But also, can I get some advice from the community? After a long while, I finally lifted the veil over my eyes and came to terms with the fact that I am totally and unapologetically homosexual. But I've been married for a long time so we're trying to make it work and just extend ourselves to polyamory. I've booted up a dating profile, but should I include that I am a baby gay? Do I include my open relationship? Or are those things to talk about in person? Any advice?

I met my wife on a dating site, though I had an assist from a mutual friend.

My biggest takeaways were:

Don't expect instant and constant results. You can go weeks in between meaningful matches, and at some point you will actually tap out the "market" and there will be no one new for you to see in the app.
Be selective, but not demanding. Someone having a less-than-stellar profile may just mean they are bad at writing about themselves, not that they are a boring or unpleasant person.
