Poligamy

What could we learn from the past? Do you see any positive in it?
This is what makes me want to escape this society and retire with a woman in a remote location, build a small tribe of people, and cut off any access to internet

Good luck with that

Polygamy, especially in countries with smaller populations, would result in massive inbreeding which is never a good thing. It would also make the dating market an even bigger disaster than it already is as there would be much less available women, unless cheating becomes normalized, or the women are polygamous too so that it goes both ways, which sounds like something that would end up in total chaos.

I think strict monogamy is the favored relationship model for good reasons, and the reason why we in the West have built the type of stable societies we have now. We may not have the biggest populations, but at least we are a population of quality people. Many countries around the world wouldn't be as poor as they are if their populations were reduced by 80% because of polygamy, rampant promiscuity, and having many children for no reason other than "family honor".

Women prefer polygamy because there is a limited number of top 10% men, and they would rather share one than have to lower their standards

It is still present in less developed countries - in more developed countries it was overtaken by LTRs (but only periodic/lasting few to X years, rinse&repeat) monogamy, which seems to be more attuned to human life cycle. Some rich guys may probably manage few informal LTRs when married, therefore have more children and also financial obligations but most of the HQ females would have never accepted another female openly in romantic relationship with her man, therefore it is probably the most popular in high money but low EQ/formal education development circles (artists, some early-starters entrepreneurs, successful influencers, -salesmen types, people that inherited money but did not earn them etc.).

Go look into the social and economic outcomes of countries that have polygamy.

It's probably more natural than monogamy, but still presents a lot of problems. Any system involving the state is going to screw the individual.

Which countries? The guy in the video is delusional. The feminism is all about empowering women (meaning any power value female has over a man - which is, mostly, sex-related) is amplified is man is forced to stay with her (therefore, be partially subdued by this power) therefore no, feminism will not boost polygamy ideas - rather, it will be as it was - females will compete actively for AAA man, reluctantly agree to be with other high tier male, allow to be courted by mid-to-high tier man (and enter relationships with some of them once AAA-A tier will become obviously unavailable to them) and will allow mid tier men to orbit them and low tier be their situational slaves from time (as it always was) i.e. punching bags for mockery or faked pity.

Therefore no, feminists will not accept polygamy idea, because it is not in their interest (feminism is an idea about social order but tweaked to the needs of females - mostly so-so in terms of attractiveness as really attractive females do not need it to be succesful just as really attractive men ("naturals") do not need manosphere/men's rights activism - men having legalised access to multiple females in formal relationships means redefinition of cheating as well as "white marriage" idea - it is also easy to imagine various male strategies like marrying for money (with female A) and later, for sex (with female B) which would instantly shift the power of relationship for female A.

Polygamy would also mean, that most attractive females would probably demotivate less attractive females (and males) from the formalised relationships (as there is more very attractive females than very attractive males, therefore AAA males would have it the best, then a significant number of very attractive females would monkey-branch en masse and a lot of less attractive people would get robbed from resources (because that's how it would effectively work for all these average looking guys paying for attention or females doing long range trips after guys that live above their social ladder but smiled few times to them and asked for coffee once or twice). Sounds like a recipe for social disaster.

islam allows multiple wives... in a lot of Asian cultures in the not so distant past allowed wealthy men to have concubines and multiple wives. the trick was these men had to have resources to support these women.

depending on the environment, sometimes polygamy was beneficial to the tribe, country, etc... when all the men are killed in wars, when resources were scarce and only a few were able to obtain them, when most men died at the average of 30 due to the toils of everyday life, etc.. etc...

rarely in modern times, does polygamy make sense though...

This works if you are in some sort of tribal setup. Not so well if you live in a modern society.

People often hyper focus on one aspect of things in the past that may "sound good" without looking at all of the downsides that it has and how it would pertain to today.

Those people are usually the people who would be considered "radicalized" because they are unwilling to even consider anything that goes against what they believe no matter what facts are presented.

Monogamy reduces major social problems of polygamist cultures

In cultures that permit men to take multiple wives, the intra-sexual competition that occurs causes greater levels of crime, violence, poverty and gender inequality than in societies that institutionalize and practice monogamous marriage. That is a key finding of a new study that explores the...

What benefits are there for a woman that is involved in a polygamist relationship?

-She gets a man that has more resources? She's almost giving up monogamy to gain support/access to a man with greater resources that she could not obtain otherwise?
-She's bi and gets to have sex with the other wives as well as dihk on demand? lol

You want sister wives?
Sure... you know what happens when you get a group of women around each other all the time? All the periods start syncing up. No, they won't all be on their period at the same time. One will have pms while another is on the rag while another is just getting off the rag.
Sure, that sounds great right?
You know what else happens when you get a group of women around each other all the time? Drama.
We wish you luck with your sister wife colony away from civilization. We won't be able to read your posts since your civilization won't have the internet.

Wouldn't it just be easier to be a brother husband?
