I just read something about it from the news and wonder how people feel about it. Obviously, the practice is still around even today. I don't believe in polygamy because it will create a lot of hostilities in the family; monogamy is hard enough .. lol
Well polygamy hasn't become a huge issue... Usually more of a remote area and is relatively small... Nonetheless, I believe it's fine as long as both party accept these practice
i know monogamy is hard on the guy... but i can't say i can accept polygamy... having an affair is one thing... but letting another woman stepping into a home i built with my man is another...
lol i was about to put sth about polygamy then u did it. i read an article in my midterm, "My Husband's Nine Wives" by Elizabeth Joseph. To me, what she's saying in the article & in the interview is quite selfish. She said "polygamy is good feminism" --- WATT? i'm getting the message from her that polygamy allows women to fulfill the obligations of being a wife as well as being successful at work. The wives have to make appointments to meet the husband, cus usually he's booked. Then she said she's tired most of time when she got home and "...there is also the longing for intimacy and comfort that only he can provide...I ask to be with him." <--- is she saying the job of a husband is just to provide financial support to the family and have sex with the wife? The following are some of her "good points": "It offers men the chance to escape from the traditional, confining roles that often isolate them from the surrounding world." "More important, it enables women, who live in a society full of obstacles, to fully meet their career, mothering, and marraige obligations. Polygamy provides a whole solution." "I believe American women would have invented it if it didn't already exist." "Polygamy is the one lifestyle that offers an independent woman a real chance to 'have it all'". "Why shouldn't you or daughters have the opportunity to marry the best man available, regardless of his marital status?" If she wants to be independent and still share a life w/ her man, she should just be w/ that man not marrying him. and of cus i dont believe in polygamy, just not to be offtopic, i don't like to share tbh lol and sharing a man w/ many others just a no-no-no-no
^ i wasn't into it at first but after reading your article, i think she brought up some good points. for her: 1. work and fun = no need to hire babysitter, other wives can take care whilst time off 2. doesn't need to solely responsible for the household - cook, clean, etc .. when there are others to share the responsibilities. for him: 1. no need to see the same woman every night or hear the nagging 2. different flavor .. lol 3. worry free about house chores and kids. everyone has different beliefs and practices but the bottom line is that you're happy. at the end of the road, what we really after in life is real happiness, isn't it?
so r u saying u feel better about hearing different women nagging every night?? -lol polygamy isn't the same about hiring a domestic maid... u need to fill a husband's role times how many women u have...
although it sounds attractive for a guy to have more than 1 woman, if you're a caring guy, there's no way you can be caring enough for more than one woman seriously... i've got a gf and i already have my hands full if i were to fulfill all her needs/wishes (and no i'm not talking about her sexual needs)
Some religions or cultures see it as alright, but considering our society today, I don't think it would work out peacefully, since the women will not accept having to share her man, in most contexts. Neither will the men probably be able to put up with many women at the same time
already posted in here but posting again: how about this... for the ones who want polygamy, if you want to have multiple women for yourself, as a guy... then you shouldn't mind your women to be with multiple guys as well. if you can do that, then all is fine i guess i'm a guy btw.
it depends... if the guy is a rich guy and i have decided to be a gold digger then i wouldnt care but given that i know i am not a gold digger... no i can't accept polygamy coz i wouldn't accept the fact that the love ain't set to me and its not all to me...
I'm a guy and i'm all for it . Guy is gonna get bore if he only have sex with one partner all the time.
you can share all the things in the world but its hard to share love....if everyone is in this for personal gain then it works out for everyone, if not then it just makes it more difficult
Awesome idea, but in my mind it consists of hot babes that look either like Jessica Alba and Megan Fox.
