It's funny how guys who don't even have one wife wish for polygamy as if that's somehow going to cause them to suddenly have multiple wives. No, you would have even less women. The "king" and his associates and relatives would have all the women. Things like polygamy and "kings" were done away with long ago because they create all kinds of problems. Seems like to me a lot of people are still stuck in a pre-Middle Ages peon mentality and they think that's alpha.
The premise of your statement is sound, but it only accounts for "legitimate" polygamous arrangements.
What we have today is essentially "polygamy without the vows". The men at the top STILL procure preferential access to the poon, it's just not polite to acknowledge such things, much less speak of them.
I've have several friends who are married or in LTR's who cheat and have "mistresses". Know what the common denominator is? They are ALL high value males. Wealth/success/power. They can get away with it, so they do.
The most extreme example is my buddy who does well for himself financially, but also has "family" money. He's one cool cat, and he's smooth with the ladies.
Up until a few weeks ago, he had (get this), a LIVE IN EX g/f, and an LTR at the same time. Yea, he was fukking the ex. I know....I messed around with her a few times and didn't get past a couple of fingers.
No doubt the LTR KNEW he was doing the ex, but the fact that my buddy is a "catch" allowed her to overlook a lot of things. This brings a famous Pook quote to mind....
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?
