What we’re about

**PLEASE READ ALL THE FOLLOWING INFO BELOW CAREFULLY BEFORE APPLYING TO JOIN THIS MEETUP:
POLYAMORY: Having multiple honest, loving, intimate relationships with the full knowledge and consent of everyone involved. This group is for LOCAL polyamorists of all ages, races, genders, sexual orientations, and/or relationship statuses; who live in the Raleigh, Durham, & Chapel Hill ("Triangle") metro region!
Polyamory means "Many Loves". Many people have both the capacity & the need to love more than one partner, and be able to sustain loving relationships with more than one.  Polyamory & Ethical Non-monogamy are based on the understanding that love is infinite. Open, honest communication between partners is the key to successful loving polyamorous relationships.
We are interested in building a safe community here in the Triangle, having many fun social events all over the region---bringing together NC Polyamorists from Wake, Durham, Orange, Chatham, Johnston & surrounding Counties!  We're a community of welcoming people who accept each other and provide a safe space to be openly polyamorous and/or nonmonogamous.  This is why when joining, we require prospective members to please completely answer a brief questionnaire to ensure they are serious about getting acquainted with the poly community and learning about polyamory---but are not using the group for "hooking up", nor as a "Personals Site", or other inappropriate reasons!  (Don't worry--our membership rolls & member profiles can NOT be seen by people outside our group.)

**Note:  This meetup is for Local people who are Polyamorous. Those who actually identify as Polyamorous but with no prior personal experience yet in Polyamory & Ethical Non-monogamy, and sincerely want to expand their horizons & learn more about these options, may apply to join. *HOWEVER: we require that you have at least first made the effort to research the subject and become at least somewhat knowledgeable & educated about the Basic Concepts of Polyamory, and have a complete respect towards these (and other) alternative lifestyles before joining. (If you have questions, just ask!)  We have posted on our pages some great Links & Resources to learn more---please take some time and get acquainted with this vital info before applying to join!
