POLYGAMY!!!!!!!!! Who's up for it?
« on: July 10, 2007, 10:59:06 AM »
Last night I was channel-surfing, and HBO had a show on polygamy (part of the promotions for "big love," i guess) . . . and they interviewed some women who were living in "plural marriage." A couple of them looked exactly like your suburban MILF types.  Pretty, to begin with, carefully dressed, and they spoke like educated people . . . and they were very much in favor of it.

P.S. there were also some horror stories, but apparently they're from the 'far out' polygamists, not your everyday salt-of-the-earth types.

So, think about it . . .  how would you like someone to share the burdens/joys of being a wife?

From a guys point of view.
One wife is hard enough to handle, maybe a concubine or two but they may not be in the same house, when it comes to wives there can be only one (just like highlander) LOL  ;)

well, one wife is too much for most guys b/c, quite frankly, a lot of women in our great nation have terrible attitudes (probably comes from being spoiled as kids).  but these Mormons are all about hard work and living "right," so they're not going to give you half the trouble as a woman who wants to buy $1200 shoes and then say that you're always working.

Just met one or two... nothing to do with me  ;D

One at the gym, kept trying to tell me how terrible it was...then next thing I knew, on A&E there he was, polygamy special.  :-\ But I think it was because he couldn't take his life as it was.  :)

Plus, I volunteer a lot... 


Nothing to do with paramedics...

You do love STella... finally you admitted it. But she is married, so...  :)

Algernon. I really don’t see anything romantic in proposing. It is very romantic to be in love. But there is nothing romantic about a definite proposal. Why, one may be accepted. One usually is, I believe. Then the excitement is all over. The very essence of romance is uncertainty. If ever I get married, I’ll certainly try to forget the fact.



if i ever have a son..i'll name him bunbury!

o btw..bunbury ws one of my old handles...back when you could change em at will  ;D

Polygamy isn't just multiple wives, ...it could also mean multiple husbands too.  :P

Higamous, hogamous, woman is monogamous,
Hogamous, higamous, man is polygamous.


Everyone I have known in a triad, bear family, or polygamous relationship has broken up in short order.  That’s not to say it cannot work, but I have never seen it work for any amount of time that leads me to believe it is viable.  Among all the guys I have seen, such relationships are usually a prelude to a break up.  :(

It's kind of a stupid question for this forum.

Mormons, Muslims, Kenyans, etc... whose beliefs allow polygamy are already indoctrinated. To those women, it's a religious belief and modern (for lack of an appropriate word) women have no perspective on the idea. In those belief systems male/female roles are very fixed and a marriage has little to do with sex or attention from a man. And love is more related to how ones duties are carried out as opposed to romantic notions.

I wouldn't insult anyone's intelligence and pretend that polygamy doesn't originate from male dominated cultures where women aren't 'valued' by American/European standards but one has to wonder why/how it has worked so well for so long. I'll grudgingly agree that threesomes don't generally work well but they're mainly about sexual power. One can't legitimately compare a threesome (where one person is wielding more sexual power) to polygamy.

My guess is polygamy offends some North American women due to the fact that many women (due to their antiquated value system  :)) have found contentment performing what 'liberated women' consider diminished roles. Their concepts of what a marriage is have nothing to do with what typical North American women aspire to.

That would never happen! LOL


Wait unless the guys were able to go out and spread seed elsewhere. Men are not wired to share their  woman or women it goes against our natural instinct to protect and pass our seed along. I wonder if there is a stat for how many men have been killed by their lover's husband man or vice versa? I would bet it would be higher for men.
