Are men really polgamous?

uhm, polygamy is mostly referred to multiple marriages but I know what you mean. I've been one of the victims of cheating men lol... I don't really know why but I had learned from friends who also have bfs who are playboys. An yes some women are also playgirls. I had talked to some good guys who told me that some of their friends are proud of having multiple gfs at once. This made me think that some guys are not faithful to their commitments and so are some girls... It cannot be blamed to gender of human nature. Being faithful needs a lot of energy to avert from temptation but it still depends on a person whether he will keep his/her commitment on a relationship. The only bad thing about them is that they're proud of what they are doing and they don't even think of what the consequences of their actions might get them to. Some bad things that they sow might get back at them a thousand folds and I hope they won't get hurt real bad like how they had broken other people's hearts.

I have to say the definition of polygamy is ... po·lyg·a·my /p?'l?g?mi/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [puh-lig-uh-mee] Show IPA –noun 1. the practice or condition of having more than one spouse, esp. wife, at one time. Compare bigamy (def. 1), monogamy (def. 1). 2. Zoology. the habit or system of mating with more than one individual, either simultaneously or successively. So if we go with the zoology one then these people are polygamus and I don't think that it's tied down to one gender as you pointed out there are females that do this but I think it has to do with the values and morals of the people doing this and feeling that there is nothing wrong with this. I also have to say that there are some very faithful men and women. It all comes down to the moral fiber of each person and I have to say it but morality seems to be going out the window more and more these days.

It may be true several years ago, but these days it's quite different. I see and know women who cheat even if the guy is a very good provider. On the other hand, there are men who stick to one, yes they may have fantasies and such but they don't ruin their lives for just a few moments of weakness. I don't know but for sure they have their reasons, but I don't like to tolerate that. Though I'm still single, I have experienced being deceived like that several times, and for sure that's not okay when relationship is important for you, I may have forgiven him several times, but it doesn't mean I'd still forgive him if he does that still when we're married. It's tolerable if someone does that to you when you're still single, it's another thing when you both commit to be true to each other. It's a pain really, but if we keep on hiding from that 'reasoning' all the time as an excuse to our frailty, we'll always be comparable to animals, even so, they may be even better than us, would you want to be called an animal?

I believe God has created men with some advantages and privileges not given to women. The basic mental and physical tendency of a man is polygamous and that of a woman is monogamous. If a man, despite this natural and inborn tendency opts to live monogamous, he is elevating himself spiritually upwards. He may lose some thrills and fun in life, but he gains mental peace and tranquility in the bargain. On the contrary, if a woman tends to become polygamous, she is going against her basic nature and thus tend to acquire animal qualities. Women are more of emotional creatures than men. A fallen women suffers a lot more emotionally than a fallen man. The suffering of a family or a society is much more when a woman goes astray than when a man goes astray. This is not an area where woman should try for equality with men. If they do, not only do they suffer, but the society at large suffers too.

Yahp! Crazy it is. Polygamous is alright but you really should have used two timer or more to avid the confusion ha ha. Anyway, good thing you're an open minded person since you said in your own opinion that majority of men like to have many relationship at the same time, and that there can be men that aren't like this. Like in the Philippines, there are now thousands of marriage stories wherein either the man, the woman or both didn't have anyone else in their life. It just happens that women and also men unconsciously provoke others to play with them. I suggest you guys always remember to control your self and don't let other do.

It depends on individual motives.To me personally I dont believe in polygamous marriage i believe in one wife one family.Polygamous is dangerous.Infact it can shorten the life span of the man involved.Their is a popular saying which says one wife one problem more wives more problem.Its not possible to have equal love for all your wives,you have to love one more than the other which will create problem

By nature, men were meant to be polygamous! They were meant to mate with as many females as they could, and produce as many kids as they could and then die off in their early 30's! Females were meant to bare the young, raise them into their teens, kick them out of the nest and after their daughters start having kids, stick around for a little bit to teach them how to be good mothers then die off in their early 30's! Sad but true! The desire to mate in men was made so strong, that some would even kill or be killed to do it! (WE) started the rule of faithfulness and marriage and science and doctors has kept us living longer! No wonder things are a little off, we messed up Mother Nature!

Like Bella mentioned in her post (#5) one definiation of polygamy is.. 1. the practice or condition of having more than one spouse, esp. wife, at one time. that would be me...I have a husband and a boyfriend..one thing I need to mention is that generally polyamourous and polygamist ppl do NOT do it in secert....its a mututal agreement among all involved... that being said, "players", what you are talking about are not only men, there are women like that as well AND since we are talkign about men in particular...not all men are players..not by a long shot...and not evne the majority...it just happens that your female friends have unfortunately hooked up with the wrong types of guys...

i dont think its the nature of the men but sometimes they are pressured by their peers thats why they do it just to give an impression. most men feel their masculinity if they have all the girls they want, not even caring how a woman feel about what they're doing. they go directly to the temptation that comes their way. there are also situation where women are doing it. So i think it depends on the person if they want to be like that. its their own choice.

i wouldnt have more then one wife. or more then one g/f/. to me being a man is being devoted to one person. and if i had a g/f who was out laying down with any other guys, even a wife. kick them to the curb and get someone who can be faith to me. i had a ex g/f who she thought she could date others as she told me i wasnt allow to see no other females. yeah we didnt last long. broke up her kicked her to the curb and moved on.

I personally think that people regardless of gender or age,etc. should not have more than one partner unless all involved are aware of the situation. If people cheat, that means that they don't respect their partner and thats not a very nice thing!!

Polygamy is multiple marriages I thin what you are describing are playboys who like to have more than one girlfriend .. but it is not just men .. I have known women date more than one guy. I do not mind that as long as they are honest and let people know because then its open and you have decision to be one of many or not.

Many people say that's mostly the case but I have come to know of so many men who can actually stick to one. Polygamy also depends on the culture. In Christian belief, that is not practiced. Actually some women are also playgirls and would just love to play around. I think in modern times, women have slowly begun to equal men in that aspect in particular. Hehe.

each people are unique but in some case there had in common, like that, not only men are born to be polygamous, in our generation now, anybody can be polygamous. now, it is depend on you how to handle every thing you see. but for me, people tend to cheat because there not satisfid with there partner or maybe they just enjoying cheating or maybe because its challenge. but NOT all girls or boy are like that, there still some know how to stick to their partner. so when you found one. dont lose her/hi. got it?

yeah jankar you just ask yourself don't you like polygamy if you will get chance then. in my personal view its fun not all the time but its just like the dishes you can't eat only one dish at all time,. sometimes you prefer chicken to eat sometimes fish sometimes something else. in the same way no matter you have your girl frd or you have commitment to someone you will enjoy polygamy. but you can't really make it public or you will not disclose because its not treated as good practice in society. when it will be approved i guess everyone will try it. what say?

I think it is very unfair to tar all men or women by the actions of a stupid few. Personally I would never have an affair, the very thought of it disgusts me, and there are far more people out there like me than like this t.v playboy you are refering to. TV shows like jerry springer make people think everyone and their dog is a lying cheating fool, yet in reality this is not so much the case. People need to chill out and not assume people are guilty for something they have not done, just because someone else did.

I Mean my dad is one proof of that- that NOT all men are polygamous. =)
