Now back to your regularly scheduled program...
great so dont hate. the person that lives next door to me in vegas is a VIP host at a strip hotel.

You would not believe the stories he tells. maybe this sort of exposure has jaded me.

now that should be made into a movie.

Apparently, nobody here does it so you may need to go to another message board. If you let your partner have other relationships as well more people would probably be 'okay' with it. As it stands, you're very selfish and most people here aren't going to give you advice on how to essentially cheat on your SO.
Maybe, it depends on what one values.

most everyone will compromise if the reward is high enough.

it's easy to speak when not confronted with realities.

and it's not cheating....please read what i write....I want it to be accepted as part of my relationship.

There are certain things I won't compromise on. I'd rather be alone than share my partner with other people.

Unless you are allowing your partner to be with other people, I will consider it cheating.

So what is her reward? You said that money was not all you have to offer. What else do you have to offer? Because as it stands- why would someone consent to this type of relationship?

Thanks - and it's true, too!

No matter where you wake up every day, or who you wake up with - you always wake up with yourself. It's helpful to make sure you're good company, because when you're alone with yourself, bad company can really be hell.

I sure am glad my husband and I fall into that category.

But please - carry on. You certainly weren't expecting loads of approval or affirmations of your lifestyle choices here, were you?


some people do and some people don't. I don't seek approval. only god grants this in any meaningful way.

some women live in a polygamous BDSM house...where there is one dom male and multiple submissiveness partners.

now that's weird. who voluntarily enslaves themself...but 1000s of these homes exist....lotta freaks in this world.

my point is that what you consider normal others do not. what you consider respectful others do not.

you say you have traveled...you should know this.

What does traveling have to do with anything? I've travelled a lot, too. I like to sample the local cuisine - not visit the local alternative sex houses.
And once again - if you know of all these people that engage in the sort of relationship you are looking for - why don't you ask them to introduce you to someone who would be willing to be monogamous to you while you have your fun with whomever you please? Because there is no way that you could induce me into that type of lifestyle no matter how you try to sell it.

You see, you will play ball

It's not that I am that special. I am not. As good as you think you are there are lots of people that are better than you...or rather have more to offer, are wittier, are better looking, etc.

but even so, what is this? to me interesting is being at the center of the action to you it may mean being the best book keeper in mobile alabama.

Honestly, I think it happens a lot but that women look the other way. I know this to be the case...the more desirable a man is the more likely he will succumb to temptation.

Hah, when I was a E-2 in the navy ten or so years ago I would have never envisioned I can do what i do now. I never "cheated." I was so happy to have a woman even give me the time of day..but now, I am at the point where if a girl wont engage in a menage a trois I will just delete her number and find someone who will...

dont get me wrong, i am nice and polite to women, I wine and dine them and show them a good time. i don't lead them on and take them on really fun dates but i want what i want and if you can't provide it i will find someone who will.

What i have found is that women in big cities who are artistically inclined are more open to these types of relationships than not .,..i also see it in attractive women who grew up disadvantaged but now live comfortably and don't want to be poor again...in power couples where their achievements are much greater than themselves...in academics who see social confines as the oppressive tools that they are...I also see it in straight up gold diggers.

I remember my mom asked me why I went back to Iraq after I showed her our security detail's dash cam of when we were attacked--it happened a lot back then...she looked at me almost pitifully and I looked at the dump she lived and her dead end job that tried to fire her when she got sick after 27 years in the same position and basically said that I would rather live in tent on a FOB in baquba and take daily mortar fire and get attacked when I left the base rather than go back to Wisconsin and work at the factory or whatever nonsense she was telling me to do.

People are motivated by different things. The funny thing is, what makes you successful can also cause you personal pain.

That being said, I live the way I do and am quite happy doing so. wont stop anytime soon.

I'm a musical theatre performer. I lived in NYC for 12 years. Many of my friends are performers, models, actors, etc. I still do not know of anyone that would agree to your arrangement. If money is important - they can find money with someone who won't fool around with other people.
