I am interested, are you polyamorous or polygamous? I am the former, but I'm yet to actually try it out. Rationally, I can't see anything else being better though. Do you feel uneasy at all? How have people reacted to this? This isn't really a mainstream topic, and as a result, whenever I've introduced the topic to a bunch of monos, they seem to larf it off as incomprehensible. It goes without saying that they're ignorant of the entire topic, but I'd be interested to hear your experiences.
How was your experience at KCL? I am thinking about doing my master's at kcl, ucl or lse - do you have any suggestions/recommendations? I will be doing sociology, or anthropology, so perhaps LSE is the best because of its focus on social sciences?
polyamorous. I'm not really a huge fan of traditional marriage/family units. Think they've evolved this way for the cohesion and stability of (past) society, but that doesn't make it the best for participants, or most ethical, or even best for social stability in the present day where globalisation had changed the nature of communication and interaction.
I'm (often) pretty decisive with speaking my opinions and I think people have usually avoided speaking their opinions to me when they do have negative ones. I don't get much to my face, but I can't tell how many of them are open minded or just not confrontational. A lot of my friends outside poker are poly themselves or familiar with it and there's not much problem there. I think most people are conditioned to react to it negatively and make assumptions. That's just how it is. People who know me well tend to know I'm not really a "playa" or whatever, and that I don't fall into the stereotype where open relationship is just another word for sleeping around. That said I think even if a person did, they'd be doing nothing wrong, so I guess I'm just lucky I don't get as much of that as a more social or promiscuous person might.
The few discussions with people about this who find it incomprehensible tend to be really stupid, they're all capable of understanding it but seem to just not try.
Unfortunately I never ended up going to King's. I think I'll go back to studying in 3-5 years once I'm nationalised and poker is a smaller part of my life, and I've got other businesses running. I've made some headway with getting started in le fashion biz so hopeful in a few years that'll lift off.
Going to make another update (with photos! <3) when I'm back in the UK as I'm visiting family in HK right now.
