Most men are monogamous or even celibate because they CANNOT get many women. Actually 90% of mamals are polygynys. You will need a source to show why humans are different
I've been thinking that perhaps white people are "different". May be they really are monogamous. I don't know.
In most species most men are celibate, or death. The few remaining is polygamous. Humans are not that different during war. During peace, well, it's tricky
Or look at lion. Do you have any doubt that lioness are as polygamous as tom lion?
If someone said, female lions are just open to casual sex as much as male lions and they also want to do it with many men, that would be quite ridiculous. I don't see how humans are any different
Replace lion with humans, sealions, seadogs, and 90% of mamals in the world it's getting pretty ridiculously obvious
Irk only elaborates on a possible interpretation. Are women more likely to be faithful or promiscuous. In wester civilization women may be more promiscuous than men. That's because you have a strange marital law where the government decides what the terms are.
A girl get knocked up by someone else and the husband is punished. On free market arrangement it doesn't usually happen. Nor will it happen in most of society in any culture. In most societies penalty for adultery is death. if not, rich men will simply not marry
In most ancient culture. I mean
Are men more suited to become celibate priest or cascrated or murdered? Well the answer is also yes but in a strange way. Competition is simply tougher among men. So more men are killed so the few that remain can get more women.
So how come the president of France, with the status of a monarch, cannot even get away with two women at a time? Inch by inch, from Odysseus to Figaro to Bill Clinton, Western mores have insisted on monogamy even for the powerful. Clearly the interests of high-status men and low-status women have lost out to the interests of high-status women and low-status men. -< from Matt Ridley. The men clearly wants more women. The society prevent that.
I don't even like polygamy. I hate marriage. But if someone ask if men wants many women? Obviously yes. I prefer sugar relationship actually
Which is a form of polygamy depending on how you define it
You know what. It's cultural. Men are more promiscuous than apache helicopter. It depends on the gender really. Who am I to think there are only 2 genders. Should have come up with more sources. Got it. Okay
Also in western civilization you have laws against prostitution. So women that wants casual sex can no longer sell it for free. Here, when laws are not enforced, they get money for it. They will hate you if they think you just want to fuck around for a few times.
