		<description><![CDATA[Competition anxiety...the fear of beta&#039;s if polygamy was legal....How do we explain the benefits?

My wife is pro polygamy, and wants complete submission to me, and I get sex however I want and whenever I want. She made a post about men being designed and programmed to have many women. And women are designed to be with a man that has sexual options.

Housewifesexuality.wordpress.com

We understand that from a PUA standpoint committing to polygamy at all would be ridiculous, simply because:

if men are getting poon for free now, and it is legal - why would PUA&#039;s pay a HUGE price for poon that is ILLEGAL??

But say you believe that sex is to be kept within bonds of matrimony - and polygamy became legal in a few years time - how would society look like?

A man who is not married commented:


&gt; Mr. Darling, you seem to be confused on the point. Men are programmed to be capable of monogamy. But that doesn’t mean that monogamy isn’t ideal. Jesus was fairly clear in the gospels that the union of a man and a woman was the ideal form. The OT permitted polygamy, it didn’t encourage it. The reason why is because when you have a high male mortality rate, polygamy is necessary to ensure that the birthrate of the “tribe” stays somewhat level. Without polygamy he tribe could disintegrate. For our survival as a species polygamy was necessary to program into men. But that doesn’t mean we should encourage it as a society. In fact, polygamy (while necessary in some circumstances) is pretty much incompatible with advanced civilization, because it locks too many men out of having wives. Without that impulse, men not only will not produce surplus goods for society, but they will probably actively rebel against it.


This seems to be a common belief though. Is there any rational sense to his belief?

Could society improve in some ways, and feminism be halted to a certain extent, when women in polygamist marriages will seem to be happier, and children in polygamist marriages would be healthier than children born out of wedlock and in emotionally broken marriages ??
  That would suppose that all parties are loyal, and maybe that would need a strong religious conviction.

We&#039;d like to explain to the general public that with polygamy, competition anxiety would play a role, and therefore women would in general keep the tingles and want to make it work, since he would in most ways be alpha to her and not need her.

Healthier marriage, would you not think?

If you will allow it, we&#039;d love to use your answer as a third party point of view, or let it be a guest post. :)

		<description><![CDATA[Rollo, 

I just stumbled onto your blog a week ago. This is the best writing on human nature that I have ever seen. Too often, authenticity and discipline are looked upon as some sort of esoteric, specialized concepts. This blog synthesizes their effect into everyday life in a way that anyone can understand. I have been taking my own, self-deduced dosages of the red pill for the last 5 years and it is rather amazing to see so many of the same conclusions spelled out in a cogent, written manner. You are truly doing God&#039;s work for many men who are unfortunately blind to the reality of our world.  

I am going through a divorce right now, which I initiated earlier this year after putting up with 3 years of my wife turning our home into a battleground in front of our son. While I wanted to leave her earlier, I was wracked by guilt over breaking up the family. However, at some point, I realized that the only thing I truly cared about was living my life in the way that I wanted and was proud of. When the words &quot;I want a divorce...we are done&quot; came, they were not planned. Rather, it was a powerful blaze that erupted from within and when they came out, I stood there, in calm acceptance of what I was doing with no desire to take them back. I woke up the next day and skipped to the office, saying to myself &quot;this is the first day of the rest of your life&quot;. My relationship with my son is now 20x better than before the divorce. The optimism of freedom and knowing that you control your happiness are contagious feelings that make everyone happier. I have not started dating yet (much better to do it after the papers are signed) and that will be a learning experience like anything else. However, dating, like anything else in life, it is just a matter of staying true to oneself and never letting fear or other artificial barriers overtake our senses. All that matters is the subconscious approval of the man you see in the mirror.
