Some hypocritical liars are about to find out what their partners think about
their stated sexual preferences and their "private" messages to strangers ...

I'm not single, but my girlfriend knows I'm dating other people. I'm not hiding anything from her. She's also dating other people. (Why? It's a question I get a lot so I'll answer before it's asked. She's homoflexible. I'm kinky. She's vanilla. I'm not a member of her primary sexual-orientation. I'm gender-queer. She's not. We both have needs that need to be met outside of our primary relationship to each other. We both enjoy group fun. Because this is what we decided together that we want out of this relationship.)

Since we're both adult children of politically-connected and powerful families...would it be an embarrassment and scandal if our agreed-upon non-monogamy were made public?

Yes. It would.

It seems to annoy quite a few people here that some folk are objectively better-looking than others.

Ain't no chance that even 20% of those profiles remotely resemble reality, and the rest contain at least a few falsifications.
