Ills Social Answer Polygamy

I have looked at this issue many times and I have to say from everyones input I and still undecided. I can see the points in everyones arguments. I think the real case here is if the female wants it then let them decide. If the male wants it is it going to be a forced issue or just a issue with lust. I believe that if two or more women want this then they should go ahead and do it.

Thats true about the woman wanting this. I don't know any women wanting this. Women are jealous when they have their man for just them. What if we reverse this with one woman and many men. I wonder how many men would accept that.

with the population of the world the way it is right now I think it is getting to be about two women per man. I think it is more accepted to have multiple women partners than a woman to have multiple men partners.

First of all, I have several relatives who are polygamists. My great-grandfather was a polygamist. From what I can see, the vast majority of women in polygamous communities are very happy. Last time I saw one of my cousins, who is a very junior wife in a family, she was very satisfied.

As for social ills that polygamy can, and does, alleviate:

Lonely women. Specifically, I know of many women who are divorced, widowed, or never married, who will probably never get married because they are not as attractive or glamorous as others.

Women in bad relationships. My sister is in a very difficult marriage. A close friend is going through a divorce because her husband is almost apathetic about everything.

Single mothers. Over 50% of mothers in the African-American community in the US are single. Related to the "Lonely women" point above, this means that a very high percentage of children in the US live in homes without an active good male presence in their lives.

I do not advocate polygamy for everyone, or even most people. I advocate for it for those people who have the right mindset and the right personality. As I have pointed out many times, it is amazingly difficult for the men in these relationships. We struggle, worry, pray, and cry for our mates and families in a monogamous relationship. I think it is probably a geometric progression of concern as other women are added to the relationship.

As an example. My cousin, the polygamist wife, was married to a man for many years. He died of cancer about 4 or 5 years ago. She was left with at least six children. His brother stepped up and took her and her children in, and treats them as his own. She has the comfort of a husband, along with the knowledge that there is someone who has accepted the responsibility of helping her children grow and develop.

Very valid points Nighthawk. The thing that I feel would make a polygamous relationship work the best are those that the wife comes to her husband and asks him if she could have a sister wife. This would make it the womans choice and would show to the male that she will be accepting of another. This would ensure that those women who are jealous of others to not be in polygamous relationship at all.

Never thought about the women who never get married because they aren't attractive but aren't there single men out there who are not attractive too? I'm just saying for the many reasons we can find why it might be good I don't see a really big reason for leaving a traditional marriage to go into polygamy.

How many times have you heard the statement, "All the good men are taken."

There are a lot of men who are not good candidates as husbands. Many of them are married to their work. Many are so socially inept that they don't even want to try to change.

Just think of the number of marriages that you know of where the husband is a real jerk, who has no consideration for his wife, is abusive, is apathetic, or just a complete idiot. How many of those wives would thrive if they were allowed to marry a man who has already proven to be a good husband?

My only statement here is that polygamy should be available for those who want to participate in it. Heck, serial polygamy, along with "informal" polygamy is rife in the whole world, but particularly in the Western world. That is, men who have and support mistresses, regularly have affairs, get married and divorced over and over.

Once again, it is only for those with the right mindset and attitude. Those who go into it with the idea of proving their virility or just having a harem are not going to succeed. It is not at all about sex. It is all about love and support.
