You are right, imagine getting dumped, not by one person, which feels terrible, but two people at the same time. Imagine relationships that just compound or multiply the amount of suffering one deals with, and that's the best description for polyamory.
The Bible talks about something like polyamory. It says Jacob (Israel) had 4 women in his life: Rachel, Leah, and their handmaids. All gave him kids but it couldn't be called a happy home. The sisters probably fought over this one man, his eldest son slept with one of the handmaids, and Jacob practised favouritism (with Joseph) and the other brothers hated Joseph.
great take! yeah I'm not a person who's ever wanted to be part of polyamory but with me its like "if someone else wants to be involved in that, its their thing". I do see it as easily being disruptive though
yeah I'm seeing the poly relationships having a miserable failure rate. I need to show this to someone later. They need some perspective. It's clear that in the end it's self destructive and why most religions reformed to have 1 husband/1 wife dynamic. It's a more beautiful one to have too. you not needing anyone else in this life but your one true love. Love that words can't really give credit to... I want this more than anything.
Polyamory is just asking for trouble. I think if one partner isn’t enough, she’s either the wrong one for you or you’re just not ready for strong relationships yet.
Guys think they are in favour of polygamy, but don't realize in a polygamous system, most men don't get mates. Monogamy came about so that beta males can get sex, and low value females get commitment and resources. Also to limit infanticide.
A bit like men who are dreamers (idiots and meanies) hoping that nymphomaniacs spend all day sleeping around with lots of strangers , saving them a bundle of money on prostitutes. Lots in it for them, nothing in it for the woman. Hence it is a dream.
Under no circumstances would another dick go anywhere near her or she's not my girlfriend. Non negotiable, ever. I prefer monogamy anyways. But sure I would have sex with another girl if thats what my girlfriend wanted lmao. Its a joke.
The best argument against polygyny is having to put up with the bullshit of more than one woman at a time! If your culture just isn't down with Arab levels of beating wives, it just can't be done, IT CAN'T BE DONE, I TELLS YA! IT'S INHUMAN!
Nope. Monogamy does not work. Not matter how well you treat women they will still not be happy and usually cheat. Treating women well and being loyal only makes you lose.
If it doesn't harm anyone outside the party I would not worry about it

White flag. I surrender. I wouldn't be able to handle having two, I just need one so I can give her 80% of my attention. The other 20% goes to my work life.

I kinda agree on some points, I posted a question about it, would love to hear your point of view about it :
"Monogamy" a desperate choice or a wise commitment? ↗

Agree mostly. Polyamory and polygamy are both destructive and bad for society. The West needs monogamy to survive and thrive.

One man and one woman. Chances are the women will get jealous and I'm just not down for it. I'm not sharing my husband.

What? If I understood what you wrote, you paint women as prostitutes that don't gain anything from sex.
I mean, I am not against polyamory as long as no other dude sticks his dick in my girl. Period. Other than that, im down all day er day.
The same applies to you, isn't it?
You don't make love to someone else.

Lol. Well, whatever suits you.
I agree on most points. I personally wouldn't enjoy or do it myself, but don't judge others that do!
Interesting Take, I agree, I also don't support polyamory in any way (polygamy, polyandry or group marriage).
My ex-wife was in a polyamory relationship while we were married and I did not even know it.
That's cheating then. Polyamory is essentially about honesty, the supporters claim.

WOW that's sexist.
@wagsingle, WOW, you're one pathetic little wannabe white knight.

:( thats sucks
besides the part saying fornication is normal in the end to try not create conflict good take overall.

We are living a polygamy lifestyle and everyone is happy
Cool take. I read the quotes.
