Do attractive men actually have it *easier* in ENM/poly than attractive women?
Post Body

Iā€™m curious your guys thoughts on this.

Iā€™m a 29F and have been poly/ENM for almost a decade. Iā€™m not dating in a ā€œPortlandā€ or place where every other person is poly - that being said, my location still has a sizable amount of ENM/poly folks.

Iā€™m very analytical and something Iā€™ve noticed - Every time Iā€™ve met a very attractive ENM man, heā€™s always been knee-deep in options/opportunities and had multiple serious partners if he wanted them.

(When I say attractive, I am including good looks in here. But also being social/charismatic, having hobbies, good emotional intelligence, decent communication, sexual skills, etcā€¦)

The same I havenā€™t noticed with ENM women. Iā€™m bi, and I go to a local poly meetup in my city and also have had numerous dates throughout the years with ENM women. I also have many attractive poly female friends. Some of them definitely were saturated, but many of them werenā€™t.

Many of them were still looking for quality connections, and some of them really struggled finding a primary partner (if they wanted one).

Iā€™m solo-poly and donā€™t want a nesting partner, but I would like a serious long-term partner or 2. Iā€™d like to meet 1-2 times a week and text periodically throughout the week.

Basically, every poly guy Iā€™ve been highly attracted to over the years has been too saturated for that kind of connection. They already have multiple partners, and if I want to be theirs I have to fit in their super-limited schedule. Itā€™s very discouraging.

Iā€™m into women as well, so Iā€™ve focused more energy on that. But I miss having a romantic connection with a man.

Is there simply just more attractive women in poly/ENM than men? Iā€™m not trying to be rude, Iā€™m just curious why it seems this way.
