    From what I’ve seen the gay community is full of ‘friends with benefits’. Seems pretty great. Sometimes I resent being straight, where monogomy is basically the only option, and any attempt to break out of it would make me look like a creep.

      Hook up culture is very much a thing for straight people. Friends with benefits and booty calls are very normalized. I know several people who have lists of potential bang buddies. I knew of a few friend groups when i was younger where nearly every guy had slept with every girl in the group. If you dont want to be monogamous, just make that clear with potential partners. In my experience i actually struggle to get into monogamous relationships these days as many people don’t really want to commit to someone.

        Maybe it’s a location/age thing, but I missed out on all that. I always made it clear up front what I wanted, and they’d often indicate they’re on board initially - until things got serious or an opportunity actually presented itself, then the insecurities came out and suddenly it’s all “Am I not enough for you!?”

        In the latest case she really had me convinced, even though an opportunity never arose to put it to the test. Told me she was bi, said she wanted to see me with other women, said she was cool with an open marriage - everything I wanted to hear. It was only after marriage & kids that it became apparent she was NOT actually ok with it.

        Funny that you’re having the opposite problem. Grass is always greener…

        It’s a thing but you have waaay more opportunities if you’re a gay man, at least if you’re somewhere with a decent population on Grindr!

        I’m happily married for nearly 20 years now. But, before then, there were definitely a few fwb. Some were infrequent, others near constant depending on where we were partying at.

      Eh, it’s easy to avoid girls even when your straight. Just work in STEM and spend all your money on a place so you can workout and cook at home. It’s super easy to avoid any contact if you really stick to it.

      /s if I wasn’t clear.

        You joke but as an overworked trades guy who recently bought a fixer upper house and trying to gainweight/muscle mass this is actually my life.

        Most of my time not at work is spent repairing something at home, doing chores, working out, or cooking. Usually multitasking them like doing the dishes while resting between sets.

      I mean, you can be poly.

      I just have never met anyone that seems happy in those relationships. I’m sure they exist somewhere but most of my friends are miserable and pretty single despite their openness.

        Ive been in an extremely successful poly relationship for multiple years now. Almost 6 years with one partner and a little more than 3 with the other.

        Its definitely possible to be successful and happy in polyamory… its just a lot of work for everyone involved.

        One of my best friends is poly and going on a 10 year marriage. I consider myself poly but haven’t made it work. I think it really comes down to who you date and now comfortable they are with not being monogamous.

        I think some people get it right away and then it doesn’t become a relationship or they don’t and if doesn’t become a relationship. But I have met many people that fit the stereotype that “poly” doesn’t work. There were always other problems that made it not work. Like drugs or criminal cases.

      Yeah, it’s quite nice. My ex and I were/are open, and it was fun. My master is basically asexual (and I’m the absolute opposite), so he has let me play with anyone I have asked about. A local cutie I play with occasionally has a gf, and they are also open.

      Though I haven’t played around outside of the furry community in a decade, and haven’t dated outside it since… Nearly 20 years. So my pool of potential partners is relatively very small, but (I think, at least) they are wonderful, so =)

      any attempt to break out of it would make me look like a creep.

      This depends.

      If you’re attempting to convince someone who wants a monogamous relationship to have an open one or be poly then yes that is not only creepy, but outright abusive.

      There are people out there for you. Go find them, but please don’t bother someone who doesn’t want that type of arrangement.

        She initially told me she was ok with it, then changed her mind when the opportunities arose. Now I’m torn between my own selfish desires and the life we’ve built together.

      Oh yes. It’s our 13th anniversary, and we had a fight yesterday, so I was forced into “serious conversation” today, so I fucked off into the night for a breather. I don’t need any of that bullshit, but it comes with the whole package.

    Damn. What did OP do to get banned from shit posting of all things?

    As a fairly new Lemmy user, it’s a bit creepy how often I see seemingly normal posts made in the last few hours along with that big red “Banned from community” tag. Starting to feel like there are just snipers on the rooftops waiting to off people who happen to walk by.

    source
    • HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      The good news is on Lemmy you can check to see what the moderators allege they did wrong, assuming they didn’t write “None” like some of the garbage tier moderators do.

      In this case, they allege some of this user’s posts were racist.

      source
      • Abyssian@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        So their post “Cueta, Spain right now” was deleted and they were banned for it being racist. I tried to search for whatever the image was in case they’d reposted with an existing title and didn’t find anything… other than learning apparently the situation in Ceuta is completely insane.

        I hadn’t heard that news. I had no idea Spain controlled that tiny bit of land at the tip Africa beside Morocco.

        But much as the situation is awful and doesn’t seem like a super tasteful topic for a shit post, without seeing whatever it was I can’t see how it could be racist. Looking in to Ceuta you can see it has a crazy history, it’s been part of Spain for like 400 years, and the inhabitants are a mix of people from many places over time, with the bulk of them being much closer to Morrocan than Spanish.

        The whole situation is shit, but I don’t see how you could term the folk from one side of a border crossing en masse and loads of violence and death as “racist.”

      7 separate posts to the community within an hour of each other, shit posting or not that’s spammy/ rep farming behavior and deserves some kind of mod action. Banned doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a perm ban.

      source
      • Remy@lemmy.today ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Is there rep farming on lemmy?

        I thought that Karma or total up/down vote accounts are not a thing here?

        source
      • Abyssian@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Rep farming? How? I’m new to Lemmy but there doesn’t seem to be any sort of user rating or score. Up/down votes on posts or comments don’t seem to effect anything other than that specific post or comment.

        There seem to be very few people working hard to support Lemmy communities by making new posts for others to interact with. Looking back through the last 24 hours this community only has 40 posts including OPs. That’s under 2 posts per hour. On a day when OP made 7 whole posts. And this is one of the fastest moving communities on Lemmy.

        That’s not good. That’s one of the reasons main a lot of people who do try Lemmy don’t stick around. I can see messaging a user to have a conversation if they start posting a lot to the community, maybe saying to space things out a bit, but not any sort of banning.

      the user did post a whole lot of … icky content in the past (just generally bad takes about things, some unhinged things about religion, some “we’re better than them” posts). i’ve seen them a couple of times. username “grumpy” checks out

      source
      • Abyssian@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        I don’t really see anything like that, and pretty much all their moderation history was them posting something that had been posted recently. Unless you mean there were other accounts that has grumpy in the name and you think they’re the same person?

        Not sure what access instance admins have here, but maybe one of them could check and see if this OP and older “grumpy” banned accounts could be tied together via IP, email, or browser/device fingerprinting. But given the very little amount of moderation over so very many posts is anything other than it being a recent repost, I wouldn’t assume a person with former banned accounts.

        It’s funny that after your anti-women rant you ack that men have the same problem then go right back to bashing women after those 4 words.

        Maybe there’s a different reason instead of them being women. Maybe replace women with people and then realize that’s why we all suck.
