Mark in Ark

Hey Mark,
Welcome to our forum.

Re:

"Where does one find like-minded people in a local area -- or perhaps not more than two hundred miles away?"

All I can suggest is for you to look around on the following links:

http://www.pof.com/
http://www.okcupid.com/
http://polyamory.meetup.com/
http://www.polymatchmaker.com/
http://polyevents.blogspot.com/#localgroups

Arkansas seems to be a sparse state in terms of an organized group that gets together. But you can also look for individuals on OKCupid. Try also doing a search for "Arkansas" on this site.

I've been to Seattle and greatly enjoyed my stay. I know they have a strong polyamorous presence there. I imagine they do in Vancouver, too.

Good luck in your search, and thanks for joining us.
Sincerely,
Kevin T.

Thanks to all of you on your replies. I did sign up on OKCupid. Have started a nice conversation with a transsexual woman. I imagine the Bible belt to be an even more hostile place for those who are trans. I have no idea if this will go anywhere, or not, but I'm willing to see where it might take me.
G'night all. I have to get up to go to work in about 5 hours. Yuck. But I will probably be fired today, so it might be the last time of waking before the sun. It this does happen, I have vowed to myself to never work for someone else again. I'll dive 100.52% into my writing and getting that whole thing off of the ground.
Mark
