We are weaker to chimps, in strength, having even a 10% advantage will cause extremely different outcomes without tools which can get at max terminal velocity with less force, aside from that, that's still weaker, doing less brute force is being weaker, even more when the muscles are designed to not do those tasks, even more when we waste more time and energy by doing them, women normally don't have less muscle fibers than men, they just have more slower twitch fibres which generate the more resistance, less maximum force, which is the difference between humans and chimps (35%). for that reason we use intelligence, tools and resistance running to kill other animals, something which women and men do correctly and can repeat it against other animals, even more when resistance muscles are better at inputting the same strength extremely fast, something which humans did constantly, except in exceptional, but important circumstances, something which shows group hunting and the different advantages which complement on the same tasks, the simple act of not using that much strength to do our objectives makes strength less important, but that doesn't mean that it is a factor.@Yarp64371234
Humans aren't all that weaker than chimpanzees. The main difference is our muscles are more finely tuned to do more delicate tasks, which reduces the amount of brute force we exert on demand. You also forgot the most fun argument for monogamy in humans: boobs!
Compare humans to other apes and you'll find that our females have very pronounced breasts. The leading theory is they evolved to mimic the buttocks due to our bipedal gait. This means humans started mating face to face, which increases pair bonding. The children of these couplings thus had better odds of surviving if they had both parents invested.
RE: the thread title I'd say that polygamy 'works' in cases of warlords and that's about it. It's an inherently unstable system for anything long term.
Imma see if I can find it.I would have loved to see the comments on that thread.
I think you undersell human strength by a fair deal; we're stronger than a great deal of creatures on our own. We aren't top tier gorilla strong, sure, but I've heard stories of dudes going apeshit with adrenaline and killing critters barehanded.

Aside from this, chimps are in comparison weaker to other animals (and are so fearful that they hide of them), other strong animals by other margins without comparing primates (and the thing we hunted 95% of the time) are 4x stronger than us, they are so strong that a men or a woman cannot defend itself, needing to attack with strategy and using our better resistance and intelligence, something which makes the strength point moot at trying to explain an inherent incapacity around differences between man and woman and the job of hunting or protecting a place, even more when we have different strengths which aid on all of these jobs. Strength in humans it's just good for one job, attacking other humans, which is weird, but important.
Even then, this was weird because gregarian societies normally didn't had infighting, for that reason no one felt the need to attack eachother, even more when females had other advantages at night and attacking the individual who helped you on the extremely important job of not dying in your sleep it's one of the most stupid things you could do.
Put a chimp and a human to fight and you will see the result after 10 seconds.
You don't even need that, the simple fact of our women being a little smaller around height it's a reflection of that too, women in general are smaller, but they are perfectly centered on height to have their faces at the same height when they are on top, this means that pair bonding between one person was a common thing, not the act of having relationships with everything you see.
Those are adrenaline instances, you don't want that happen to you, those are extreme moments where your body damages itself to solve something in a situation where you could die, that happens to everyone.I think you undersell human strength by a fair deal; we're stronger than a great deal of creatures on our own.

They also posted it in relationship_advice but it was deleted without any response: https://www.reddit.com/r/relationsh..._my_son_15m_found_that_me_43f_and_my_husband/Imma see if I can find it.
EDIT: On duckduckgo, I was able to find out that it's a real post by a person named ThrowRA3345454, but they have since deleted their username. From that alone, I can only assume it's real and not a troll.
An actual troll wouldn't delete their account out of embarrassment after making such post.

Christ, you described an old co-worker of mine to a T. Wondering if we had the same friend? He was a Le redditor, huge Star Wars and Marvel geek, openly scorned 'normie' hobbies and trends (while not realizing he's a consoomer and trend following nerd interests). He is also really fucking fat, has a neck beard, and had a wife and kid. Shortly after the wife gave birth, decided to go poly so his "sexual needs were met".I've met several poly people and it's been a near-disaster every time. Observations:
It doesn't work and hasn't ever worked.
- The people involved are almost always fat, autistic, nonathletic, and have copy-paste nerd interests (Star Wars, LotR, computers.)
- Polyamory will be crowbar'd into every conversation regardless of whether it makes sense.
- Any attempt to talk about issues in your monogamous relationship will be met with condescending advice. Poly people believe that since their relationships take more work, so any issue in a monogamous relationship is simple and easy to solve by comparison. The reality is that polyamory is specifically designed to ignore real, valid issues like jealousy under the guise that someone's jealousy is strictly their problem, not yours, so their advice is usually "break up with them!" or "that's THEIR problem, not yours!" Also shit like, "You two just need to communicate," which means nothing to most people in functional relationships where the lines of communication are already open.
- If they have kids, the kids are insanely fucked up and can't conduct themselves. This is probably due to the revolving door of partners that the parents force their kids to be around and treat as family.
- If anyone in the relationship is married, a divorce is inevitable.
I would but we learned about evolution and had some good laughs. I'm still hoping to fish up a schizoposter before calling it a net positive.Polyamory is gay and OP should feel bad.
Can't wait OP. Monogamy will always be the superior normal.I would but we learned about evolution and had some good laughs. I'm still hoping to fish up a schizoposter before calling it a net positive.
It’s interesting though that they’ve found the stress response is much more strongly triggered by men for rodents, there is a particular smell they react to. Women aren’t generally known for killing rodents after all and I’ve always wondered if this was some weird hygienic adaptation of keeping toxoplasmosis and other parasites and pathogens carried by vermin from transmitting to developing fetuses.Critters barehand it's a normal aspect of humans tho, a single good punch of a male or female makes them explode, that's the reason they hide from you, even if you are a male or a female, for them, we are that leopard or tiger, we are so big that one single swoop and they die.
the study says that it's a stress response by the rodents, not the females, the real reason most likely is that (in my personal opinion and theory) rodents get fear of male rates from other places, so they enter in a fighting state, the reason they see males as dangerous is because it has the same hormones, just like other animals who don't see that well, even if we aren't doing anything dangerous just by the basis of smelling a shirt, remember that rats normally are in the dark and use their whiskers to smell on an area.It’s interesting though that they’ve found the stress response is much more strongly triggered by men for rodents, there is a particular smell they react to.

Anyway poly is for the mentally ill, Alison and Jake Rapp should be the keystone example of dysfunctional, neurotic people who thought an “alternative” lifestyle was going to be fun and sexy but ended up being a cluster b nightmare
One dude legit choked a cougar to death.
It was a malnourished juvenile lion.And by the things you are telling me, he didn't punch that cougar to death, he choked it, choking requires more than anything else, the strength to choke it (which all humans have), the resistance (which every human has) and a good position, obviously adrenaline makes you faster, but the act of choking just requires to be on the top of the cougar, the cougar can't use his back muscles to drop you, thus causing it's death.

My deep thots on polyamory? Burn every copy of The Ethical Slut.
