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.

There's the German movie Drei by Tom Tykwer which is a perfect triangle in that sense

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

Brightlord Highmarshal Stormface is not in love with anyone, he just lets himself get dragged around so he can brood in different places

Wait this is great! I love my wife but she doesn't love me back! So all we need to do is find a person who she loves that then loves me so we can have threesomes!

Oh can't wait! I wonder 🤔 who this person will be!

I love you, but I can't promise your wife will love me :(

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.

Just make sure you can Chekov a Sociopath isn't the newbie who'll be the Pave looking for "you."

Sounds like a plan!

Those sides should be bidirectional

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Is it really a triangle if the sides are vectors?

Maybe briefly

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Is it a triangle if one of the sides is not straight though?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If all the sides are curved, it's a love circle

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Or they are geodesics in non-euclidian space.

I.. don't know what this implies.

❌ Love triangle

✅ Lust pentagram

I'm more into the Orgy dodecahedron

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

This is the way

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.
