I've heard it was a Roman custom for some reason, and it spread from there into Christianity. Well, that, and Paul's injunction that deacons should be 'the husband of one wife'.

Common theories are, that women naturally go for rich + powerful men, even if they're just one of many wives, so those men soak up the women and the /other/ men get restless, angry, and make trouble. Like muslims. I don't know why the Romans decided to do things that way though.

If the 20% of males have wives and the 80% doesn't, you end up with the 80% being unproductive, violent, and unwilling to fight in the interest of their host civilization, unwilling to defend it, build, and maintain it.

I.e. Like everything else, the reason is war. Patriarchal monogamous societies are generally better at winning wars, so they tended to genocide everything else.

Laws against polygamy exist to keep very attractive men from having all of the women.

The majority of this userbase is probably invisible to prime women. Without laws against polygamy, they would stand no chance in become a beta provider cuck being reimbursed with sex before the female divorces them and takes half their assets.

Women have /no/ problem sharing a male in the top 20% with other females. In fact, they would much prefer sharing Chad over having to see a man with subpar facial features and short stature every day.

Polygamy means to take risks, and most people are too weak for that.

They search for replacements for the stable realtion ship of their childhood (mommy and daddy). They want someone who "belongs" to them, like a car.

Currently in a polyamory relationship. It works quite well if the two girls are interested in one another aswell. Then you can either hang out all together, if one person is tired, the other person can fill in.

The problem is that with just two people relationships are already hard to keep. You have disputes and fights. Now imagine three people. Fights will arise more often, you will see that one person is backing another one, while leaving you feeling left out. and it will rotate like this, adding even more tension. One partner will feel left out most of the time. You need to have discussions with all the people involved to know what the other feels, or you're just asking for it to blow up in your face.

Now look at how relationships work in todays society. Cheating, lying, tension, fighting, mistrust etc. Why would you want to make the relationship even harder? You take a huge risk and you might be fucked over by TWO people, not just one. also keep in mind to have a proper relationship you need to invest your time into it. Again, you double the time, the work and the hardship. If you can get the relationship to work, it has alot of upsides, but to have one that lasts for a lifetime would be almost impossible.

The only reason I got it to work somewhat was because we three grew up together and basically knew each other since day one. I can't imagine doing this with random people.

> They want someone who "belongs" to them, like a car.

Freedom is why relationships and marriage fail. You need rules, trust and sacrifice for an actual relationship to work and for all sides to put effort into it, not just one person. If anything arises in the relationship that causes tension it needs to be talked over so that both sides understand the situation. If you can't make a compromise or solve the problem, you leave the relationship. You don't just "deal with it" and ignore problems. There can be no "the man needs to suck it up" or "the woman needs to do all the work". If atleast one person half asses it or is the only one making sacrifices and compromises, the relationship is fucking shit.

Ofcourse there are many reasons why you would have a relationship. Sex? Comfort? The need to reproduce?
The point is, if you have freedom and just do it for the fucking, your relationship WILL end because of the nature of it. you will get bored. There will be no rules, there will be no attachement beyond simple lust that will fade away eventually. If you don't have a relationship foundation built out of trust, rules and sacrifice, all you will be doing is going from person A to person Z, fucking.

This is why you give up other partners, because you want a relationship to go above primal lust. You want to have mutual understanding, trust and most importanly respect. Respect should be king in a relationship. If you can't respect your partner or you don't get it from them, it's over. Pure love wont keep you afloat forever it's only there to get you started and to build up on.

Love fades no matter what you do. It can be rekindled, it will simmer down again, but it will never be constant. Respect is constant, unless you destroy it.

People are being given more and more freedom. And relationships are becoming less and less stable because of it.

The phrase literally just means do whatever you want. There is no set purpose in life unless you're religious; so to say what one person is doing is better/worse than another is completely arbitrary and only distinguished by human-made judgments. Not sure what you were trying to say with that drivel.

If you want to live a hippie life, smoking ganja and living on the road, then fuck it, do it. If you want to live a conservative/traditional lifestyle of getting a wife, having kids, and getting the white-picket fence, then do that. That's what "whatever floats your boat" means. To say one is better than the other is a meaningless exercise since you can't treat it like numbers; there are no defined criteria.

Polygame in marriage can't be done here, unless we massively reform divorce courts so that women can't get anything out of the man in a case of divorce.
A single wife can ruin your life, as the saying goes. According to most laws the wife has a "right" to 50% of all the shared belongings.

Now, imagine being married to, say, three women. One of them decides to leave you, so you're left with 50% of your previous belongings, to share with three people. Women, being women, will have second thoughts about the marriage where they now only handle a fraction of what they originally had.

Another one of them leaves, according to the law she has a "right" to 50% of the shared belongings, which is 25% from the original.

At this point the remaining husband and wife have almost nothing left for them at all, 25% to share with the both of them. The last wife leaves, and the husband is left with 12.5% of his belongings and paying alimony for THREE women.

Any white guy with a *good* job, straight teeth, height, and decent hygiene, is commanding the attention of 90% of women until he hits 45-50.

Polygamy may not be a legal paradigm but, it's an effective one.

Because unlike women men don't like being one of many. But women can't come to terms with this so they decide it's sexist for men to have more than one wife.

Of course women are perfectly happy being even the 5th wife if their man is wealthy and successful enough. Just look at Hugh Hefner

Women instinctually find men who have had multiple beautiful exes more attractive and they also tend to be more attracted to married men.

Polygamy is the natural solution but women don't know wtf is good for them and polygamy (multiple wives) will never be legal in western countries.

I wouldn't be surprised though if having multiple husbands one day becomes a thing.

This is explored in the show Big Love. The family keeps it a secret because regular modern-day mormons oppose polygamy and would persecute them if it was discovered. There is nothing he could actually be charged with (relating to the marriages). Legally, he is simply a man married one woman who has two mistresses and a gaggle of bastard children.

There was also an episode of Rake where he was representing some guy who married women in separate countries.
At some point he notes that if his client had simply cheated and fathered other children without marrying, or even just had one marriage ceremony without legal recognition, then he couldn't be charged with anything (he was rich so he'd supported them all financially).

Every media portraits romance as a single man committing to a single woman, you will never see the romantic adventures of a single man as he falls for and marries multiple women living happily ever after.
And I say men because we can't have a woman with a harem, the idea goes against the male reproducton instinct of leaving an offspring, why would you ever share you chances with other males ? Women don't care because they can each be impregnated with their own genes even if they share the male.
