Multiple wives is so stupid. Especially if you’re rich enough to actually afford it.

Why would any man choose that over 1 wife and then your women on the side.

I’m normal enough to know that there are better solutions for divorce

Wealthy and powerful men hoard a disproportionate amount of women, creating a large underclass of disaffected and directionless men vulnerable to being exploited

That is not permissible imo and I don't think it's an equivalent issue

Most women date the same man regardless. This is adding legality and commitment to the polyamory that is already going on

got his ass

Its not an open relationship. You guys could literally just read the op and come out with a better take. A man having multiple wives doesn't require them to get along

Why not? If anything it’s more understandable. Women are paid less so it makes sense that they could use another partner to assist them in the event of one relationship dissolving

I'm telling you my guy, it's an open relationship, regardless of it technically not being one.

And what's the point of family if they don't get along?

If it's a financial issue, the husband and the family should be the helpers. That is more efficient if you think about it. Not multiple marriages for one woman to different men

Their individual families that a man has. That was my point

Your logic about family not being broken up nly works if each wife has multiple husbands as well. So after one husband takes off she already has another one there to raise the kids. Is that what you're picturing here?

what is the key difference though lol

Historically this is very rare and only occurs in very resource-scare societies, such as peoples living in the Himalayas and the Arctic

Do you think multiple men would have an interest in a woman with multiple marriages? Think for a second

You realize only China turfed their girls and the population is 50/50 everywhere else right?

why wouldn’t they have an interest?

what are you basing this on?

what was the thought process for this thread is what im curious about lol

If most men date the same women regardless what is the benefit to the man to add paperwork on top of that

It definitely would change the current dynamics lol

If polygamy is legal across the board, they’re will be a lot more infighting in relationships because people will be fighting for one person’s attention lol

Plus most men rn are already struggling with dating, a polygamist society will make them worse off

And these women would be all down with sharing you, and genuinely love you, knowing you have a whole roaster of families out there? This what we're going with?

That their are men who want to take care of multiple families. A woman does not want to share in the responsibility of multiple households. Read what i'm saying

Didn't think so

ok I'm gonna chill on debating for now cause you guys are jumping me. I'll come back to the thread later

Sure, I’m just trying to see why OP feels the way he does. If it’s really about family security and all then there’s no real reason that the family couldn’t be matriarchal in nature
