what a big stack of boxes! :-) it's like playing with legos.
i live alone and fall in love a lot.

Oye! I'm mutable, things change all the time. None of this might be accurate tomorrow.
I guess right now I'm a 3-MFM (V), I'M poly-poly but one of my lovers is poly-mono which means I am too right now by default, open, non-primary hierarchal (I do have different names for different kinds of relationships but I don't like the terms primary, secondary, etc), live out.

But we're not the sum of our parts.
I have two lovers, one is more comfortable with poly than the other and I respect the boundaries of my more conservative partner. He doesn't like to hang out with my other lovers much, but if one of them is at a party we're going to then I refuse to ignore them. I keep my own place with a platonic roommate and have found that I quite enjoy not having my lovers live with me. Some day it would be nice to live in a house with several of my more long term lovers but I believe I will always need my own bedroom. I have to have a space I can kick everybody out of when I'm writing, or when I just need some time alone. I have a set of titles that I use (mate, boyfriend/girlfriend, lover, chew-toy) that describe the level of commitment, emotional intertwining, and time spent with my partners. This doesn't indicate or describe how strongly I feel for them or how committed I am personally to keeping the relationship healthy and strong. I love all of my partners in unique ways and I love them all strongly, but some are just more involved in my life than others.

2, MF, poly-mono(*), open, hierarchical, live in together.

Neither of us currently have any secondary lovers; she recently broke off an online LDR and I have had a couple of local lovers but none at the moment.

(*) I don't care for the name "poly-mono" for "date alone." To my mind "poly-mono" means that one partner is poly while the other is monogamous. But we don't do "package deal" poly, which I think is what you're asking about with this point.

-defining the relationship as, "everyone involved": 3
-FMF
-Date? I dunno what that one means anymore. We both signed up, separately, to go to a party this Saturday. I suppose we'll go together, but if not, well, we'll see each other there. It goes without saying that he'll stay at my house afterwards cause his is a long ways off. Sunday I'm going hiking with someone else who is interested in me (unfortunately, not reciprocated, though I like him). I'm not sure if either of these social encounters constitutes a date. I'm currently seeing only B.
-Open/closed: Good question. My BF has, in theory, been in an open relationship for TWO YEARS and I am the first outside person he's taken up with! He announced his nonmonogamous inclination with great honesty and seriousness. When it came out that in practice, what he's been for a long time is mostly alone, I fought hard to keep a straight face and said: "Well... dude... for someone who doesn't believe in monogamy, you haven't been seeing a whole lot of action." (OK, B, if you read this, I'm busted. But I still chuckle over that one.) At some future point I'd be open to seeing another person, but our communication has some gaps I'd like to work on first.
-No hierarchy (if not for the original topic I would not be able to spell that correctly)
-no cohabitation either.

-Honestly I don't consider myself polyamorous or monogamous. I'm social, mainly straight, and like a lot of space. Anything else is open for discussion. I took this on because I think B is the coolest thing since sliced bread, and found no inherent problems with multiple arrangements, just different costs and benefits.

these are interesting questions--the answers change all the time in my case :)
right now: 2 "main" LDR partners, a few occasional "old friend" type partners and one chew toy (to borrow Myriad's terminology)
Sexes: MFF triad (this wasn't covered in your question, but I think there's a significant distinction between V and triad)
Poly-mono vs.. poly-poly: neither of these applies, I mostly date alone at least at first
I can't imagine anything other than open, equal and live-out, but who knows, I like these people, live-in might seem attractive one day.
here's another category: kids--I have two from a previous marriage

I'm not even sure how to answer the first question :) My problem is I don't just have one relationship, I have a number of relationships and hey all are fairly different, which I think is gonna be the case for a lot of polys.

Beg pardon, but--

How many partners in *whose* relationship? 'Cause part of how I play this game (you know, falling and love and all that :) ) is that I know my partner's loves. I quite like my sweetie's boyfriend...

• Poly-mono: You mostly date alone with one of your partners. (you and 1 partner go to a party)

I'm female, most of my partners are male, most of my partner's partners are female. How many partners is a changing thing. Right now, I haven't had a second partner for a couple of years because I've been trying to get pregnant and have been very focused on my one partner. He has three other partners right now. We are both open to new partners and do not date together. We each make our own relationships. I do not use hierarchical titles, but I also would not ever describe all my partners as equal or try to strive for that. I live alone. If I ever lived with a partner or partners, I would still want my own bedroom. I've lived with partners in the past and consider separate bedrooms a bedrock of poly-living sanity.

* I guess 3 is my number, give or take...I'm in love with my BF, plan to marry him and bear his child in the future. I've also got a girlfriend who my BF may start dating as well - she would be the first girl he's dated since we began our relationship, though he has had a couple close encounters with a couple friends. In addition to the three of us, there are my friendly lovers who I see less frequently: a couple girls, a guy or two.

* I'm female, my BF's male, my GF's female...you get the picture

* I'm poly. My BF is exploring poly but may be mostly mono at this point, or even in the future. He's figuring that out for himself, but respects the fact that I am comfortable with my polyamorous way of relating to people as much as I respect the fact that he is exploring his comfortability with different relationship styles and techniques. My GF is poly. My friendly lovers are a mix of poly, and single mono peeps who know of my poly-ways.

* I mostly date separately from my BF with the exception of when someone is interested in both of us.

* I have an open relationship.

* I prefer not to use hierarchical titles. I'll use the title of boyfriend or girlfriend, friend with benefits, partner, or lover.

* I currently live alone, though I will be moving in with my BF next year. We plan to keep separate bedrooms, but will most definitely spend plenty of nights having "sleepovers" in each other's rooms.

* My stat/question to add is: How would you describe your ideal level of disclosure? My answer is FULL. I like to know as much as those involved are comfortable with me knowing. I'd rather share that much too.

• #: How many partners in relationship --3
• M,F : Sexes FMF (triad)
• Open: You have a Open relationship with in your poly relationship -- spot on
• Equal: You do not use Hierarchal titles. --pretty much
• Live in Separate: You live with your poly partners separate bedrooms --spot on
