So I should say that "in my current mindset, I don't believe I can exclusive to 1 woman; this may change in the future"

Or... I can meet a woman who satisfies me both emotionally and sexually... then I'll probably be good; as I have yet to find such a woman...

once a cheater, always one

Hey hey who said anything about cheating...?

My gf and I have an open relationship for the past year +
I remember asking about it on here a while back too

and my other girl I'm with a lot, we're dating
And I made it a motion to her when we started and have made it clear throughout our 1 year of dating that she is allowed to see other people (while obviously same being allowed for me)

Yes she doesn't know about my other girl, but she also never asked :P

So, being technical, I have never cheated

So I guess your statement doesn't apply to me

To have the mentality to have an open relationship, means you will never have a successful closed relationship. You will always want something more, when temptation occurs you wont think twice. By all means you have the right to have an open relationship, especially when you are up front about it. Personally, I dont see why you would ever want a serious closed one in the future, because I promise it wont last forever, because you will get tired of it. More so than most people today, because of the past.

I don't disagree with you

That's why I specifically mentioned that I will probably never have a completely faithful relationship

Though it may change in 10 years, who knows

But you're right, if I'm on a business trip and have a chance with a sexy woman, knowing myself, will think twice, maybe 3 times about it, but I'll still do it.

Ignorance is bliss.

For all I know, my gf/wife/etc may be doing the same thing.

As my brother told me when I was 16
"Cheat before you are cheated on"

I know it's pretty pessimistic way to look at things.

Either way, you kind of got it right.
Being in an open relationship has really opened up my mind and views, especially sexually.

My gf's boss is a Sex Therapist (or Doctor, however you want to look at it) and she says 3 things usually happen to people in open relationships (Well 3 most common)
1) It fails and one partner just can't do it and they break up; and the one who couldn't do it goes to a monogamous relationship, while the other partner usually goes and explores his/herself.
2) It works beautifully and the couple have a great polygamous relationship (be it for a couple years/life)
3) It works for a while (weeks/months, maybe even years) until one partner decides s/he doesn't want to do it anymore. Then they break up and each partner goes onto her/his own path.

Obviously every situation is unique.

This is OT, but we took this OT thread off topic lol

I think we should make a relationship discussion thread. There is way too much to be said on this topic.

I think a relationship sub forum would be better, up there with Video/PC and Lighter Side

i dunno. All 3 would be a depreciative matter. Car will depreciate off the lot. The women would be spending your money and with age tends to depreciate in looks. A man... ok im not gay.

Anyform of an E92 whether it be a m3 or a 328i will satisfy you at the age of 17. Maybe when i hit my mid twenties i can be as cool as you guys.

Actually, once you've driven something faster, it's a pain to drive something slower unless the handling is significantly better

But yeah, at the age of 17, any BMW would be great.

I remember when we had 325s and C230s back in High school.
and envied all the people with m3s lol
but the smaller engines were still fun to drive

Wow! I left this thread alone for a few days and BAM! Waaay off topic(which is the point I guess)! Having just found an incredible woman after a long time of not, I say women. You can always go buy a great car.
