I specifically wrote we are roughly even with a less than 1% difference. I then suggested that perhaps the calibre of eligible men/women are what increases the disparity. You’re just mansplaining and repackaging what I literally just said 🫤.

The thorough emasculation of men* is going to be the female species undoing.

As a man that is not closed to being polygamous, I will be upfront about it with women I will deal with.
Tricking a woman into believing that she is going to be the one and only one just to surprise her down the line with a new wife is not the masculine or African way. My first wife and her family will know that there is a possibility that a second wife gets added to the team. I insist on possibility because I might decide to stay monogamous.
In any case, I will be honest and upfront. No games, no manipulation, no deceit.
u are a very real man, u are a legend in the making. May your legacy never die with you. Your bloodline won't go into extinction

1d. Also, polygamy is actually a burden on the polygamous man, because he now has more mouths to feed, and children and wives to take care of. His pocket has to be heavy.



Are these men been forced into it? undecided many of you men are polygamous by nature and ain’t satisfied with one pussy. Whatever burden it comes with ya all deserve it and even more hardship.
so out of all the point this is the only one you could reason with. The funniest thing is that you don't even understand this very point you quoted cos if you did, you write what you wrote here.

Although statistics has it that there is an almost equal distribution of the males and females on earth, many factors can easily disproportionate the ratio when it comes to marriage.

An instance is a yearly report from a state prison positing that there was a total of 44,876 inmates currently distributed among the various prisons in the state.

Among the 44,876 inmates, 44,471 are male, while 405 are female.

Many of them have already spent more than the supposed jail term for their crime in those confinements, yet they are still awaiting trial.

Dear ladies in the house, abeg any beta man wey you catch outside, beta hold am tight oo.

By undoing you mean not being married. Right ? Because I know that to you guys, that’s the worst thing that can happen to a woman. And when you see women who tell you they are happily single, it shatters your mind. You just can’t believe there are women whose existence do not center around finding and keeping a man. How confusing that must be

Unfortunately, reality disagree with you.

No, we are not roughly evenly distributed. It is not true and has never been true.

Ok, I will put it this way. The realities of men make an unequal availability of marriageable men compared to women. Depending on the society, a woman is pretty much available to marry at 18 years old.

It is not the same for men. For example, lots of Ukrainian widows have emerged whose husbands had died in the war, over 300k Ukrainian men died just within the last 17 months of this ongoing war.

And that's just war. Prisons, work death, low-value men, etc are all in the mix of the few available men, so how will all these women get married? In the West, they can just adopt and depend on social benefits, but the west is less than 15% of the global population.

So no, societal stability is burdened on men, and in many cases, men's lives are sacrificed for it. So there will always be a surplus of more women than men who wants to marry.

It is from this angle that Islam for example permitted polygamy, not for evanescent reasons.
it is a known fact that women outnumbered men in the society. You know how many soldiers dem kill for maiduguri, what about ibop soldiers, all these are men and some of them have wives.

pansophist i don't really think polygamy should be for only rich men or highly valued men if well planned, if both women are working in a case of 2 women to one man, they can both save three times faster to take care of their family. But all these pastors are coming for your head, Brace for impact bro.
wealthy men with wisdom should be the only people practicing polygamy. If one don't worth 60M to 100M,one should leave polygamy for rich men. Just my opinion, and sexual strengths should be 90%, that prowess should be enough to satisfy 2wives.

bullshit, when it’s open that the man can marry more than one woman and can marry the barren woman, widow woman, etc how then is it a breach of trust?

If he opens it up to her from onset before he makes her a first wife that he is polygamous, how is it breach of trust?
trust ? Maybe it is exponentially. But if you can't be just or equity ( between wives&children ), u will get problems, the one that may send one's to early grave. And the competition, jealousy and hatred the polygamy men will create for the children's will continue after their demise. The grand children and expanded family may tow the lines

Lmao. You are just looking for excuses to support your bias. I don't want to seem offensive, but my point is: reality disagrees with you. I'm a highly practical Red Pilled man and also a people watcher/Observer. Reality oftens disgarees with all this women solipsism and arguement of not needing men, in the real world, y'all need di.c.k and masculinity like your life depends on it. I can list numerous personal experiences, infact i've experienced women having to literally beg for association. You all's hypergamy won't just let you settle for low value men. I can easily search for an online article to support my assertions but you should get the point by now. REALITY IS DIFFERENT FROM ONLINE ARTICLES AND BIAS, IT JUST IS, WHAT IT IS.

I don't know that's is easy to tell a woman that you love and plan to marry as the first wife, that also you are marrying more after her
is not going to be easy , the love & trust drop by 50%. Any day u decided to marry another woman, have it at the back of your mind. There will be competition in the marriage, even if they bond well while you are alive, if you are no more, things may not be the same again. Women of understanding are rare

pansophist:
. When people think about polygamy, they imagine a young man getting married to two young women. They see it from the prism of his sexual vanity, and criticize why he is not content with one woman. But in reality, polygamy is a well-established method of human family formation and is present in every single society whether it is legislated or not. 

This class of women benefits from polygamy

1. Barren women. Most men will not marry a woman who can't bear a child for him. The alternative for such women is polygamy since the other wives can give him a child.

 2. Divorcees with children. Most men will always prefer a woman who has never been married before, but being divorced should not deny a woman marriage, and lots of men will not mind marrying such women as second wives and being step-fathers to their children. 

3. Widowers (especially with children): This is self-explanatory. 

4. Levirate wives; This is related to number three, but differs in the angle that a man marries his late brother's wife, taking care of her and the children. Giving them a home and protection.

1a. Now, bear in mind that there are more women than men. Men are responsible for most work death, and war death, most prisoners are men and men have to be established before getting a wife. A woman generally is ready to marry in her 20s. So with this reality, women will always be available in high numbers than eligible males. 

1b. Also, bear in mind that the West seeing polygamy as outdated is actually de facto polygamy. There is no difference between marrying one woman and sleeping with four outside. It is still polygamy. The women whom he didn't marry are the losers in the game since they will not enjoy any conjugal protection from him and the law. 

1c. Again, you should bear in mind that monogamy is successful in the West due to its wealth. The social system can take care of single mothers by giving them cash monthly. In other parts of the world, suffering awaits such women, in this case, polygamy transfers the responsibility to the man. 

1d. Also, polygamy is actually a burden on the polygamous man, because he now has more mouths to feed, and children and wives to take care of. His pocket has to be heavy. 

1e. Polygamy gives women the opportunity to team up and share a high-value man since these men are few in number. In dating, women share the same men, why not in marriage?

Most importantly, if polygamy is done rightly, it is equally as good as monogamy.



There are more men than women on Earth. Get your facts right.

Wrong wording of topic.

Polygamy is a system of marriage designed for men hence it can not benefit women the most. Infact, the other addition to a Polygamous man's harem is usually younger & more nubile. Using Ned Nwoko as an example, he doesn't check your readon while polygamy benefits women so the barren women, widows & divorcees around him are still there so his polygamy is of no benefit to them. And this pattern is repeated across Polygamous men all over Nigeria. Except for cultural reasons (levirage marriages), most polygamists pick younger women the more wives they pick.

It is saying feminism is created to benefit men or Red pill to benefit women.

However, certain women can benefit from a Polygamous set-up; some of the examples which you gave.

So a better topic would be 'the categories of women who benefit from Polygamy'.

P.S.: the women more than men narrative is not true according to world population stats.

A high value man and his brood. So is this polygamy done right?

Will the most ardent advocates of polygamy 'the high value men' seek out divorcees or barren women, or will they seek out younger women?

Polygamy especially in the poor countries you are referencing is not about marrying women who missed out for any reason. Like the west and trophy wives it is about getting access to younger more nubile women.

Also and more importantly there is a number of children you have at which point you are nothing more than a sperm donor. A classmate who was advocating polygamy when I asked who will raise this army of children said - it's the woman's job. And that on its own is another reason why polygamous homes can produce train wreck adults. No supervision from dad, and an atmosphere of competition means each wife will hide rather than tackle her children's issues. As any wife with a misbehaving child will likely be mocked by the others

This is correct but the problem with polygamy is that It cannot really be abolished. It is just like prostitution, It can never go away & it will always find a way to bounce back. Americans tried to abolish it but they have baby mamas every where now, an average American lady has 2 kids for 2 different fathers. In fact I stay up late nights to watch Kendra G on Youtube (A late night American dating show), majority of the women who come around are working class who has at least 1 kid. You'd almost never find a lady on the show without kids already.

Also remember that polygamy practiced in a backward nation such as Nigeria is having so many kids which is quite different from polygamy practiced by elites in the West. Bill Gates had a lady he spends some weeks with once a year, this continued for a very long time before the divorce. The same with Jeff Bezos, this is a common pattern within the US elite community. They care about the quality time they spend with this other woman & not number of kids.

So regardless of whether you support it or oppose it, It is never going away.

This is false, polygamy is uncommon in the west today because of the highly gynocentric nature of the western society. Most men lost their power and frame after the advent of the birth control pill in the 60's which shifted the power of sex to the feminine , i don't have much time to go into explaining this, but you're wrong. Many western men do want polygamy but can't get it due to the highly evolved gynocentric nature of their society, and most have been brainwashed to think about it as wrong.

In the west, it's not called polygamy.

YOu basically marry one officially, but fork many outside. Thats de facto polygamy. You can even have babies with the concubines. But legally to have two marriage certificates with two women at the same time? of course not.

I know one thing for sure, and it is that time, humble us all.

A man may dream to be polygamous, but with time, he will accept women will not do it with him, especially if he is not wealthy.

A woman may see herself as a diva, and too classy for most men, but like a ripe fruit, if she won't humble to marry and wait for her mr perfect, she will overripe and become less desirable, and even previous low-quality men won't want her.

So calm down, and resist the urge to shalaye. Life handles us all, offline grin
