Online dating behemoth OkCupid is adding a feature tailor-made for polyamorous people. The new setting, which became available for some beta users in December, allows users who are listed as “seeing someone,” “married,” or “in an open relationship” on the platform to link their profiles and search for other people to join their relationship. It will be rolled out to all users on Friday.

A screenshot of the new feature obtained by The Atlantic shows a stock photo of a sample user listed as “in an open relationship” with another, whose profile is linked below his.

The march to polygamy continues.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

The move comes in response to a rapid uptick in the number of OkCupid users interested in non-monogamous relationships.

So I wonder how OKCupid is going to spin the fact that its simply becoming yet another anonymous hookup site.

Why not? There is more biblical support for polygamy than homosexuality.

Here ya’ go.

[dfwgator]

Stupid cupid.

[refermech]

Sounds expensive!

[Bubba_Leroy]

What about people that really like sheep?

The site should also advertise - FREE chlamydia to first 500 customers!!

[Buckeye McFrog]

We are sorry, but you have already used-up your divine
allocation of four wives. Allahu Akhbar!

[mumblypeg]

I read it as poly aRmory.
Never mind!

The words on the t-shirt are in the way. ;-)

OKCupid is the website that cyberlynched Brandon Eich.

I'm into PolyaRmory.

I like weapons from different manufacturers.

[Lazamataz]

I hate you.

[driftdiver]

No, theres a lot of very promiscious women on there.

[1rudeboy]

I’m sorry, you were talking about your penis earlier.

[Lazamataz]

No, I was talking about my Johnson!

[anymouse]

Laz would say, “I’d hit that, and that, and that, and that ...” ;)
