Have you been married before? It fell out of practice because flings and mistresses are 10x easier to keep. Only path having multi- wife’s lead to are the ARF curse!

If you're going that route, make sure to get 3 wives. 2 wives will gang up on you but a third will lead to them scheming against each other, leaving you in relative peace.
Or, you know, disregard women and acquire currency. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Have you been married before? If so, why would you want another wife? If not, stick to flings and a mistress. Only path having multi- wife's lead to are the ARF curse! Been married for over 15 years now  .Would I want another wife? No, no I would not. But society views polygamy as taboo, as do I. If you lived in a society where it was norm/expected, then of course you/I would. Social conditioning is a thing. |

At a macro level, polygamy is very bad for society because it creates a large pool of frustrated loser men who will NEVER have a chance to reproduce, which creates the potential for enormous instability.
That CAN be managed with constant warfare - as a way of burning up the pool of single men - but that’s mostly a solution that works well in smaller tribe/clan systems, and not in modern industrialized societies. |

Judea/Christian monogamy.
Used to be “be fruitful & multiply,” and Muslims used to be able to have 4 wives & contracted concubines. Mormons? Not sure—but i would hate the “Honey-Do list” with that…I mean, my wife x multiple wives?

Quote HistoryQuoted: Polygamy is its own punishment On a serious note, in most polygamous religions, the man rules & women are subservient—not an open discussion. The women all try to gain favor with the husband, for favored reasons. What confuses me though is the “baby-daddies” who impregnate multiple women without any financial ownership—that’s what tax dollars are for…..but if a man can actually afford 4 wives & 16 kids—society says no? Seems real retarded, but i pay ridiculous taxes. |

Quoted: As a mainstream practice that is. Just had this as a wandering thought today as an intellectual curiosity (not that I want), and I have no idea as to the answer. Polygamy was mostly practiced by nomads and former nomads. Not as much by sedentary civilizations. Rome practiced monogamy, and when Rome adopted Christianity, both it and monogamy became standard practice in much of the world. |

I think modern culture already has created tons of men who are losers and unable to get laid, polygamy wouldn't really change that because they dudes wouldn't get laid then and aren't now anyway.
Probably wouldn't be all that popular anyway and modern structures like healthcare and divorce would make it all pretty challenging. That being said, I'd totally get a second wife if my wife and I found someone we both cared for and wanted to marry. Would be awesome to have a third person to divide household chores with. I also get cold at night and being surrounded by wives in bed sounds lovely. |

Who in the fuck would want more than two wives in their life. Then its wife^2 on the inlaw scale. Its retardation to expose yourself to that level of poverty. why.. Just get hookers son. Hookers were the invention that lifted us from that madness.

One needs to distinguish between polygamy, polygyny, and polyandry.
HRAF tells us that polygyny is widely practiced throughout the world. Polyandry is rare. Intro to Anthropology is what you want. |

Y'all are looking at this the wrong way.
Say you want kids. You could have dual income with a stay at home parent still. Say you don't want kids. 3 incomes. Means more vacations, more toys, more. Sounds great to me. But I think it would be difficult to find another woman as awesome as my wife. |

I think that Utah was one of the last States voted into the Union, due to polygamy.
The rationale behind the delay, had more to do with stretching a man's resources with multiple wives. Chris |
