Probably good to note that there are plenty of women who choose a polyamorous lifestyle...its just not a male thing...
I'll preface this by saying that I'm sure there are some people that make this lifestyle work and find it satisfying. Since I'm pretty much of the opinion that whatever consenting adults want to do with each other is their own business, I'm not really here to condemn it or any other lifestyle.
In many cases I've seen, however, it is just a hipper way to tell a significant other that you're going to cheat on them. If a woman I was interested in told me she was polyamorous that could be code for "run away fast". Many of the self proclaimed 'polyamorous' people I've known were a) obsessed with sex to an unhealthy degree b) too immature to commit to a particular person, and in some cases a particular type or even gender of person or c) they're just plain nuts.
Again, this is just my experience--I'm not looking for crackbacks from any polyamorous types out there. If your lifestyle--this or any other--is the free choice of everyone involved and is something that you find to be fulfilling good for you...
