As a poly person, this quote is so funny:

While [for poly people] the well-rounded partner type remained the most common [as with monogamous people], the second category centered on kindness and sexual skill rather than physical attractiveness [and sexual skill].

There's an old comedy song more or less about poly people not typically being conventionally attractive.

Love is love, and in my opinion more is better, but it's also good to be able to see from an outside perspective and chuckle a bit.
