Why is Polygamy Illegal?

[ketostix]

Anyway, polygamy may technically be illegal, but it doesn't stop high status men from taking advantage of all of the benefits.

All of you were wondering why you were having problems getting laid? There ya go. If one alpha male is banging it out with three or four at a time that doesn't leave much left for the beta crowd, does it?

I agree totally. But if polygamy were full on legal it would only make the situation increase. The "alpha's" would consolidate more women and everyone else would be left with fewer. This is what happens in polygamist societies, the "alphas" become an even more elite and smaller group and the betas become a larger and more betatized group. So I don't see why anyone who doesn't always have several desirable women hanging on them like Hugh Heifner would be for polygamy. An actually even someone who does, I don't see why they'd really want to be able to marry more than one woman.

If it is between consenting adults and everybody knows the score, then what is the problem?

Most men don't have enough money or time to support a family with ONE women, let alone multiple families with multiple women. The whole point of legal marriage is to make sure that young consumers are supported until they are old enough to work for/buy from the system. Plus, if you let someone marry more than one other person, then they'd all want the same familial tax-break.

And, of course, it's "immoral". For the same reason that contraception is immoral...because sex, in God's eyes, should be solely for the purpose of conceiving new tithe-able churchgoers.

It's all about the Benjamins, baby!

Isn't it always?

SO what you are saying is that you would rather have it in the shadows than out on the open....

I seriously doubt if it were to become legal that it would make much of a difference. I watch it happen in real life as we speak, it's just kept behind closed doors. Women are always going to flock to a select group of men, regardless of the legal landscape.

Well I can't agree that something done in the shadows wouldn't increase if it became socially acceptable. Anything that is socially accepted increases whether it's women being wh0res, feminism, divorce, dating older men, dating certain races of men, homosexuality, pedophilia, rape or what have you. The main reason you don't have polygamy is women themselves don't want it, and this one of the few instances that something women want actually benefits most men.

You have it backwards.

Women DO want it, that's why an unsanctioned version of it is happening all over the western sphere.

Oh they will never TELL you that they want it, because:

1) They don't even realize they do

2) It isn't "proper" to speak of such things

As with anything else, pay attention to what women do, not what they say.

I don't have anything backwards Str8up. I agree with a lot of things you say, but sometimes I think you theorize certain things to be true or you take an exception and think it's the rule. Women do not want to share their man with other women. The reason it's not "proper" like I said is because women don't want to share a man and his resources with other women.

And unsanctioned version of it is not happening all over. Women will compete over the same man but not for long. Most women do not know or do not want to believe they are sharing their man with other women indefinitely. They want to believe they are beating out every other girl. Most men who are dating mutliple women lie and and let the woman think they are exclusive. that has been the case with every other guy I know who is juggling multiple women. If what you were saying was true, spinning plates wouldn't be the headache it is in reality.

I agree that polygamy may cause some problems, but hey, it was their choice to get involved.

If this were ever to pass, obviously you would have to make it legal for men and women. I wonder how many women would want to have multiple husbands? And if any guys woukld actually do this??

 

[ElChoclo]

It is illegal because feminists want it to be illegal. They don't want it to be obvious that their doctrinal teachings are wrong and that women actually prefer to reside under the authority of a man. They know that there won't be for example, women with 4 husbands. They know that when certain alpha males acquire multiple wives the wives lose their 50% partnership rights. They then have no more rights than the other wives. If Bill Clinton had 4 wives, how would they have been able to select one to be the Democrat candidate? Luckily for Hilary, he only had her, so the choices were limited to her.

Women are wired for polygamy because it benefits women. It allows them to partake of high value male stock. This is especially true for lower value females who would not otherwise have this opportunity.

This doesn't mean that they are immune from the female biological imperative to have a good provider AND good genes, so cheating is likely.

Today's hookup culture is soft polygamy. Top tier males feed first, beta males get the scraps. Why do you think the PUA movement and even sosuave came about? Because of the cultural shift (led by women) away from the traditional family model into a culture that allows them much more freedom to fulfill their biological urges.

And unsanctioned version of it is not happening all over. Women will compete over the same man but not for long.

That chick that seemed to be interested but wouldn't have sex with you? 7 out of 10 times she DOES like you, but she's pining for another dude who is married or has three other girlfriends ahead of her.

Most women do not know or do not want to believe they are sharing their man with other women indefinitely. They want to believe they are beating out every other girl.

Key word- BELIEVE. The man lies to them and they lie to themselves.

Spinning plates isn't a headache for a very high value male. You think a famous actor or a rock star has to worry about picking up new plates? Of course not. One falls off and there are a dozen more ready to take her place.

And no, as much as guys would like to believe that it is only low class trashy women who behave this way, it's simply not true.

I know my wife does. She's mentioned a few times that she would love to have another wife around to help share the load (as she would put it). We have a great relationship and feel it would be even better with another in our life.

I wish I understood why polygamy is illegal and other alternative lifestyles are not. I'm talking about living with consenting adults btw.
