Monogamy vs Polygamy: advantages and disadvantages - r/polyamory not permitted

[Monika H.]

Hallo, hallo!!!

So, in your opinion, what are the advantages of a polygamous relationship over a monogamous one? Disadvantages?
Worth it or not?
Useful to repopulate the world after WWIII will have happened?
Good to get a spitroast?

Share your thoughts.

I mean, one is the foundation of humanity and modern society while the other is what happens when I see a girl in yoga pants who isn't my girlfriend and and I literally can't control myself and behave like a stupid fucking ape, so uhhhhhhh

They both suck. But monogamy is less worse than polygamy as it gives every male in society a chance to get marriage and have sex with at least one woman. Which in result keep society stable and lower social problems.

Historical Himmler thought that polygamy would actually sprone the man to be more present and attentive with his family, while the women would have collaborated (instead of seeing each other as a rival) in their tasks regarding the household.
This would also have relieved the man of the "unwillingness" and "boredom" of mating with the same woman.

I myself would be incapable to do that.
I mean, it's hard enough to handle and keep a woman alone happy, figures two...

Maybe during his time in a society which polygamy did work in a certain extent. But it can't be done today with rise of social media, STD/STIs, and other social issues.

The advantage of Monogamy is that you're not a pathetic cuck and a massive lolcow automatically for being monogamous

The ratio of chads to virgins is so unbalanced that soon women are going to have to group up on one chad if they want a shot at landing a suitable mate.

Polygamy is for warrior societies like Islam in its early centuries who needed to pump out fresh mujahideen for their constant assaults on literally everybody around them.

It’s not just dehumanizing for women, becoming baby factories, but men becoming drones or shock troops as well.

Non-exclusive monogamous relationships are fine, polyamory seems like bullshit to me, you'll just end up like Onision

 

[ES 148]

Polygamy is stupid.

Fucking isn't a team sport.

 

[Sperglord Dante]

Polygamy is just extra elaborate cuckoldry.

open relationships are fine, swinging is fine, but polyamory is bad
i started a thread on r/polyamory over in community watch, it has a lot of posts that i feel clearly exemplifies why polyamory is bad
literal non stop drama, homewrecking, unwanted pregnancies, people acting like jealousy is unnatural, and just...generally making a complete mess of their life.

When you commit to cumming in more than one hole, you're cumming all over Jesus's face. You're either getting cucked or contributing to the world's cuckold factor. We don't need more cucks!

It's also a legal issue as well. I've seen posts about these polyamory people wanting marriage to be a valid option for them, despite the fact that most of the time as you mentioned they're just in messy relationships and don't seem to grasp human nature. People like to feel important--no--valued is the better word for it. When you're in a relationship with 5 people it's going to be hard to share that sense of worth.

Keep in mind, this isn't the same as familial love or even just being close. They want relationships to cater to THEIR OWN needs while completely disregarding everything else that comes along with it. And then they act confused as to why people get upset when they're in those kinds of relationships. Not to mention many times you see these people act like creepers when it comes to "potential partners".

Really, they should just admit they like the high of being with multiple people and get over themselves.

I think that everyone here prefers monogamous over polygamous, and with good reasons.
So, I guess the best way is traditional.
An husband and his wife, alongside (maybe) his mistress and her lover, how of has always been.
Or now that they have been mostly legalized in the civilized world, gay monogamous married couples.

Multiple mother in laws and "special days" to keep track of? Fuck that.

I do have a coworker though from Indonesia with multiple wives. He is older and back when he got married, Indonesia was still recovering from WWII occupation. At the time, families only fed their sons and their daughters got the scraps. Because of this, women were traditional malnourished and rarely survived childbirth.

So poor families, to save money, would typically throw in a two for one or three for one deal, assuming that the oldest daughter would die and then the next one would take the place and so on. My coworker married and woman and her two sister. They are all still alive. Per him, he has only had relations with his actual wife, but he provides a household for all three women and his kids back home in Indonesia.

Its no longer popular or socially acceptable to do it now because life expectancy for women has risen in the country. At least this is my understanding.

I'm anti-mistress and anti-boytoy, if the other party is in the dark about it.

Take a trip over to the r/polyamory thread here on the farms and enjoy. Most of these people end up miserable.

The thing you need to keep in mind is that it goes both ways. You can fuck any girl, sure.... But she can fuck any guy she wants. And if you can both live with that, then that's great, but you probably just aren't meant to be together at all.

If one of you can't live with it, it's bitterness and a failed relationship what you're in for.

The sex can be doable, but the relationship aspect is where it always goes wrong. A romantic relationship is complicated enough when you only have one, now you have two, three, four partners? And they all each have two, three, four partners?
