    If we’re just talking math, triangles can be defined in terms of 3-element subsets of all 3 (A)ngles and 3 (S)ides:
    SSS - unique
    SAS - unique
    ASS - may be unique depending on the lengths of the sides
    ASA - unique
    SAA - unique
    AAA - infinite solutions

    Maybe someone cleverer than me can figure out how that maps on to love and gender.

    Kalodin, Adolin, and Shalan (spelling is probably wrong, audiobooks of fantasy series) in the storm light archive are the greatest love triangle because each arrow is bidirectional

        Ok we gotta get this to work. But first questions first. Are you now or have you ever been a hottie? If male, is your penis at least 7.5"? These are very important questions. She’s a hottie but it doesn’t matter because you’re supposed to love me, not her. But she’s supposed to love you. Can you sign the backstreet boys songs? Or the songs from Pink? Are you a gambler but you keep your cool and regularly make a ton of money in the stock market? Anyway, as for me, I got the sad bod going. I’m not too tall, not too short, 6" penis. I’m at a good age. And I love to be loved. And I love to love. So we will definitely click. Man, this is going great 😃. So yeah, tell us which end you’ll need from me and which end she can get from you! LOL.

    I remember when I was a young lad seeing a magazine about some drama or another involving a ‘love triangle’, and, confused, asking my mother if one of the members of the triangle was gay, since I couldn’t conceive how a love triangle could work otherwise.

        Bunch of insecure men who dislike feminist takes. I got banned for posting something similar, despite being the proud owner of some bullocks.

          Not sure if the testicles you’re referring to are in your pants or attached to mooing bovines in your fields. I’m not sure I need to know, because I’m sufficiently amused by the ambiguity, but if you want to tell me more about the testicles, I’m here for you.

            I love everything about this comment: the bemused tone, the bovines, the offer for moral support. It has it all.

              You made me smile so hard and I nearly burst out laughing, but I surpressed it because otherwise I would have to explain to my wife, and I’m not sure I can.

              But however many testicles there are, and wherever you’re keeping them, know that I forever support your pride in those surely magnificent danglies of yours.

    If the love triangle in question does not have the potential for a threesome, it is not a triangle.

    The classic love triangle was with Arthur, Lancelot, and Guinevere, where both guys wanted the girl but were also best friends. Does that not qualify?

      That is the standard of the love triangle. The two love rivals have to be friends with, or at least know, each other or else there is no tension between them for their love of the 2nd party. Or else every person talking to multiple people on dating apps is in a love n-gon. And love should never intersext with n-gons.

      I vote that it should. Sounds like good drama, the kind you’d expect seeing a love-triangle tag on a fancfiction site.

      Technically the triangle just refers to ‘relationships’ and not ‘romantic relationships’ so two male friends and one female love interest works as a triangle but one woman with two male strangers doesn’t with because that’s just a V.
