This person's argument resembles that of Communists: If we share property we will all in general become better off. This kind of logic has been proven wrong already. It leads to free-rides. If I wont even know my own child I wont care about any of the kids. It may have worked 10,000 years ago but we're smarter now. We know the meaning of self-interest. You underestimate the selfishness of educated humans. Read more Nietzsche. You need exclusivity to create an incentive for individuals.

Everyone please listen. I am an endangered species. I am married to my wonder wife and we have only been with each other, What do i mean exactly? Me and my wife were virgins when we first had sex and have only had sex with each other since. We have an unbreakable bond and our lives are filled with love and an unbreakable bond. Everyone seems to be fucking everyone these days and everyone is wondering why everybody is so messed up. There is a method to the madness when it comes to monogomy.

I've seen too many fights over the "right" to have sex with someone, too many people thinking they're worthless just because their friend decided to screw someone else, too many great relationships ended over what society would have us believe is a moral weakness. There's simply too much value placed on sex. I want sex to be devalued so that we can focus on things that actually matter in a relationship (you know, care, support, forgiveness, understanding?). Promiscuity does exactly that.

MONOGAMY ALL THE WaY!

@SpearofDestiny0 when I said monogumus at the end, that was an accident, I meant to write promiscuous. both men and women are biologically promiscuous, what I meant to say was that it's a steryotype that women are biologically monogumus, we're not. this myth has been busted many times. you are completely right.

[SpearofDestiny0]

@caleb6868 - then you just have sex and companionship, where its longevity is almost always based on factors which change. 

[SpearofDestiny0]

@channingwalters - that's great for you, but it doesn't work for everyone. You were always an endangered species, monogamy was never the norm. For millenia men had numerous wives, and premarital and/or extramarital affairs have always existed.

@hot6235 - it's not a stereotype, its a truthful generalization based on our human biology. Not only is monogamy not natural for human beings, it's not natural for most mammals. We are not wired for such, it is a chosen lifestyle imposed by society. By itself, monogamy has no bearing. To each his own.

@kishakisha17 - there are many children who do well without the nuclear family model. As long as they are provided for. Your stereotype that children can only be happy, safe, and/or successful via the nuclear family model is outdated.

[hot6235]

so true

there's a steryotype that men are biologically promiscuous and women are biologically monogogus. that's wrong. men and women are biologically monogumus.

[caleb6868]

Okay but what if children don't enter the picture ?

[Buntzums]

I don't know what exactly this argument is but it has no supporting evidence. I do know that it would not be a natural activity for me personally to partake in any form of promiscuity so perhaps certain people carry these genes and others don't.
