It's not a consistent thing. Some guys think they want a relationship, and the ones who desperately want one are often (but not always) looking for a woman to fill a void in their lives that they think she can fix. Ultimately, most of them have bigger issues at hand.

There's also guys like me, who would be cool with a relationship, but aren't seeking one out. Being in a GOOD relationship is awesome. There's that cool fluttery feeling you get when they come in the room, having a partner in crime, sex, and exploring someone in a more intimate way than you do with anyone else, revealing the things about you that really make you that person.

But a lot of relationships aren't built like that - it's just a bunch of people settling for someone at their side, because for some reason they're worried they're going to end up alone forever, and their validation comes from having someone attached to them.

On your larger point of polyamory, a lot of people can't stand that. The reason I don't like it is because there's really no endgame. Cool, we're going to dance around and never commit to anything? Why, because you're afraid of getting hurt? Because you just want to fuck more? Seems silly to me, and I'm fine with casual sex.

At the end of the day, I just don't want to try to pay attention to someone who can take me or leave me for another person at any given time of day.

Not all men are sluts. Plenty are. You should not have trouble finding them.
