21 Polyamory Memes That Are Too Relatable

Being monogamous is the norm in society, but little by little polyamory is becoming more accepted by the mainstream. There has been more and more representation of polycules in modern media, but it’s still rare, so sometimes you can feel like the only poly person in the whole wide world. Don’t worry, you’re not alone, there is a tribe out there that is alive and well and making memes on the internet. So here are 21 polyamory memes that will shake you to your core!

Even the cuddliest of us might need a little space once in a while!

2. Realizing You Were Poly

Some of us had to come to it on our own okay?

3. Dating Online

No one likes dating apps, but they are especially hard for poly people since they make it difficult to weed out the creeps and cheaters. Not all of us are looking for a hookup, we’re looking for people we want to connect with, which is so much harder to find online.

4. Owning Your Truth

Some of us just fell off the horny tree and hit every branch on the way down. But does this mean that every poly person is a 24/7 horn-dog? Hell no! This stereotype is harmful and serves to delegitimize poly relationships as frivolous sexual greed.  This polyamory meme says it well!

5. Encountering Problems

The whole primary partner thing works for some poly relationships but not all. If you’re more of a relationship anarchist, you’ll probably relate to this poly meme.

6. Attracting The Wrong People

Some people think “poly” means “slutty” or that it’s okay to cheat, and there’s a lot of baggage that comes with that assumption. Those straight guys looking for harems – the ones that tout a ‘no penis policy’ – they need to be kicked to the curb.

7. Watching Movies

Love triangles make little sense to polyamorous people, why suffer all that angst when you can have your cake and eat it too? We need more polyamourous representation in popular media, and we need it now!

8. Thriving In This Economy

Why have a two-income household when you can have a three-income household or a four-income one? Being in several committed relationships allows you to act as a team, and that comes with serious financial benefits.

9. I Got 99 Problems But A Cishet Guy Ain’t One!

This open relationship meme is eye opening. Dating a couple makes it a little easier to deal with your slightly ignorant cishet boyfriend, who might not be able to check his privilege.

10. Seeking Attention

When you are always around people it becomes weird when you suddenly have alone time.

11. Weeding Out The Casuals

Not all polyamorous people practice ethical non-monogamy and you have got to look out for them. The last thing you want is to be caught up in a drama with weird consequences because of a partner that lied about being poly.

12. Sharing With Your Family

This is why most of us have a primary partner – so we can have a default. But unfortunately, that’s just not how some polycules work and it’s a shame they have to hide in this mono-centric society

13. Dealing With The Haters

One of the worst assaults from toxic monogamy is when people try to prove that just because your relationship is different, that it’s inherently invalid. Everyone wants to prove you wrong. Don’t let them!

14. Being Honest About Your Agenda

Every polycule is looking for someone with a certain set of skills! And with all your skills combined maybe you can build a great life together.

15. Looking For Partners

A post shared by Lou Jent (@quibblesandbits)

Make it so you have people in your life who enrich it not just financially, but socially, sexually, and spiritually. There are some serious perks to being poly if you think about it!

16. Mentoring Beginners

Some people get really excited when they first get started exploring polyamory. But most of us just want to sit on the couch with our partners and watch movies or recover from the day.

17. Having To Debunk Old Stereotypes

The biggest misconception about poly is that polyamorous people are justifying cheating. There’s actually a huge difference between cheating and practicing ethical non-monogamy – and that difference is consent. Everyone in a proper polyamorous relationship knows about everyone else and is a consenting and enthusiastic partner. Down with monogamy propaganda!  Bring on more polyamory memes!

18. Making Tough Decisions

We stan a decisive partner!

19. Appreciating Beauty

One of the nice things about polyamory is being able to appreciate your partner’s beauty WITH your other partners. It’s like a non-stop empowerment tag-team.

20. Questioning Jealousy

Jealousy can be incredibly toxic but monogamous society has taught us it’s a healthy part of a loving relationship. The good thing about polyamory is that it changes your relationship with jealousy, and makes you question why you have those feelings instead of just succumbing to them.

21. Doing Your Own Thing

A post shared by PolyCat (@adventuresofpolycat)

Just because monogamy is the default in society, doesn’t mean that it’s the only correct way to do relationships. You should be able to love whomever you want, however you want, (within the boundaries of consent). It’s our business how we go about our business.

Final Thoughts

If you are feeling gloomy about being one of the few polyamorous people you know, then memes are a great way to remind yourself you are not alone. Other people have #relatable problems that they’ve channeled into polyamory meme form. We hope they have made it a little easier to be yourself and helped you realize that there are tons of others who feel the same way you do!

Is The ‘Eboy Haircut’ Hot or Not? How Do You Pull It Off?

The eboy style seems to be an eclectic mix of kpop, 90s grunge, skater, goth, scene, and punk, but one of the main ways to spot eboys is their distinctive haircuts.
In this article, we’re going to cover everything you need to know about eboy haircuts, including an approximate definition, the different types of cuts, how to style them, and popular celebs who rock the look.

What Exactly Is The Eboy Haircut?

The ‘eboy haircut’ is really a catchall term for the popular cuts worn by internet baes and TikTok influencers. There are two popular cuts that eboys tend to wear, there’s the medium-length hair with silky straight bangs called the curtain hairstyle. The other most popular eboy hairstyle is thick fringe with either shaved sides or a mushroom like appearance.

Type #1: The Curtain Eboy Haircut

The most common Eboy hair style is the curtains style popularized in the 90s. This cut works best for guys with thick straight hair, although guys with curlier hair can straighten their hair and achieve this look.

Type #2 The Front Fringe Eboy Haircut

This cut usually has shorter sides and thick eboy fringe. It’s a popular look with kpop stars and requires a lot of styling. This cut also looks great on guys with curlier hair since they can let their hair naturally fall on their forehead creating a full frame for their face.

Why Do Eboy Haircuts Look Good?

Eboy haircuts look really youthful! The emphasis on some type of fringe frames the forehead and cheeks nicely and makes for a charming look for anyone with an angular face – which is why you’ll see so many lean guys rocking the look.

The curtain eboy haircut offers a bit of a feminine look which is popular with scene and goth styling. A bit of a genderbending vibe is also really popular with a lot of young guys these days, even people who are outside the LGBTQ+ community.

The fringe eboy haircut works better for guys with slightly softer, rounder, more youthful faces. It’s also a great way to cover up a larger forehead and bring more focus to other facial features.

How To Style An Eboy Cut

While the eboy hairstyle is meant to look like it takes minimal styling, you will need to style it with hair products to make it look good – especially with curly locks. It’s different than just wearing your hair short. Here are some different styling methods based on your hair type.

Gel Method

Curly or straight, if you want to go totally 90s throwback, use the wet-look hair styling method with hair gel. Work some into your damp hair to get a slicker look.

Mousse Method

If you have curly hair, mousse should be your go-to styling product. Mousse will help keep the hair texture without making it look stringy. For the best results use a blow dryer with a diffuser to finish off the look.

Round Brush Method

Blow-dry your hair through a round brush to get the hair to flip outwards. Flipping the curtain bangs outward is a bold look. It frames faces really nicely.

Flat Iron Method

Did you ever borrow your sister’s flat iron to get your silky straight hair in your teens? Be ready to do that again. If you are rocking an eboy haircut with the curtain bangs framing your face, flat ironing them to emphasize your cheekbones is a popular styling choice.

Pomade Method

The lowest maintenance method when it comes to styling your eboy haircut is hair pomade. This can be done with both the curtain haircut and the textured top version of the eboy hairstyle. Pomade will help show off the texture in your hair so work a little pomade into dry hair and scrunch to achieve the look.

Jung Kook

Jung Kook is the youngest member of BTS and used to wear a dyed modern curtain eboy haircut. He has rocked it in several different colors, like blue and platinum blonde.

Celebs Who DON’T Have The Eboy Haircut

Timothée Chalamet

The Timothée Chalamet eboy haircut is legendary on the hair blogs, but his hair is more of a long grungy mop rather than a stylized eboy haircut despite the middle parting. While Timothée Chalamet might be a style icon for the eboy, his hair doesn’t match the look.

Keanu Reeves

Keanus’ center-parted hairstyle can easily be mistaken for an eboy haircut, but Keanu’s curtained hair is much too long to fit the trendy style which features the curtain bangs that usually reach the ear but not much further. Keanu doesn’t wear curtain bangs, his hair is all one length.

Tom Holland

Tom Holland has been seen wearing longer hair lately, but he hasn’t gone as far as an eboy haircut. He does appear with curls slicked back which gives him a bit of an eboy look, but he doesn’t have a middle part.

Conclusion

Eboy haircuts look sexy and youthful, but they’re not as low maintenance as they seem. The textured fringe eboy hairstyle will require more styling to keep from looking flat, and you’ll likely have to keep the shape by getting it cut often.
But in our opinion, it’s kinda worth it! This kind of cut flatters most face shapes and gives you a bit of an edgy boyish flair.
