Poly that is found is sought out. The ideology of poly precedes the multi partner connections.
One occurs unconsciously without effort, the other is a conscious effort.
But I'm not poly so what do I know  |
Yeah, that pretty much agrees with what I'm saying. I am type B, most everyone else here seems to be type A.
The most likely reason for the rarity of the B types is because society considers it "wrong", so it never occurs to most people. It occurs to the type A people because they have a
need for it. If the stigma ever went away, there could be a lot more B types. People could go into the dating scene with the
intent to be poly. Which is exactly what the DPG is. Forming multiple relationships simply because you
want to be polyamorous.
