What self-respecting, healthy male with a healthy sex drive--and also has decent skills with women--isn't practicing polygamy (polygyny, to be more precise) anyway???
Does it really take some official paperwork for us to call it what it is???
I live with my two girlfriends. Though I am TOTALLY against inviting the government into another aspect of my life by getting legally married, my lifestyle can be described as polygynous. Everyone who knows me refers to me as a polygamist.
Women are already sharing a man with another/other woman/women.
Why not legalize the shit???
In a true patriarchy, this wouldn't be a discussion.
I've read writings here & there in the so-called "manosphere" against polygamy.
Can someone let me know what the beef is with polygamy/polygyny???
Is it some fear of not being "alpha" enough and getting weeded out of the gene pool because some men will have multiple women while others none???
If so, that's pretty much the world's modus operandi anyway.
This wouldn't be a good thing. If it got to the point where a small amount of men were scooping up large numbers of desirable women and building harems that could lead to instability. I think things functioned best when every guy was pretty much guaranteed a woman. Everything men do on some level is to raise his status for access to a better woman. Guys work hard so they can make more money and status so they can get women. What fun is making tons of money and having a nice car and pad if you've got blue balls? If you aren't getting laid then having all that money is pointless. For many men that aren't high status, their pool of women will dry up and they will start working less hard. It'll be bad for the economy and social stability. You'll start having more crackpots with guns shooting up random crowds in frustration.
You have to think through the unintended social consequences of this stuff.
This presupposes that polygyny will somehow lead to the society becoming some ancient Aztec-like despotism, wherein the women are--against their wills--forced to be 1 in a harem if 15,000.
I guarantee you that legalizing polygamy/polygyny won't lead to hordes of women scrambling to be in a harem of 1,000s.
You also presuppose that legal polygamy/polygyny will instill some widespread piety in women, i.e., women will suddenly stop sneaking around and fucking someone else behind their providers' backs.
What fabled time & land was it where guys were "guaranteed" a woman. Surely, you aren't speaking of ANY time on Earth. On Earth, this mythical, elusive-as-a-unicorn "guarantee" has NEVER existed.
In case you haven't noticed, the pool of women is already drying up for "low status" men.
We are already, as a society, practicing polygamy/polygyny. We always have--as a species--and we always will.
Everyone on this forum--from the pussified, sexless chump, to the masterful slayer of cooch--is seeking a life of pussy-abundance, i.e., polygamy/polygyny.
In fact, if even a fraction if the "lay reports" posted in the forum are valid, then this is pretty much a polygamous/polygynous community/forum.
So why the beef with legalizing what you do anyway???
Giving lip-service to monogamy, while PRACTICING polygamy/polygyny makes it no less polygamy.
Man the fuck up & gather up ya bitches...because polygamy is moving...full speed ahead. It's moving along--as always--without deviation...whether we "legalize it" or not.
And yeah...just like under monogamy...some of you still won't be getting pussy. Sucks for you. Life ain't fair.
Is it polygamous/polygynous behavior that will bring about this speculative "instability," or is it simply legalizing it and call the ongoing polygamous/polygynous behavior what it is? Because if it's ACTUAL polygamous behavior--which has NEVER NOT been a major aspect of male/female relations--then we're waaaay too late. About as late as the human species is old.
LEGALIZE THAT SHIT!!! It's the life you're trying to live anyway.
Polygamy/polygyny is already deeply woven into the fabric of male/female relations.
