From the book, "The Red Queen" it states that monogamy is actually in the best interests for men, rather than women. Women couldn't care less about monogamy.
There was a widely quoted articlein Psychology Today about it.
Right on.
This pretty much sums it up.

In contrast, most men benefit from monogamous society. Given a 50-50 sex ratio, monogamous society virtually guarantees a wife for every man, even a third-rate one. Under polygyny, some third-rate men may not find a wife at all, or, even if they are lucky enough to find one, their wife will not be as desirable as the one they can secure for themselves under monogamy, because under polygyny more desirable women would have become the second, third, or tenth wife of more desirable men.
