Poly, Weakly: Episode 378 (The truth hurts; are you listening, Mrs. The ex-Greydancer, hurts)


-I'm back.  Why do I keep doing this to myself.
-Wut, no LG?  Awww.
-So she tells us about a new poly site she'll link to on the blog and then says, "(I)f you have the iPhone, or Windows, or Amazon app, you'll be able to find it there as well."
 Jebus, lady, there are blind septuagenarian shut-ins with a better understanding of technology.  Next time, Minx, have Ted Stevens cover the goings on with series of tubes.
-I stand corrected.  She's tech savvy.  She explained that, "There's a plug-in for Chrome, so if you use the Chrome browser, there's a plug-in."  Got that?
-She rattled off the categories of relationships one can select on the OKCupid plug-in, including "communicative".  Why do I not think they have this as a relationship model?
-She's exchanged the Twitters with someone.  Again, having a hard time believing this.
-So she hasn't been on OKCupid because LG has been taking all her time, what with meeting up on most weekends.  There isn't a polyamorous bone in her body, is there?
-"I listed that I was looking for romantic relationships, which is actually not true."  Damn, you really had us going there, you cunning minx.
-People wrote in seeking advice from Minx, hopefully for the humor value rather than needing any actual guidance.  Otherwise the poly community would be full of really fucked
up people and their even more fucked up relationships.
-She offers "Q" some dating advice moments after admitting that she's really bad at dating.  While that's pretty crap, this episode is amazing for its honesty mixed with a dash
of bold-faced lies.
-Oh good, "Q" is looking for two bi guys to start a poly family with her and plans to write a user manual on how to do it, but she's also wants to know if Minx has any ideas
about how to do it.  Good Lord, this is the poly community in a nutshell.
-Minx tells "Q" not to be too picky and keep her options open.
-Oh damn, here's a little more shitting on Greydancer's ex-wife.  Nice to know that wound hasn't healed since we last visited (it was in the wedding vows).
-"I just didn't feel I was a good person to date because I was kinda getting knee jerky and paranoid about how the metamor was going to treat me"  That statement started out great;
too bad she felt the need to finish with a bullshit qualifier.  Well, back to stroking herself.
-She admits that she too was into bi guys but "but never managed to date one".  Pro tip, there's a lot you won't be able to check off your dating bucket list if your complete
dating history can be written in crayon on the back of a beer mat.
-"I had a little brain storm".  That term does not mean what you thinks it means, part 498.
-Something something, rambling about kink negotiation in creating scenes.  WTF? She's given up on answering this question.  Just as well.
-"I don't like feeling like I'm just a fuck...wham bam thank you man." Thank you, man?  Uh, is this her admitting that gender play is her secret kink?
-"I want to be able to receive attention and affection on a fairly regular basis."  Episode 378: surprisingly honest.
-So she had issues with single guys providing enough attention and affection to meet her needs and wonders if she was coming across as needy.  It's not that the jury's still out
on this one, it's that they've turned in their badges and gone home.
-Oh, she thinks single guys blowing her off was because she's poly, and therefore not supposed to desire affection.  Yep, people treated you like a clingy basket case because you're
poly. That fits.
-Another letter seeking advice.  What the fuck is wrong with you people?  Can't you get advice from that schizophrenic guy down at the Greyhound depot?  You know, the one with a
cigarette butt in his hair?  He'll offer advice and is strangely more grounded.  Just sayin'.
-Oh damn this is a train wreck relationship.  "R" is in a triad with a couple and she's yiffing with some other guy who has an 18 year old fuck toy.  Somehow, lack of maturity is
an issue here.
-Wait the other woman is like totally being a bitch, "R" is like nuh uh, but the she put it on her blog, and the girl is totally like oh no she didn't.  Ugh.
-Minx is concerned that really young partners may not have enough relationship experience to allow them to handle these situations.  Again, Minx said that.
-What about communication?  Did you try that?  Minx thinks that would help.
-Third reference to Mrs. The ex-Greydancer in this episode.  All water under bridge.  Water deep enough that a careless metamor could drown in, should she fall and hit her head, right?
-"Good advice, bad advice, I'm never sure."  I think that's a solid hint that it's the latter.
-She wants to "crowdsource" feedback.   That term does not mean what you thinks it means, part 499.  She meant to say "brain storm".
-And with that, I'm outta here.  I've got to go warn Greydancer that his ex-wife is in danger.
