So a while back, I suggested to my wife that we open up our relationship. We were having issues, and I couldn't find a way to solve them in the situation we were in, and after a friend suggested it I felt it would help out. After a bit of convincing, she accepted and we opened our relationship up, with a couple of rules (mostly obvious stuff and quality of life rules).
While it hasn't been perfect, it has definitely helped our relationship, and my wife has been flourishing, finding plenty of people interested in her in more ways than one, and I'm extremely happy for her.
However, I've been struggling to find anyone who is even remotely interested in me. I'm not really looking for sexual interactions, though it would be nice. I'm not the most attractive person by any means, so I don't expect things to be east, but does anyone have advice on finding interested parties while in an open relationship?
