My friend wants to marry more than one woman

Before our recent conversation that led me to creating this post. My
friend told me to read content on RPC to improve my odds with women
and to improve myself as a man for Christ.

Now from what I have read here it seems the core of the message is
become a strong man for God. Serve to expand God's kingdom by
sharpening other men to build them up and spread the gospel. And that
attraction will naturally follow for a healthy marriage as God created
it to be. Including the fact it should be between one man and one
woman.

My friend however now rejects the idea of limiting himself to one
woman. He doesn't believe in being a sniper for dating or marriage. He
instead claims a man should always be a shotgun. So he is going to
marry more than one woman to maintain dread. Since he burns with
passion and understandably can not resist the impulse to have sex for
the rest of his life.

I told him Jesus Christ in scripture outlined clearly the Godly
standard is one man becomes one flesh with one woman. And that 1
Timothy 3:2 should be our standard for marriage.

My friend answered with Ecclesiastes 7:28 and said the women of modern
times are done. Meaning he basically expects them to commit adultery.
For they will not truly respect a husband that actually commits to
them alone. And will covertly see you as weak no matter how much power
or wealth you gain. If you are not willing to dump them in a hot
second for another woman. His biblical answer to this is to marry at
least two if not three women to deal with this reality.

I pressed him on this until he flat out told me trusting a single
woman with all your eggs is foolish. And that he wants at least some
biological offspring that don't end up getting the shaft by some woman
that decides to upend it all. With divorce and the family court
system.

I am not blind to his grievance. I understand where he sees this as
there are a lot of broken family's now. It's even considered normal by
too many in church. When this culture should be condemned for the
damage mass at will divorce has brought upon society. And since things
are only getting worse instead of better. Could my friend's solution
actually be correct?

I ask this question because if he is wrong then no one other than men
here can correct him. As he will not accept correction from any pastor
or other Christians on the issue.

But if I am still blind in some way here. If he is actually correct.
Then my question is how on earth do I in my walk with God. Actually on
a pragmatic and spiritual level manage to deal with two or more
wife's?
