I would say that the majority of the people I've gone out with have been monogamous, or at least not explicitly poly. Most have been single. Very few have been in already established relationships.

I've found that being soly poly, more so than any other flavor of monogamy polyamory, seems to be particularly well suited for dating people who are not polyamorous. And it's not just because being unmarried and living on your own makes you a better dating prospect for more people.

At least in the major cities there are quite a few people who are not looking to get married, have kids or even move in together with a partner, and whether their partner has other partners isn't a huge concern for them. It seems that monogamy vs. nonmonogamy isn't a crucial dealbreaker-level issue for many of these people, and it's actually more fluid than that. Which I thought was an interesting discovery.

What experiences, good or bad, have you had when connecting with people who are not (usually) polyamorous?
