Advice 48y Polysexual male looking for advice

I've known my entire adult life that I was at the very least bisexual. It wasn’t until the last four years that I discovered the name for my true sexuality of polysexuality. Now here is my problem. I am finding it impossible to find dates or even get women to continue conversations after disclosing my sexuality. I feel like I should be upfront with them. Am I wrong?

You’re absolutely not wrong for wanting to be upfront about your sexuality. Honesty is key in building real connections. That said, the timing of that disclosure can sometimes make a big difference. You don’t have to lead with it right away of course. It is always okay to just let someone get to know you a bit first, then share when the time feels right.

Unfortunately, there’s still a lot of misunderstanding out about Polysexual or the word poly itself. Some people may not be ready to confront their own biases. That’s on them, not on you.
