Um. I think those are non-central poly relationships for this community. Usually it seems like both men and women (and others) have or are interested in having multiple partners. Women appear to have more partners on average, but those that have exactly one are more likely not to be looking for more. Unfortunately the sample size is kinda small, so that’s probably not very meaningful. (data from the 2013 survey)
Update from the 2014 data—with the introduction of “and possibly open to more relationships partners” the number of poly people (except of nontraditional genders) with one partner who are currently not looking for more relationship partners dropped significantly. Women 6:4→2:12:5, Men 27:37→11:39:21, Other 1:5→4:5:2.

I’m fully aware. I would just like to know about stability at either end of the spectrum.
