Aichausa, so smart, and I think I just fell in love with you! Well, I'm going to bed now... Sweet Dreams.

Answer 1

Programmed instinctively to have more than one wife??

LOL

You mean to have more than one woman be it girl friend, bed partner, etc, etc?

The spousal concept is an element of belief affiliations, be it indigenous or conventional.

Guys are "wired" to seek out more than one woman and keep score of his playmates. Women aren't likely to do this. They usually want one partner. It's a recent societal element recently adopted by women to gather more than one man, but yes, for the men, it is instinct to pursue more than one partner of the opposite sex.

Cheers :)

Additions: I've read some of the above responses and it really depends upon who you ask. Be careful who you ask. If you ask someone who believes in Creation, then their answer will most likely be that there's no such thing as anything remotely close to the innate gravitation for men to have as many women as possible. You really need to be asking this question in the Anthropology section. You'll get a clearer, more concise response, and one that you're looking for. You won't be satisfied with the half-witted answers in this forum.

How some of the others and I have responded is the closest you're going to get, apart from the Anthropology section, to the right answer.

Nice try, though.

Take care and good luck.

Answer 2

I don't think guys have been ripped off at all! The world has always been dominated by male influence and today, no one has control over your decision to marry or not -even religion. If you're a religious person and your family expects you to get married then I guess it's hard not to be influenced by the pressures of religious conformity but it's our basic human right to chose when, if and who we marry. I also think it's basic human instinct for most males to want to be with more than one lover -Muslim males are legally allowed to marry any number of wives...but I can't say it would be all that great (think of the money, the children, the stress). Also I don't think it's a good thing to for men to marry more then 1 lover, i've always respected women and I couldn't subject them to that sort of life -imagine if you loved someone and they were legally allowed to have sex with other women- you can't say you would feel jealous or affected in some way. I don't agree at all with non-monogamous marriage because humans are very sensitive with changes in feelings especially love. I couldn't imagine loving more then one girl EQUALLY. No matter what it is, there will always be something you like more about someone even if it's on an extremely small scale such as how their voice sounds or how they kiss. If you're not the monogamous type then i wouldn't recommend getting married until you're completely sure you're ready. It's natural for both men and women to fantasise about other people when they are married. It's natural, but it's always best to remember that it IS a fantasy. No matter who you're you will sometimes wonder about other women but i always say "For every girl out there, there's a guy that's tired of sleeping with her".

Answer 3

Programmed No! Basically having more than 1 wife is simply for selfish gratification and honestly it would be a lie 2 say otherwise. Also if u truly love someone u wouldn't never need some1 else, b/c that person is the one u love. And us as guys r not getting ripped off, if anything we should b happy 2 find some1.

Answer 4

Actually, since there is a 1:1 ratio between men and women, polygamy only benefits those men at the top tier in their social circles. If a bunch of men have 2 or 3 wives, the men on the lower spectrum have none. I also think that it's possible to love more than one person at the same time, but that being biological predisposed to wh*re around is crap.

Answer 5

No. In the beginning the plan was for a man to have one wife and they would love, honor and cherish only each other as husband and wife until death parted them. This is the format that gives the maximum happiness to the man and wife, the best situation for children and the best situation for the community as a whole.

Only in rebellion to the original plan do men and women feel they have the right to have more than one lover. Among the consequences of this rebellion are divorce, broken homes, poverty and children with no father in the home. Boys with no father in the home because the father never married the mother or left looking for a new lover are the primary source of crime in society.

Answer 6

In prehistoric times it was beneficial to humans to mate often and with many partners. This helped propagate the species. People died young in those days and it was difficult to keep a group together. Disease, predation, hardship, and injuries made life hard. A man can engage in reproductive activity every day and will get results much of the time. Women are only available for reproduction when ovulating. That's only a few days a month and not at all when pregnant for 9 months. Modern man has agriculture and industry and does not need to hunt. Modern man has created rules and morals to supposedly guide them. These rules include monogamy. I don't know why or if there is any advantage to it.

Answer 7

some people (not just men, because a lot of women are the same way) just are not meant to be with one person for a whole month, let alone the rest of their lives. some people are just fine with being with one person and have no problem with it. in my opinion, if you really are the type to be in love with a bunch of people at one time, you should come to terms with it and never get married until by some miracle you feel the opposite. otherwise you just screw someone who has an unrealistic ideal of you over. so find like minded girls, but don't get all jealous when they also are in love wit 2 other guys other then yourself. if you can manage that, you've got it made.

Answer 8

I don't believe in polygamy. I think that God made the world so that each person has just one other person that is meant for them -soulmates. I don't think that today's society rips off men at all. Even more so than ever, women are much more promiscuous and independent, not that this is a negative thing. Women are coming into their own. I think polygamy is more of a dictatorship, where men want more wives in order to feel more important. It demeans women, and it is ridiculous.

Answer 9

Programmed? No. I think men like the idea of it but have NO idea what kind of work it takes to have more than one wife and would run away screaming into the night if they did.

If you feel ripped of, how would you feel about your wife having two or three husbands? Not sit well with you? Turn abouts fair play. Goose/gander, etc.

Answer 10

Instead of thinking of yourself all the time, let me ask you to put the shoe on the other foot so to speak - " Would you want to share your girl or your wife with two or three other guys - or more." Playing the field and going out with more then one girl without being real serious with any of them is part of the dating game.When you both start to get to enjoy one anothers company more then any of the others, then your narrowing down to "this may be the one". You work on your relationship up until your engaged. If it lasts that long - your hooked. Start saving your coins - you'll need all of them.
P.S.: It's hard enough to keep one happy w/o more, pal
