How many wives. I know when you talk about polygamy; it is usually based in religion. This question is from a social point of view and not a religious one. It just seems to me that if 100% of the women are going to look at the top 20% of men, which I am not so sure on those stats, but they are used often and I want to use them as a familiar reference for everyone here. Add to this that there are a lot of women who will cheat to have time with a higher value man. This means they KNOW they are sharing with another woman and seem quite ok with it. And while men will cheat with a woman he knows has another man, the motivation seems very different; it is more along the lines that he does not have to worry about commitment. In the woman’s case, and since I am not one I may be floundering here, but it seems she would share and also seek commitment if it were not socially taboo. This brings me to a really weird question. Do you think women would readily give up the socially accepted norm to share a high quality man LTR? Now some women are just plain not going to share. They just aren’t. but this is the kind of conversation you would have like: “Do you want to have kids?”. See, I don’t think I mean the same things other people say when they say “love”. I don’t really believe at all in fantasy fairy tale love. That’s a joke played upon the sick world like “all you have to do is work hard and you will get ahead”. But I believe in the concepts that when you DRILL down to it make up love in long conversations. Otherwise, love is just what makes your undergarments wet. So with that in mind, Do you think the modern woman, in a society that allowed the “modern” to remain …. But had the social restraints removed ….. Would be in a multiple wives marriage??? I know the logistics …. And I know the complexity of this but imagine a woman who does not want kids … in a marriage with a guy who DOES want kids and another wife who does want kids? So she still gets the guy … kinda …. And they still get the kids.
