Polygyny/Polygamy II: Who Benefits from Polygyny? Part TWO

This is, in my weak speech, an explanation of the benefits of polygyny, lol.

I do much better typing and I probably should have typed it out before I got started. But whatever. I do much better typing, and much better in conversation lol.

This is PART TWO, please look to part one FIRST!

After listening to both videos it seems like a man has nothing to gain from this type of relationship. I don't think the benefits of multiple partners outweigh the detriments.

He is fully obligated towards all of the women, emotionally, intellectually, and financially. He has to deal with twice the stress of a normal relationship. It takes a great deal of integrity, compromise and communication for a monogamous relationship. It would take literally twice as much for more than one woman.

Well the man gets more nookie, lol. He gets more people making his plate for him. He gets to come home to a clean house ALL the time. But I don't have a hard time convincing the dudes about polygyny, lol. It's us women who feel we're gonna lose something rather than gain in the relationship.

Hmm perhaps I should make a video on how the man benefits in polygyny, since you said this... love your comment tho. Thanks!

Don't think it's for me.. But I think I will do a study on it

[DreamGyrl360]

It's lovely to study these things, is it not?

Please check out my other vids on the subject; they can give you more insight on it. Shalom!

What man do you know that will take on another mans children?

[DreamGyrl360]

Very interesting question, akhotee.

I actually know quite a few men who have taken on another man's children. In this day and age we have many abandoned women, whose "baby-daddies" either do not want the responsibility of a child or do not want to deal with the woman, specifically. As it is said, one man's trash is another man's treasure. :-)

[Genryuuzai]

If a single man has the kind of wealth which can support more than one wife and any children therein, he is likely already being pursued by plenty of women. I don't think sex is an issue. He can also afford a maid.

I don't see what would motivate a man to be responsible for the physical and emotional well being of two women. If my understanding is correct, it's the responsibility of the husband, not the co-wife) to resolve any issues.

More sex doesn't seem worth that kind of hassle.

@Genryuuzai it's actually scientifically proven that men in polygyny, despite the drawbacks, do live longer and are healthy later into life than men in monogamy. You know how we joke that men need to be babied? well it's true. when we are sick, everybody suffers in our families. poly families have division of labor on every level. not only do you have more people to help care for the family's health but there are more shoulders to cry on that understand.
