lawani: the issue IS.... majority of these so called POLYGAMOUS men are just low life men who cant be honest to their women about who they really are, and therefore they simply use the "POLYGAMOUS IN NATURE" nonsense to answer for their cheating ways (AFTER they get caught)....and its never about proud men who face their women and openly tell them to their face (when they 1st meet):"hey i am a polygamous man and you will be one of the many women in my life" a polygamous man has no problem telling a woman he just met that this is who he is a cheating man is a coward afraid of his woman, who crawl at the dead of night to go cheat, while pretending to be a one woman man. 2 Likes 1 Share |

1Sharon: How do you define "marrying"? In some religions/societies you are married to a woman if you are having sex with her. We are NOT discussing polygamy. We are discussing POLYGAMOUS by nature - tendency towards more than one sex-mate if there were no constraints whatsoever |
Re: Are Men Really Polygamous? by 1Sharon(f): 12:07am On Jul 01, 2023 |
DaddyCoool: Don't try and use semantics to win an argument. We all know what marriage is. Polygamous means related to polygamy and its the adjective of polygamy. Polygamy means marriage to more than one woman. No pluses or subtractions. The term you are looking for is promiscuity and not polygamy. Go and marry more than one woman first and come back and talk about how "polygamous by nature" you are. 2 Likes |

1Sharon: You are woefully wrong. A moslem told me that in Islam you can't have sex with a woman you are not married to but it was perfectly ok to marry her just before the act and divorce her afterwards. You are also wrong - polygamy in the sense we are using it on this thread is tendency to want to bed more than one woman - and photos are posted to buttress that fact! |
Re: Are Men Really Polygamous? by 1Sharon(f): 12:23am On Jul 01, 2023 |
DaddyCoool: Well are you a Muslim? Well that is promiscuity and not polygamy, also wrong. Why do you guys always claim polygamy after cheating? Why aren't you upfront from the beginning? You'd actually get more respect for being truthful. 2 Likes |

1Sharon: That's not the discussion. The discussion is NOT wether polygamy is right or wrong. The discussion is wether nature made men polygamous (remember, people did not make themselves!). Nature could have made it so once a man sleeps with a woman he'd only have eyes for her. It did not! |

DaddyCoool: Follow the thread, when i said wrong it was in response to you and OP using polygamy in the wrong context. Most men are not polygamous. If you are polygamous, go and marry more than one wife and come back and talk. 2 Likes |

Going with the biology u mentiined...sex is pleasure to the body and mind...and its naturally addictive becos we have hormones and our brain have receptors that keeps triggering us with the urge, weda u are a man or women.... So take or leave it....humans love variety of everything...especially fun & pleasure ......its our nature....unless we train our brain/nature which is where discipline comes in.... without discipline men and women are practically the same... driven by impulses, desire, and survival 2 Likes |

advanceDNA: You are TOTALLY wrong on all counts: ● The discussion is how they are NATURALLY wired, NOT what they would do under lack or need. Women who won the lottery or inherited large sums don't keep a harem of boys unlike men ■ And men are also having side chicks everyday. Questin is, if there were no constraints would most men choose to be with only one woman? Notice how "side chick" isa popular term and there is no such popular term vis â vis women. High achieveming men sleeping around is what actually prompted the thread ■■ A woman conceives once every TWO YEARS or so, while a man can impregnate several women in ONE DAY!! A man guarantees some of his genes would survive by putting it in several women, not just one. A woman is by taking good care of the few she has, giving them good genes by sleeping with successful men, and getting a man to stay with her exclusively and take care of them with her! Nature also uses that scenario to ensure the best genes are pass on to the next generation. ●● Vast majority women don't want variety of sex partners. They want ONE man exclusiv |

In my opinion, humans are created without religion or culture. That's why we have several religions and cultures in the world. Suffice it to say therefore that a man by nature is polygamous. There's what you called self discipline that some men and women possessed. It's this self discipline that restrained man or woman from committing crimes of all callings. There's difference between nature and discipline. |

How an organism behaves is partly based nature's wiring and mostly environmental factor.....but somehow u want to tell me how women will behave without considering existing environmental realities.. okay oooo Mayb uve not thought about it....societal standards that slut shame women is what makes lots of women not behave like a slut.......... its what make women not approach men..... u think women dont want to fvck when they see cute men?? So all these young women with multiple guys are what?? Bingo?? Oga u know know wetin you dey talk....there is hardly a man that doesnt have a story of catching his babe with another man multiple time especially babes of age 18-28..... Women only opt for one male...when they want to get older and want to marry because society demands it so ......its the same society Standards that make men want to marry too even though can run around with plenty females for life.... men are not sexually different from women.... u are just choosing to see what u like... 2 Likes 1 Share |

khadaffi: Interesting update about the lives of lower primates. To add, the major scientific reason is testosterone. The hormone makes a man produce millions of sperm cells daily. The most enjoyable and effective means of dispensing these cells is via sexual intercourse. So, biologically, a man is not supposed to have sex with only one woman for the rest of his life. In Davido's case, vasectomy solves the issue. |

Married women are the new side chicken destroying marriages if you don't know. Humans are insatiable and selfish creatures. People who chose to be faithful and not polygamous do so by their choice and self control not cos there is one design somewhere making them not to. Men and women alike can be polyamorous, just that the society and religion allows men to be free with their lack of self control and even praise it they don't have to hide it like some women do 1 Like |

Kayceenaz: Thanks for such thought-provoking and timely discourse. Permit me to answer using Scriptures. 1. There are 2 categories of people; The saved and the unsaved. One who has encountered Christ and one who hasn't but simply religious or anti-religion. 2. Every man who has not encountered Christ is a victim of the curse of the fallen Adam. Struggling to survive and Lack of self control. Unless he finds Grace. Gen.3.17 - Then to Adam He said, "Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, "You shall not eat of it': "Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life. 3. The fallen woman is bound to love and cling to a man even to her destruction. She can't control it because she also suffers lack of self-control. It is the curse on Eve. Unless she finds Grace. Gen.3.16 - To the woman He said: "I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; In pain you shall bring forth children; Your desire shall be for your husband, And he shall rule over you." The fallen Adam however is bound to be polygamous in nature because any successful man will be clinged by women. It is the way the curse operates. Isa.4.1 - And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, "We will eat our own food and wear our own apparel; Only let us be called by your name, To take away our reproach." 5. It is the saved man and woman who have encountered both the saving Grace and the transformative Grace of Christ that can have the Power to break the curse and live a blessed and fruitful monogamous marriage. Monogamy is not a yardstick that one has broken the curse. A peaceful home is the yardstick and it is Love and Submission that accomplishes this. It is only in Christ that every curse is fully broken. May God grant us blessed marriages and peaceful homes. May God also in his mercy help repair and restore marriages of his children in Jesus name because He will build his homes/church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against them. And even the legal captives will be set free, says the LORD. Amen. |
Re: Are Men Really Polygamous? by itzsammyd: 7:46am On Jul 01, 2023 |
My answer is YES!!! Before you crucify, I won't justify the actions of cheating on your spouse when you can actually marry second wife and still counting 🤣... Men are polygamous in nature since the days of our fore Father's and their purposes were for more work force on their farmland through the use their offspring but due to jealousy and hatreds amongst mothers, that's why some mothers are not always happy with the success of their rivals children.. if this end point justifies that it is wrong to marry more wives, don't forget that siblings from the same mother still hates on each other. When the Europeans also came to Africa, bringing a system of marriage to one wife, we also tried to embrace, neglecting our old ways of marrying more than one wife but forgetting that European way of polygamy is seen in their divorce.... That's where the use of Step Father, Step Mother and Step Children as English came to be. With this few points of mine, I think I am able to convince you not to confuse you that we men are polygamous in nature 🤪[b][/b] |

DaddyCoool: Well I don't know about men being polygamous. Maybe it depends on family. I grew up in one of the worse ghettos in Nigeria, worse in a face me I face you. Sex is cheap and easy to get but I think the key to me being reserved is my father. That man carried his family on his head like say tomorrow no dey. Growing up, I always saw him shuttle between work and house, doesn't drink or keep late nights. I never saw them fight, they didn't even flog any of us till this age. I am 31yrs and still do not know what being flogged by parents means because the highest we got was punishment (go sleep, go inside, kneel down, raise hand) na my brothers, neighbors and teachers dey flog us then. You are free to go out but you must tell someone where you are going to and must Be back before 6pm. Till today, anywhere I am going, I send my fiancee a live location on whatsapp, I also still return home latest 8pm. It is the same with my elder siblings. None of us drink, smoke or even live wild lifestyle 1 Like |

Re: Are Men Really Polygamous? by DaddyCoool: 8:47am On Jul 01, 2023 |
advanceDNA: This thread is about NATURAL wiring/inclination NOT circumstances. You talk naively. You totally forget BIOLOGY!! Men and women are biologically very different, and unbeknownst to them most of their basic inclinations are from that biology! The most basic primal urge of a living organism is the need to survive and to have their genes survive and passed on. We didn't make it so, we don't know why it is so - we met it so! For a man the surest way to assure some of his genes survive and passed on is to spread his seeds into several women, not just one. On the other hand, a woman sleeping around has no such advantage. She can only conceive about once every two years no matter how many men she sleeps with! So her strategy to have some of her genes survive and passed on necessarily have to be very different! |

khadaffi: In some ancient societies, brothers share wives when there is shortage of women. I have heard of a case in ancient Britain. However men die in war and women generally are war booty and if you have enough women in your clan, your next generation is assured. When men die in wars, you have excess women and you then need polygamy but the average man in most human society has always been monogamous. Harems were meant for Kings and big men. Nowadays war has reduced and what should be acceptable is monogamy 1 Like |

advanceDNA: I'm sorry but Mr advanceDNA, you're very wrong on this subject. There are core part of humans that whatever society they are, It will be constant. Hypergamy is one of them, regardless of the society, region and base, women will always want men who have more status, make more money, more wisdom or is powerful. Hence they always flock around those that fit this requirement. According to Nypost, Tiger Woods had 120 affairs, including one with young neighbor. Those women wouldn't even mind being the number 25 or 100 on the roaster, they all want him. Some of those women are regular people, cashiers and restaurant servers etc. Reference: nypost.com/2010/04/29/tiger-woods-had-120-affairs-including-one-with-young-neighbor/ This has nothing to do with society! Men love Quatity, Women love Quality. Women on the other hand want the top echelon of men, not all men. They only want the prim & proper, the La cream the La cream of men. Jennifer Lopez is an example, she is sexually liberated but her sexual liberation is ONLY for top class men. No female celeb will you find sleeping with random men, they ONLY sleep with top guys. Quality over Quantity! Men can sleep with any lady, beautiful or not. Famous or not. Even dirty House Helps! But women will ONLY droll over cute men / TV or Music stars ! They only give their body to the best! Someone like Portable is having women ONLY because he is a famous star, without the star quality, No woman will even touch him with a pole. Can you see the difference?! or you're still denying reality. I have given you examples with Facts and reference, I hope you can do the same. |
Re: Are Men Really Polygamous? by lawani: 12:55pm On Jul 01, 2023 |
Kelechi009: Men too when choosing choose quality first others are for recreation, same applies to women, some women sleep with men and still pay them money, that is why we have gigolos but when choosing a special one,everybody man or woman will choose the best but the idea of best with everybody does not always begin and end with money. There must be value and that value is not always money. If you say hypergamy is about value I agree with you but it applies to both men and women alike. After choosing people cheat and it applies to both men and women and you are wrong to say only men can sleep with anybody. Almost all men have at one time or the other being seduced by older females, it may be as a boy or as a young man and in most cases, the lady just wants sex. 1 Like |
Re: Are Men Really Polygamous? by Kelechi009: 1:44pm On Jul 01, 2023 |
lawani: 1. The women who sleep with men & pay, aren't they older women who have no options? 2. Have you ever seen a young beautiful woman in her 20s paying a man to sleep with it? 3. Who has paid to sleep with you? How many of them? If a lady is seducing you, It means you are the best she is attracted to. To HER, you're the best she is seeing. If other men come toasting her, she will not allow them. There is a difference. The reason why Female prostitution sells & male prostitution does NOT sell is because MEN can sleep with anything! Women don't do that! Even if a lady just want sex, she will still NOT sleep with you if she does NOT find you WORTHY. You have to be worthy of her body, there is a big value on it. Except she is prostitute or hookup girl. When a man wants sex, he goes out to pick any nonsense random girl. Women don't do this, except for few exceptions. |
