Can a man love two women at the same time?

Question

Is it possible for a man to love two women at the same time? Is that even possible?

Well, as somebody who can say they’re polyamorous, I feel uniquely qualified to answer.

The short answer is: Yes, yes you can. There are a few ways this can be, but these are the ones I can speak from experience for:
- Triad of love: You all love each other and know about each other. You’re in love with the two girls and they love each other too along with you. I actually had a relationship for a full year like that, but one had decided we were better off as friends, and we still are to this day.
- Two like one: Both the girls like you, and they don’t mind sharing. Now, I’ve gotten up to 4 relationships like this at one point, but there is a limit based on your own poly style. Relationship anarchy, hierarchy, or equality are just examples of these categories. Based on that, you gotta take into account how many people you can feasibly love and date because you only have a limited amount of time per day, week, and month. This of course varies by how often they want to interact with you and how much time out of your day that you can fit that in.

A man can love two women at the same time. Hell, even three or more, as long as there aren’t any conflicting interests between each of the partners both short and long term. (And you’d be surprised how often this is the case, too. They can be quite agreeable as long as you’re considerate and caring about each partner.)

As a christian I personally believe it's impossible for a man to love two women because God has ripped out one rib from the man and not several ribs. He also only created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Eve and Sandra and Leah and Lara etc. It also shows throughout the Bible that the men who lived in polygamous marriages always had one favorite wife which they preferred. Like Jacob Ben-Isaac who loved Rachel the most or Elkana, the father of the judge and prophet Samuel, who loved his wife Hannah instead of the other.

I was on a dating site, and it wasn't geared towards the poly world, but there were still a lot of poly couples on the site. After reading a ton of profiles and talking to poly couples, I concluded that they were all just swingers who hated to admit it.

It's like in the movies when one partner cheats, but they call it "having an affair."

Isn't that a much more glamorous term? lol

No, I don't think a man can love more than one woman at the same time, but he can lust over hundreds at the same time.

BlueScorpio · Accepted Answer

No, not in my opinion. Eventually he's going to have to choose one or the other and both women are not going to be happy about sharing a man. Most people don't want to share a partner and want to be the only person they are in love with romantically.

FilmGuy93 · Answer

It's possible. He would love the women in different ways

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Not in the way that I define "love." Loving a partner means that you want to spend the rest of your life with them, with them at your side for all of the trials as well as all of the joys in life, wanting to go to sleep with my arms around her every night, laughing together, crying together, and being the one person who we know - without a doubt - will ALWAYS be there for us.

In that definition, there is no room for "half of the time" or "sometimes." It is always and forever.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

Of course. Women can too. Monogamy isn’t in our nature, as some would suggest. It’s a series of choices, mostly informed by societal expectations. How is it possible to lose someone we love then go on to find another? What happens when we meet the latter before losing the former? Ell oh ell! How do parents love more than one child? How do we love multiple siblings, or other relatives for that matter? We are easily capable of loving more than one person at a time. The tougher question is: why shouldn’t we?

No! Have I been "interested in more than one woman at one time before? Yes, but I wasn't in love with either yet. And when I want a woman, I want ONLY that woman. As I've tried to explain it before to women who've asked similar questions on here before. Think of it as a volume knob. Sure you can see other beautiful women. And even see the beauty in them. But you simply aren't interested in them. Because only one woman has your heart. The volume gets turned way down on all other women.

NikosBlackwood · Answer

Polyamory is having multiple partners at the same time. This is a valid and very real thing, however it requires a lot more open conversation with each partner.
This also works between any gender- a man can date two people, who can in turn date more people or even each other- each partner just needs to communicate effectively with their partner (s).

TheorionMage · Answer

The 'trick' lies in the multiple ambiguous definitions of 'love'.
Ancient Greek philosophers defined SIX types of 'love'...
MOST folks love their parents, few 'love' their parents;
just as you MAY love your children or siblings... but pedophilia & hebephilia
are defined as 'criminal' in MOST Western Judeo-Christian cultures
but not necessarily in Polynesian island extended families.

Finchie40 · Answer

No , if a man truly loves a woman he will only have pure love for her , he might be infatuated by another girl but he will only truly love one girl , if a guy says he can love 2 girls at the same time then he is lost and pretty much a selfish person that is only thinking of himself , he will never experience true love

DoctorSex · Answer

Of course a man can love 2 women at the same time. A dominant, quote unquote "Alpha" man's love is expressed through the structure he brings to your life. He can bring structure to many women's lives simultaneously.

Kind regards,

inhua · Answer

not equally they can not.

for the same reason parents can't truly love their kids equally either. there's always gonna be that one favorite kid whom the father or mother are more proud of than the other kid/s. same thing goes for multiple cars or multiple pets.

caring__1 · Answer

Polyamorous relationships can work for certain individuals, and both partners can be loved. The question is whether you are comfortable sharing your partner with someone else. If any partner is a secret from another, then the relationship is doomed. It's just a matter of time before everything explodes in your face.

allthewronganswers · Answer

Yes very possible. Take for example a father with his wife and adult daughter, he can love them at the same time.
If you are referring to love in the sexual sense then the answer is also yes. In some cultures this is very much the case is very acceptable and would also be with 2 or more women.

Meatunnel69 · Answer

Yes, men love women for their beauty mostly so we are capable of developing feelings for lots and lots of women some men just hide their impulses to maintain their relationships cuz the woman would leave immediately if she found out. Womens “feels” are different than a mans

Dontkillthepigs · Answer

It is definitely possible to have feelings of strong attraction to more than one person. It happened to me in a happy relationship I was in. I developed strong feelings for another woman. It didn't lessen my feelings for the one I was with. A concept that seems to be difficult to understand for a lot of people. To me, love isn't exclusive. But I can choose to not act on it.

AviatorTom · Answer

Yes, it's possible to love more than one person at a time. It's very difficult, if not impossible, to have a meaningful relationship with more than one. That goes for both men and women.

AdithyaR · Answer

Polyamorous people do exist.
Unless of course this situation is a guy cheating on his partner and using this as a justification.
Cause poly relationships are all about consent and what the partners involved are comfortable with.

Adam1978 · Answer

Yes all people can love more than one person that doesn't mean they want to have relationships with multiple people.

Helllo123 · Answer

Yes! it happens to women too.  I was in a situation where I loved two guys at the same time and i’m a woman. it happens.

BCRanger10 · Answer

No. A man may have emotional and sporadic attractions to more than one woman, but to truly love someone is a free and conscious choice.
