It’s the second time when I mention my poly inclinations, outside of the poly-community, that a woman replies that all men are/want to be poly. And I only mentioned it to three people. One said:

All men are poly and all the woman who say they are poly are lying.

The other said, after I said that I wanted to explore my poly side:

Yeah, like all men

It seems they are forgetting that poly isn’t fucking around. It’s also allowing to fuck around. That is, it’s not only about getting freedom, but giving freedom. I don’t see men having an easier time giving freedom than women, but maybe I’m wrong.

The third person probably didn’t react this way because I said something very abstract:

Maybe I don’t want relationships to be exclusive
