I thought more about it and I will modify your rule to say that I will not date anyone with mh issues unless high functioning. Meaning, won't pick up guys from the residential treatment center where I was placed four years ago when then H refused to take me. Home after inpatient.
This guy Randy is clearly high functioning. I read the LINKEDIN profile and saw no issues with professional functioning. He talks of a craft hobby and meetings with other hobbyist guys he hosts in his apartment regularly, so normal socialization. Finally, he is polyamorous but does not report a whole lot of poly part of the word. Reports regularly seeing someone named Jennifer who is married and lives within an hoour and a half drive away so for these two reasons they do not meet often. But he consistently reports going to this restaurant with her or doing ABC or XYZ with her which gives an impression of a normal relationship. So high functioning in relationshps as well. I think I can live with all this. I think it is a decent compromise.
