 Maybe a connection to one person is different than connecting with more.

The one may be deeper, the other may be more free. 

That’s how I perceive it. 
 Eh, that's what being friends is for. Poly people just tend to be exceptionally gross, selfish people. In my experience. I've only met one set of poly people that were semi-stable, but, they are not people I would choose to be around often, and, seem to have most of their personality rooted in trauma. So... I will always consider that to be unhealthy and undesirable.  
 Maybe. But I’m like, let them. It just may not be the same feeling as with your long loved and deep connected partner. I don’t know. I too experienced that someone wasn’t as happy about it as they said. I saw it in their eyes.

And if everyone’s fine in the relationship, they’re here to make their personal experience. So I don’t mind. I personally know what makes me feel fulfilled. :)🫂 
 They're free to do whatever, but there's always someone who is loved a little bit less.

I suspect the dating market is just this bad. 
 Yes. If they are adults, they may do what they wish. 

However, I dislike people that actively promote it. It's just another way to undermine what, in my opinion, is right and good.
