"Looking for friends with benefits"
"LTR with couples, males, females"
"Not looking for one night stands"
These people are "Swingers", Polyamory was created to allow the MORE uptight and speritual people to recogncile in their own minds that they are swingers but don't want to mentally deal with "public label".
There are a few and far between profiles that are looking for the one night stand or gangbangs but not very many. My guess is 90% of swingers are looking for friends to explore with. Read profiles you will see exactly what I mean and that this is true.
Swingers are generally accepting of everyone and all sexualities where as the Poly people are not
I haven't whitnessed any "sneering" from swingers but I have seen a lot from the poly people. The swingers I know just think Poly is nothing more than swingers who don't accept who they are and can't deal with it mentally. Since swingers and Poly are the same exact thing.

I dont think I could disagree more with your post. I have been in both types of situations and you would be hard put to find a less uptight person than me. A poly relationship and a swinging lifestyle are two different things, each with their own advantages/disadvantages.
I think maybe you're talking to the wrong people
