Small glimpse of what? I read the entire thing. Didn't find one American state, city or county where polygamy is legal. Where is it legal here smartass?
Ahh... reading for comprehension isn't your thing; I get it. I never said it was legal. I said it was approved. I see now why you were confused. And the sole of civilization is not found in the US...
Idc about where else or when else it has been "approved". I said here in OUR society it's not civil to have a polygamy neither is it legal and you claimed I was wrong. So show me how right you are.
Where in our society is this nonsense accepted or legal?
@taleswapper polygamy doesn't work in a modern society, because there's about a 50/50 split in our population. If only a few men had all the women, populations would decline and violence would spike.
Ah, parochialism rears it's head. It DOES work, just not where you are. I get it. What you seem to miss is that not everyone conforms to your views. "If only a few men had all the women, populations would decline and violence would spike." But if half the men were successful in getting two wives, while the other half had none, it wouldn't be "a few men". And given the higher mortality rate of men in general, you could go to two for half, and STILL have enough women willing to either share themselves with the rest of the men, or be a sufficient draw to keep down your feared uprising. In fact, there are places on the globe where women marry ALL the men in the family (usually brothers), and then practice polyandry. It's been ongoing for thousands of years, just as polygyny has in other places. Sorry, but your assertion that it can't work is demonstrably false.
@taleswapper You also make assumptions that women would WANT to be in this type of relationship. It's unpopular and not commonly practiced in the modern world for a reason.
I don't assume it. I KNOW some women do, because I have met them. I know some guys do, because I am one. YOU are the one making an assumption; that no one would want this of their own free will; that all such relationships must therefore be coercive.
Does the fact that most people are right handed mean that left-handedness is ALSO incompatible with civilization? no, of course not. The statistical data doesn't support your claim because your claim is binary.

I'm inherently polygamous so I understand the perception of this myTake...
I strongly agree that human are polygamy from inside
You just haven't found the right person yet.
This is a biological fact, no need to justify it. Only people blind from emotions are going to say this is not true, but fuck them, a fact is a fact
Our brains are wired for serial monogamy. Humans are neither polygamous or monogamous by nature. We are not snakes or penguins.
Lol FUCK MARRIAGE! I get more ass than a toilet seat
A wild MGTOW has been spotted
Humans are many things inside but we cannot do them in order to be civilized on the outside
And how is polygamy, one of the most widely practiced institutions, uncivilized?
Try to marry multiple women here today in America and see if people will approve of you
In some places, they approve quite a bit. you'll have to do better than that, @oxoxo_ ; that an ad populum error.
Okay smartass. Name one state, city, or county where that is legal, let alone accepted. I'll wait.
Read this article for just a small glimpse. www.theatlantic.com/.../

IDC..." Then there's no point in discussing it with you; YOU are not civilized. Thank you; you demonstrate my point.
FOH!
I disagree
possibly, but we are able to control ourselves.
You can starve yourself to death, too, by using control. That doesn't mean it's a good idea, or natural.
@taleswapper We can survive with monogamy, we can't survive without eating. Poor analogy.
We can survive with polyamory, too. So far, you haven't demonstrated how monogamy is superior to either it or chastity.

@taleswapper but on a large scale, no. The data supports my claim.

You raise an interesting point.
Interesting perspective on it
Can’t argue with this
I guess this doesn't apply to Mormons or Muslims.
wrongggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
i am poly what ever even on the outside.
FAAAAALSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I agree with what Dencent guy said
Nah, I'm monogamous.
I disagree. Polyamory is more like it.
well taken fellow South African...
