For each their own; I’m not judging. I didn’t know that was a common belief here. I can see how it makes sense for certain people’s lifestyle choices. I just don’t see the connection to rationality.
I think a part of the reason is that most people would never even consider a polyamorous relationship, whereas it might for quite a lot of people be a better option than the alternatives. If this is true then being in a polyamorous relationship is a strong indicator of actually considering alternatives and embracing the truth when stumbling upon it.
Having said all that I think it is not one of the central activities related to LW, the implication mentioned above is valid only so long as people don’t make a habit out of trying (radically) different sorts of romance.
