Polygamy?

[Cyclopathic]

Oh dear, thats very sad. MY OH's brother is exactly the same, says he done with love, sex & relationships.

As someone who found the love of my life post divorce, I say "never give up hope"!

No, not in this programme. And they all seemed to have voluminous amounts of children too.

It seems that when polygamy is mentioned it's always just blokes having multiple female partners.

Does this look exactly like the adverts on CC before you log in?

I never log out! (Actually, I cleared my cookies a while back and spotted those ads before I logged back in.)

Would not living in Hebden Bridge improve your chances?..............

I have no idea what percentage of the women in Hebden Bridge are straight or not. Many are not, but most of my straight male friends still managed to find partners.

I calculated once that there are only about 250 women in this town within +/- 5 years of my age. Let's say that 90% of them are heterosexual - that equates to about 225 women. At our age, I would guess that at least 2/3 are in relationships at any one time, so that leaves 75 straight, single women of about my age.

Ah - smoking ... must be a non-smoker. Roughly 25% of women smoke, so that's another 20 crossed off the list, leaving about 55.

So, without going outside the town I would have about 55 women to choose from.

I wouldn't want to be with a Hebden Bridge hippy chick, and I also wouldn't want to be with a stressed out middle class commuter, so that's probably another 25 women crossed off the list.

That leaves a pool of about 30.

Oh, and must be sporty. Preferably vegetarian. Preferably non-Conservative ...

So, I am probably down to a shortlist of 15-20 women.

Then we have to raise the questions of compatibility, mutual attraction, and actually meeting in the first place ...

I GIVE UP!

Fat kids?

No they weren't fat, they could barely afford to eat!

You've put a bit of thought into this, haven't you? Also, sexualty isn't concrete, don't dismiss the lesbians out of hand.

How far are you prepared totravel for love? I'm sure I could match you up, you're a handsome chap and very nice too I' sure. Plus, you've proved you've got stamina with all those 100 mile long bike rides, us ladies like that sort of thing

Well, that is the definition of the word.

Women with multiple partners is Polyandry.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Many of my colleagues are polygamous.
Many of my colleagues are feminists.
I find to best not to put the two sets of colleagues in close proximity to one another at conferences.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Are you sure you meant what it looks like you said there?

It's threads like these that left me wondering whether clearing ones cookies was some kind of euphemism.

 

[ColinJ]

You've put a bit of thought into this, haven't you?

It's the way my mind works!

Also, sexualty isn't concrete, don't dismiss the lesbians out of hand.

You have just given me an awful flashback!

I think I will stick to ignoring women who prefer men, rather than pursuing women who prefer women!

How far are you prepared to travel for love?

As far as my door, but to be on the safe side, I would not open it!

I'm sure I could match you up, you're a handsome chap and very nice too I' sure.

Sweet of you to say so, but I'm on a sabbatical until my health and wealth problems are sorted out, and by then I will be too old to bother anyway.

Plus, you've proved you've got stamina with all those 100 mile long bike rides, us ladies like that sort of thing

Oh, forum rides - now you are talking; I don't mind chatting to** women on forum rides! Not that many women come on them. I think the one coming up at the end of March will be a record breaker in both the total number of riders and the number of women taking part. **NB 'chatting to' not 'chatting up'!

TBH - I still see my ex 4 or 5 times a week as 'just good friends' and I know that any new partner would not be happy with that continuing. We have been pals for 35 years and I am not prepared to give up on the friendship to try and start from scratch with someone else. It could happen one day but I am not going to go out and try to make it happen.

Polygamy....?

I seriously doubt I could find more than one woman stupid enough.......

If you go round calling your present wife stupid on the internet you might soon be down to zero.

 

[Arch]

Well no actually - it means multiple spouses. Men with multiple wives is polygyny. I don't know if there's a separate word for women who have multiple female spouses - which might be what Cyclopathic had in mind?

Ah, thanks.

I am sure you are right!

 

[steve52]

i think this could work for me, i alraedy have multiple bikes, and tbh id try multiple wives or be one of multiple hubbys,, would mean more income for carbon, and less work so more time to ride. i really cant see a downside?

Although I call her Mrs CP, I'm not married......

 

[Andrew_Culture]

Although I call her Mrs CP, I'm not married......

Reminds of an incident in a put round these parts - a punter at a gig was MOST unhappy about the way he felt he'd been wronged by the female part of the landlord partnership. He cornered the male landlord and ripped into him for what seemed like forever, the landlord only calling time on it when the punter started railing against his wife. OI, he said, OI, She's NOT my wife.

Ah, she's not that stupid then.
