I've gotten lucky with this. All the people I've know who were Vegan would smack someone if they went on a rant about it.

You just need to avoid the "fad diet" vegans and you are usually fine. Every vegan I know will go to bbqs, hang out, do whatever.

This statement is so ridiculous and hysterical at the same time. Oh all the vegans you know try to act like normal human beings? Hahaha.

Nothing worse than vegans. Weeaboos are a close second

Welcome to the future.

THANKS OBAMA

Ok are open/poly relationships really this common? Have met three couples locally that profess to be open/poly, right in front of each other. Both the wife and husband were joking about the last lame hookup they had. I thought the whole "i have an open relationship" thing was just code for "I've decided to cheat on my wife and this is what I tell people."

Well, I don't think they are based on the incredulous looks I get when I talk about it from nearly everyone. Really depends on where you live, in TX I'm assuming it's very rare outside of anywhere but Austin.

But someone deciding it's time to cheat and telling people they are in an open relationship seems like a good way to immediately get caught. Ya know, since people talk and that's the kind of story everyone wants to share. "Guess who's in an open relationship" "Wait what? That's not what his wife says!"

I never dated people into politics, I hear it enough at family gatherings already to not want to debate it with my partner.

I dated a girl for a while who was basically the opposite of me politically and it was pretty annoying. Luckily my current wife and I see eye to eye on a majority of issues.

The greatest story of an open relationship was the guy who posted on reddit that he casually signed up for a hookups-only online dating site and was getting a ton of flirting. So he convinced his girlfriend eventually to enter an open relationship. Fast forward all these girls on the site just wanted attention and would turn cold when he suggested they meet in real life and his girlfriend is fucking every guy that walks and he can't get anyone to sleep with him to save his life.

So interesting story bros.

I touched on it briefly already but I've been dating a woman who has completely different political views from me and acts like she is very resolute in her beliefs. We have only been "dating" for a week and a half and Friday night was our 3rd date, this is important information for later in the story. On that date I brought up the open relationship thing and based on her reaction and tone I figured "Welp, that's the end of that". She is not on board to say the least. I was fairly certain the date was going to end right there but we kept talking, had a few more drinks and even ended staying out until like 3 AM. Surprising considering we've already had a conversation about politics in which we clearly did not agree and now this to add on to that.

Saturday I was out at friend's place hanging by the pool and playing backyard lawn games and invited her to come up. She did and we had a good time and again disagreed on some things (these disagreements have always been very cordial, no insults being flung just civil disagreement) and she brought up the open relationship thing again and again I thought that we would end up going our separate ways. We partied until like 3 AM again and ended up in my friends' spare bedroom and after a little more fun she dropped the "I think I've fallen in love with you". I thought she was joking so I laughed and said "Don't say shit like that" and she just said "No, it's true, it's not a big deal". I stated the obvious about us barely knowing each other and clearly having different opinions on many important things and she objected again and I just went to sleep cuz it was late. We were both drunk but not drunk enough that she was incoherent and just rambling.

Well do you love her too Khane?

Is she a nurse or teacher? On one hand, if she really does love you then you can probably get away with pushing the open relationship on her-- at least in the short term. On the other hand, she's obviously crazy and when she snaps because she can't handle the jealousy anymore you're likely to end up with a dead pet or knife in your back.

She's a corporate strategist for Aetna.

You're interesting, challenging. She thinks she can change you. It might work long time. Mrs. Izo still thinks this after 20 years. So....put it in the butt.

Well, she's an earner at least.. You going to go for it or is your crazy-dar firing? She sounds normal except for the 3rd date love bomb being dropped.

I'll ride it out. It's not like I have anything to lose, except maybe everything when she gets pregnant on "accident" or something. I've been raw dogging it since the first date so not very smart and since she already dropped the love bomb it should be fun telling her we should start using condoms. I can't really see anything bad happening here.
