A study by OkCupid shows that women find 80% of all men unattractive. Meaning that to the average woman, the majority of men are unattractive besides the top 20% of men.

For the first time ever we are living in a democratic society, where 20% of men are getting all the women and multiple women are dating the same man at the same time without any complaints. Not only are women not complaining about this, but this is what they prefer, because they rather be with a high status man who fits the top 20% even if he has multiple women, than be with a man who is average or even above average but ready to commit to them.

So, I ask is this not what Islam has been saying all along?

In Islam, men are permitted up to four wives only if he can satisfy their sexual needs and provide wealth and resources for them equally. In other words, Islam makes it clear that the majority of men are incapable of doing this, because only men who are considered high status (who are now referred to as the top 20%) and have the money, the looks and the status for women to enjoy can fit this bracket. The majority of men cannot and will not.

So, polygamy is a blessing for women because if the top 20% of men are expected to marry in monogamy, then that leaves women with the other 80% of men who they find unattractive.
