Homesick Islander Bloke Shocked To Discover ‘Poly Meet Up’ Night Wasn’t What He Thought It Was

An Islander bloke got a lot more than he bargained this weekend, after naively rocking up to a ‘poly meetup’, expecting to meet some of his people.

Ari Whetu, 34, says he moved to Sydney roughly one year ago for better job prospects, and though he’d been enjoying it, he’d found himself feeling a little bit homesick now and then.

Which is why when he saw a flyer for ‘Poly meetup’ he’d jumped at the chance to rub shoulders with some of his Kiwi friends.

However, after rocking up at the proposed location, Ari quickly realised that not only was he the only Polynesian in the room, but that he was also vastly overdressed.

Recounting his experience, Ari admits he couldn’t quite put a finger on what kind of event he’d stumbled into, until he saw an older, balding gentleman wearing a tuxedo vest making out with two women at the same time – both of whom appeared to be wearing cat ears.

“Yeah it was a bit odd”, says Ari, “I dunno if we have this kind of thing back home?”

Ari says though he was initially taken back by the level of hedonism, he was soon invited to play some board games by a young lady sporting a big fluffy tail.

“Wasn’t too bad actually, the folks seem pretty nice to me.”

“Might come back ay.”

More to come.
