The world is about 1.01 male/female at birth, but much less .7 for 65 and over.

Quote:@shoju
'icky'? As a men it would not seem very awful to have, say 5 women Smile Of course I don't have the salary for that (coming back to Bolty's point)
Money. Time. Patience. Competence. Pick one. I know for me... I can hardly keep up with one woman.

Quote:But let's stop talking to ourselves here. We all now that polygamy is only a thing among (a) religious group(s) in which it is very clear that men and women are not equal, the rest is just useless babble about our rights and what the government can and cannot around a topic that is off almost no importance.
This is your hang up. There are many societies around the world that are semi-matriarchal (egalitarian) or unusual to our standards. But, even so. It's their religion, and their society, so who are we to impose a European standard upon them?

The problem was that wealthy men would accumulate multiple wives, leaving fewer women for the rest of the population.
In a "free" society, shouldn't men and women (religiously motivated or not) be able to choose mates for themselves? I'm really ok with people being able to practice "sexual selection" whether that is cognitive, or biological. In full disclosure, I happen to know some friends of friends who are in long term "poly" relationships and not swingers. I went to one of their parties once and it kind of blew my mind. But, hey, live and let live. I guess if you live long enough, and get out of the house once in awhile you are bound to have your mind blown on occasion.

Quote:I still remember the other thread where most people were actually quite OK with the US government spying on the whole world...
Acknowledging it is "probably" happening is one thing, but I doubt we'd condone it when faced with the details. Especially when it's directed at friends and good neighbors.
