Ah, yes, autumn is finally upon us. You know what that means. Sweater weather, pumpkin-spiced everything, falling leaves. So, now that the weather is getting cooler, we thought it would only be right to keep you warm with a complete and total roasting of you and your gay polyamorous lifestyle.
Nothing says representation quite like a curated batch of 35 polyamory memes that are sure to attack you to your core.
Polyamorous relationships can be a wild ride that teaches us about ourselves, jealousy, insecurity, honesty, communication, and how to share the ones we love. While non-monogamy can be a rewarding way to structure your relationships, it doesn’t come without a little inner turmoil.
Whether you are in a non-hierarchical poly dynamic or a spicy triad, these polyamory memes will speak deeply to the full range of emotions and experiences that come alongside being poly. As a meme king, I’ve tried my best to cover everything from the sheer power of solo polyamory to the everyday struggles of queer non-monogamy.
Fire up the polycule group chat because these memes are too good not to send to your boos, lovers, significant others, and even your girlfriend’s boyfriend’s theyfriend. Without further ado, let’s get this meme show on the road!

Have you ever been dissociating on Tinder when you came across the five kinky, poly couples looking for a lesbian unicorn in a row that all happen to be carbon copies of Elon Musk and Grimes?

Thank god you’ll never run into that issue when you’re on the best polyamorous dating app in the world.

Nothing quite says a lesbian polyamory meme like two cats anthropomorphized as your girlfriends pouncing on you. The only thing worse than being in trouble with your girlfriend is, well, being in trouble with both of your girlfriends at the exact same time! But then again, it’s also kind of fun, cute, and kinky when they gang up on you.

Poly, hot, and having to explain my situation a lot is the new sexy, single, and ready-to-mingle!

Nothing like a good old-fashioned polyamorous blacksmithing joke to soothe a handy dyke’s soul. My only question is, do they offer a Groupon for this workshop? If so, sign me and my throuple up. We’re forging chain mail lingerie tonight.

Nothing hurts quite like cringing during a rom-com with the girlies. Why have a love triangle when you could have a bisexual triad and everyone’s dreams could come true? Life is so much more simple when everyone is poly? That is, as long as you don’t mind the radical honesty even when it hurts coupled with hours of endless processing… Polyamory is a personal evolution glow up!

That feeling when you—as a bisexual queer—bring both of your poly partners over to your grandma’s house, and while it wasn’t what she was expecting, she confesses to you about that time back in the day when she was dating multiple guys at the same time who knew about each other. Of course, they didn’t call it polyamory back then, but we love an intergenerational poly bonding sesh.

Okay, I know I just said that polyamorous people don’t want to date everybody, and technically that’s true! But hear me out. If you’re a relationship anarchist, you could also be dating everybody. Anyone who is asking me who I’m dating should probably just date me.

And finally to top it all off, we love a polyamorous dynamic where everyone is respectful, non-competitive, and genuinely wishes for the relational success and deep happiness of your partner’s partners. There’s nothing better than flipping the possessiveness of monogamy on its head and letting people know there is another way to conceptualize relationships and treat your partners.
So there you have it, the peak experience of polyamory meme culture! The best part about memes is that they capture a very specific feeling—the essence of IFKYK. Memes can remind us that we are not alone in our experiences of the world. This is especially crucial for marginalized people and underrepresented groups. I hope that you can relate to at least a few of these polyamory relationship memes.
The best thing about polyamory is that it challenges normative beliefs about desire, romance, and relationships that are worth interrogating. But also, polyamory is not for the faint of heart! It takes hard work, rigorous honesty, integrity, care, and communication. Regardless of whether monogamy or polyamory is right for you, we should all strive to bring those qualities into every relationship in our lives.
