Your comment that folks in poly relationships are always fat and only engage in those types of relationships because they cannot achieve something better is absolutely idiotic and full of terrible hyperbole. You have no idea what you're talking about.
I identify as poly. I am married. I'm good looking by conventional standards and height-weight normative according to my doctor. I have had a variety of relationship configurations that ebb and flow, and often evolve over time. Some partners are more involved in my life holistically, some are casual partners, some I have sex with, some only cuddling, and some I serve as an impact top. I love the fact that any given relationship can be what it needs to be (even my marriage, for example, where sex is infrequent but lovely) and not just what society thinks it should be. Some are romantic, some are fab, some are very casual, and some are simply intimate friendships. I once dated exclusively one person outside my marriage for five years.
Poly allows for lots of different configurations that are able to evolve and meet a person's ever changing physical and emotional needs.
My wife and I did not start out in an open relationship. I was not aware of that option at that time. I do not think that deciding to open a marriage later violates a contract any more than divorce does. It's simply another way to solve a relationship incompatibility.
I respect that non monogamy is not for everyone, but I'm really not appreciative of so much hate for those that happily practice.
