    Jesus christ! That's around the median monthly income in my country. And I come from a rich country.

    My rent is around a fifth of that. Please tell me the $3000-4000 range is at least for a family apartment.

    The majority of America its physically impossible to live by yourself with in an hours drive one way of any reasonable job.

    You either have roommates, work two jobs, work remote and live so far out in bumfuck nowhere your basically a hermit.

    Or you live in glorified squaller.

    The average rent in the US is about 1600/mo, and the median household income is 83k/yr. Obviously these averages/medians will change dramatically when looking at individual places, but if you live in a major coastal city that's infamous for being unaffordable you will absolutely need roommates to afford rent.

    However there's also plenty of major cities which are not unaffordable so while you can have your eyes pop out of your sockets looking at LA, SF, NYC, etc. Toledo OH or Milwaukee WI are just quietly going on about their day being relatively affordable places to live with plenty healthy local economies

    I clicked the link and read the whole thing. I still am not sure if this is sincere or satire. It's so out there that I kind of hope it is real, and that they find what they are looking for.

    My favorite part:

    What is your “special move”? *

    If you are under 25 & haven’t figured it out yet, you may skip this question.

    I was leaning real but intentionally humorous, but then they asked for the applicant's LinkedIn profile and now I have no idea

    I’ve heard of bananas stories like this over on StrangeÆons channel, so it might very well be real.

    There are so many little things in that link that sends up a little red flag, but this section.... Oof.

    Family planning:

    • We would like to have 3-4 kids.
    • We are considering having Melissa breed with Norman or Zaid, and/or Mackenzie with Douglas, as we believe these would be the genetically-optimal combinations. This would likely take place in the next 1-2 years.
    • As you would be a newer addition to the polycule, we would need to get to know you for 2-4 years (depending on good behavior) before considering adding you to the gene pool.

    Genetically-optimal? How in the fuck do they determine that? What happens if their spawn is not genetically-optimal? Recycling bin?

    Geezus fuck people are dumb sometimes.

    Hot and hot = optimal, I'd assume. I haven't checked the website to see if they have photos of the people or anything.

    Yeah 100%. As someone who is a "normal" poly person, the stuff listed in this is awful and terrible and shouldnt ever actually be considered polyamory.

    Yeah, I know when a polycule is looking for a short member they can lift up to get the cookie jar & high shelf stuff.

    Wow, I think this just found the field of microeugenics

    I'd need more information before I could say I wanted to be in their polycule, much less their breeding pool.

    I'm not poly, but $1,500 is pretty cheap rent for San Francisco...

    You can't click on this link

    Never heard of QR codes? Are all members over 50 years old?

    "You can't click on this link because it is on printed paper, you will need to type it into your browser".

    That got me chuckling, because I have actually tried to do that multiple times, but only succeeded twice.

    The video of Zaid on the website. He blinks a lot while pausing before saying he's ok. That is a sign people in cults do when they are not ok.

    Also, when a group make a video of a member in which they state they are ok to prove nothing is wrong, it's a sign something is wrong.

    When they state a member leaving as "defected", it's a sign of a cult.

    When they use the word "breeding" for adding children to their group is totally not a red flag lol.

    I was convinced this was satire and then I clicked through the link. See for yourself and maybe apply :)
