Apple isn’t accepting new dating apps on iOS at the moment but one of my stealth projects was called Roster

It presents dating profiles like baseball cards

And acknowledges how people that identify as monogamous are not monogamous - they aspire for monogamy and have a deep discomfort with people that identify as nonmonogamous despite the aspirationally monogamous doing the same things in a harmful way

so “Roster” is just keeping up with the nomenclature and adding some honesty to it

There is a nonmonogamous side too for people that have that level of communication

But the twist is that we inform you when you are in an accidental polycule with varying levels of privacy and disclosure hehe, as well as tools to communicate about it the way that nonmonogamous people have promulgated

The athlete card style reminded me

Could you elaborate further on this idea? At first, I just disagree completely, but I'm missing your reasoning and the actual thesis behind this idea.
