Is it a triangle if one of the sides is not straight though?
If all the sides are curved, it’s a love circle
Or they are geodesics in non-euclidian space.
I… don’t know what this implies.
I’m a part of a love Calabi–Yau manifold.
❌ Love triangle
✅ Lust pentagram
This is the way
I’m more into the Orgy dodecahedron
Haha straights dumb haha
Why is she hogging the corner?
Those two dudes wanna smooch in that corner!Accute Love Triangle: Two people who are boning, but they wistfully pine for a third person from afar.
Obtuse Love Triangle: Two people pinning for the same third, when they’d be better off hooking up with each other.
Equilateral Love Triangle: When there is no age-gap discourse in the polycule.
Right Love Triangle: When the odd-couple finds the perfect person to square them off.
Stereographically Projected Love Triangle: A romantic Isekai
Non-euclidean love triangle: Both people who are currently together wish they were with the same third person who lives too far away for a relationship to work.
There’s some Interesting graph theory problem somewhere in here about finding out if a network of N people in M relationships must include at least one gay person.
You and I have a different definition of interesting.
Even numbers are pretty easy to solve at least. They can be straight or lgbt.
I posit that any love shape that includes an odd number of participants requires some form of deception, or at least one LGBT person in order to be valid.
A relationship graph which requires no gay relationships is called bi(partite).
That follows because if you can two color the graph so that edges only connect different colors, you just assign male to one color and female to the other.
This means there’s a tone of mathematical identities describing this. Wikipedia has a good introduction.
Very neat. But the fun part of this is that if you’re poly/into more than one person, you are now a part of the LGBT group, not the straight one.
Note the above image, where the triangle shape requires that every person be into another person, with the tension being that if it’s cishet, they have to choose only one person.
We aren’t checking to see if a shape with LGBT people works, we know those do. We are checking to see if a cishet triangle is even possible.
isn’t cis het an identity, therefore someone could identify as heterosexual an be in a polycule, only fucking members of the opposite sexual.
Sure buddy.
Yes. My girlfriend’s husband is cishet, it has nothing to do with his willingness to have multiple partners, just the fact that he’s an amab man who exclusively is attracted to women. His wife happens to be pansexual and dating a lesbian, but that has no impact on his orientation
It took me a while to figure out who your girlfriend’s cishet husband’s pansexual wife’s lesbian dating partner was!
A relationship isn’t LGBT; a person is. A cishet man who has two bi/pan female partners who date each other isn’t LGBT because his partners are queer.
POV: Every triangle is a love triangle if you really love triangles
Youre using POV in the wrongest way to hang a lantern on it and Im here for it.
POV: I’m doing my part
No one:
You:
If you really love triangles, it becomes a new sexual orientation.
Oh, is that what the T stands for.
Wait, I thought that’s for tiramisu? How else do you spell tiramisu? Is this one of the UK vs US things?
This but unironically /s
…which instance is accidentalpolyamory on
The classic love triangle was with Arthur, Lancelot, and Guinevere, where both guys wanted the girl but were also best friends. Does that not qualify?
I vote that it should. Sounds like good drama, the kind you’d expect seeing a love-triangle tag on a fancfiction site.
Ah, a triangle with a platonic base.
Great joke man! The unrelated Greek term plausibly masquarading as another geometical term, brilliant!
Unrelated Greek word? Platonic here refers to the nature of Arthur and Lancelot’s relationship. It’s a platonic relationship, rather than romantic or sexual one.
Unrelated to triangles, I mean, sorry! Of course it’s very topical.
Technically the triangle just refers to ‘relationships’ and not ‘romantic relationships’ so two male friends and one female love interest works as a triangle but one woman with two male strangers doesn’t with because that’s just a V.
That is the standard of the love triangle. The two love rivals have to be friends with, or at least know, each other or else there is no tension between them for their love of the 2nd party. Or else every person talking to multiple people on dating apps is in a love n-gon. And love should never intersext with n-gons.
This is how I thought love triangles must work when I was a kid bc obviously, a triangle has 3 lines
If the love triangle in question does not have the potential for a threesome, it is not a triangle.
Correct
If we’re just talking math, triangles can be defined in terms of 3-element subsets of all 3 (A)ngles and 3 (S)ides:
SSS - unique
SAS - unique
ASS - may be unique depending on the lengths of the sides
ASA - unique
SAA - unique
AAA - infinite solutionsMaybe someone cleverer than me can figure out how that maps on to love and gender.
Ouu. Spicy take (though I agree). Post it on [email protected] and get banned in one easy step
why would that get you banned?
Bunch of insecure men who dislike feminist takes. I got banned for posting something similar, despite being the proud owner of some bullocks.
Not sure if the testicles you’re referring to are in your pants or attached to mooing bovines in your fields. I’m not sure I need to know, because I’m sufficiently amused by the ambiguity, but if you want to tell me more about the testicles, I’m here for you.
I love everything about this comment: the bemused tone, the bovines, the offer for moral support. It has it all.
You made me smile so hard and I nearly burst out laughing, but I surpressed it because otherwise I would have to explain to my wife, and I’m not sure I can.
But however many testicles there are, and wherever you’re keeping them, know that I forever support your pride in those surely magnificent danglies of yours.
Long long rule:
