... I think the probably sums it up.

Hi All
New on here, and in Leatherhead, Surrey, UK

(just up the road from you, Fred!)

[Pheline]

Lot's of greetings to everyone in the u.k. We are totally new to the poly scene and only dipping our feet in to find out more to be honest. We have been swingers for years so have enjoyed sexual entcounters with others many times and still enjoy it but wonder if there is more exploration about relationships and how they can be enjoyed. That's how we found the Polyamory. com and now we are here and enjoy the forum and broadening our horion.

[3quarks]

Would love to hear from any London folk!

It's a big city but doesn't mean it's always easy to meet people

[DredlockScarlet]

I live in London =D I've been searching for a thread that could lead me to find others in London and the Uk...Not as easy as it seems haha. How're you you?

[Pheline]

Well there is the london poly group. Google Meetups and search for polymory

[Pheline]

Shame that nothing has as yet materialised in regards to a poly meet up. Any ideas how that could be arranged???? Anyone interested apart from us anyway lol ?

[bassman]

Well, seems like I'm the only one down here in Surrey :-(

I'll have meet by myself for a laugh, shall I ?:D

[Pheline]

Well Mr Bassman,

a conversation/meet with yourself has got lots of advantages lol...
1. you like what you got to say
2. can decide all of the topics
3. hopefully would be kind and understanding
4. you can win an argument
5. can talk all of the time


:) :)

Unfortunately, not many people on the site about England. Those who are, still being miles apart most the time. Hard even geting a meetup sorted up here in Leeds. =P

[Pheline]

Yeah that is a real shame....:confused:

[MaksimStivens]

Personally, I would expect from all this a little bit more

[Pheline]

Such as??? Any suggestions?

[Dee616]

Hi there *waves enthusiastically*.

My husband and I are in South Yorkshire, Doncaster to be exact.

We'd love to hear from anyone in the north who can help us realise our fantasies of becoming poly.

There are slim pickings around here it would seem.

Many men seem happy to borrow me, or lend me to their wife, but no action for poor hubby :(.

We are coming up against the '2 girls are good, 2 boys are BAD' attitude again and again. And of course the wonderful hypocrisy that is, 'I (man) can sleep with other women, she can sleep with other women (for MY titilation), but she's not shagging other men, oh no, and I'm not touching another man, eurgh!'

It's becoming incredibly frustrating!

[Pheline]

Hi all here is a link for the Nottingham Poly meetup group if anyone is interested...

http://www.meetup.com/Nottingham-Polyamory-Meetup/

[Pheline]

Me???? or who???

[Somegeezer]

Me???? or who???
Just spam, I believe.

[Pheline]

Oh I do like a bit of spam but mainly on a sandwich :)

[Fobwatch]

Is anyone aware of any poly groups or poly friendly groups social or otherwise in the Wales & West area?
