Among wild animals closely related to our species, the dominant male of the group often has access to all the females. In that sense, polygyny benefits an elite minority, while the majority of males are left without mating opportunities. I believe that with the rise of settled societies, it was men themselves who developed monogamy. This ensured that virtually every man would have a chance to find a wife.

Yet when we look at the outcome, many marriages seem to end up with constant nagging, constant complaints that the husband is never good enough, or women cheating on their husbands and walking away with alimony or financial settlements after divorce.

When people hear the word polygyny, they usually picture "being a man's fourth wife." What is often forgotten, however, is that men are not equal in terms of status, wealth, or power. As a result, many women would rather be the mistress of a wealthy man than marry a poor one.

There is even a Turkish saying that reflects this idea:

"Fakirin prensesi

zenginin metresi"

It is also worth noting that throughout history, polygyny often became more common after wars had significantly reduced the male population, leaving many women widowed. In such circumstances, taking multiple wives was seen as a way of providing those women with protection and support.

But you'd know for the rest of your life that they weren't a natural version of themselves... they were a forced version created by you.

My first girlfriend at 27 was honestly 10/10 looking. Nice relationship but she turned out not to be a great girl. I did used to flex money, exotic cars and things which may have attracted the wrong attention. I would have stood out on instagram to her.

Me personally I do feel I have every gift a guy can have. I am good looking too, life together, motivated and I have been born lucky. I want to find a very beautiful girl that is also a good person. What’s the point in having so much luck in life if you can’t put it to use?

I have dating apps and I can get a lot of interest but nearly all from girls I’m just not that physically attracted to. Problem is that it’s so hard to find those unique looking girls. Also when you do, the chance they like you back or see you on those apps is often not in your favour.

If I’ve done it once will I do it again? It is shallow but I am just really into unique and very beautiful girls. I feel in my comfort around them and I feel like such a cool guy. I’m used to it now and I can’t imagine it any different. I feel like the man.

Any advice? Where I live it’s hard to meet new people in person.

It seems like as soon as they make some money or climb the social ladder, they're always with gorgeous white girls.

After watching Young Washington, I became curious about George Washington’s family and learned something remarkable: Robert E. Lee married Mary Anna Randolph Custis, George Washington’s step-great-granddaughter through Martha Washington’s first marriage.

Washington had no biological children, but he helped raise Martha’s children and grandchildren, and his influence continued through the Custis family. Lee later lived at Arlington House, which had been built as a memorial to Washington and contained many of Washington’s belongings.

I believe Washington likely would have condemned Lee’s decision to fight against the Union. Washington was deeply loyal to Virginia and had served Virginia during the French and Indian War, but his later life was devoted to creating and preserving the United States. In his Farewell Address, he warned against sectional division, and during the Whiskey Rebellion he demonstrated that armed resistance to federal authority could not simply be tolerated.

Lee did not merely disagree with the federal government. He resigned from the United States Army and accepted command of forces fighting against the country Washington helped create.

Of course, no one can know with absolute certainty what Washington would have thought. Still, based on his writings, actions, and commitment to national unity, I believe he would have seen Lee’s choice to place Virginia above the Union as a tragic betrayal of the republic.

If a guy comes from old money and is ambitious and educated. Does that really appeal to women?

Here are just a sample of some various religious sects:

1. Islam

2. Catholicism

3. Calvinism

4. Greek Orthodox

5. Baptist

6. Presbyterian

7. Hinduism

8. Buddhism

9. Reform Judaism

10. Orthodox Judaism

11. Mormonism

12. Shintoism

Obviously, there are many more religions. But do any of them lead to more or less economic success/wealth?

If a guy comes from a very successful and wealthy background
