Question.........If two women wanted to live with you as three.....would you consider it....or run.

Why I ask.....

My SO has a regular 9-5 now and I work 5pm-1am to avoid a sitter for two kids under 8 yrs.....

A friend half joking suggested she move in.....she works nights....and I can go back to 9-5......

a trial for 3 months?......yes .....no?
 
I would do anything to avoid nights,and so you are sacrificing what,lol.
 
If you are ever even tempted to consider multiple wives, watch a few episodes of the HBO show "Big Love". You will never want to get a second wife under any conditions, at least I don't anymore.
 
I think polygamy is ideal for some situations, it would put a dent in the escort industry.
There are men and women who would welcome shared duties in all areas of the home. It wouldn't be taboo if it was more commonplace in society.
I think allowing gay marriage opened the door to redefining our laws if we choose to.

When I was in the US a few weeks back I watched a couple of episodes of that show. That is one really different lifestyle, from a guy perspective it might seem intruiging but the way the women are treated is just a little wack. Odd thing, in that at the same time they were showing stuff on the news about that polygamist pedophile guy from Colorado City, Arizona where that break away sect of Mormons run the town. They seem to be even more of an oddball cult than the scientologists.
 
If they both worked I could live with it
 
In many animal packs, there is one male to muliple females -- this is because the pack can't afford more than one "sperm sprayer" as the females do the bulk of the hunting, etc.

For modern humans, though, the most efficient set-up is one female to multiple males. The males can bring wealth and resource into the family while the female/home manager is limited with respect to the frequency that she can bear children. Fewer children + more family contributors = family affluence.

The affluent human family of the future will include a single wife home/family manager and multiple husbands.

Men who don't rate or who haven't managed to secure a position in a wife's household will continue to be reliant upon sex workers, as will men who need more than their home situation will offer.

Another advantage of this model is that men will be able to keep a bit more of their income for personal use, and still make an honourable contribution to their families.

Two guys for each woman makes sense sexually, just like battery packs for a cordless drill.
While one is givin' 'er, the other can be recharging. :rolleyes:
 
A man needs four wives.

1. good looking, for sexual purposes only
2. looks irrelevant, to bear and raise kids, cook clean etc
3. pleasant looking, a friend to talk to, travel and share hobbies with
4. good looking, for showing off in front of co-workers, at parties etc. Can also act as back up to #1 during her monthly visits

And he also needs to be able to support all that PLUS support any children he fathers.

It's a nice male fantasy, but it's not practical. Not enough revenue, too many dependents.

Better if each revenue producer needs only give some percentage of his income to the family to ensure familial wealth, while still allowing him some financial freedom.

It comes down to a choice between ego and common sense, really, on the part of a man. Obviously men have never had a problem being "one of many" with a woman (as evidenced by participation here). Now we only need ask, would a man rather be one of several contributing to an afffluent household that, in turn, offers him benefits and freedom? Or would he prefer to lord over an impoverished household that plays to his ego??

I think most men these days are smart enough to make the right choice.

Sloppy fourths? No thanks. The whole mental game we men play, while visiting SP's, is that they were virgins until our session started. Or, that we are at least the first client of the day!! lol.

I would be shocked if a guy would be willing to pay a retainer to one woman, in order to be one of her "husbands". Egos aside, aging differences aside, it wouldn't make financial sense. Why pay a woman a portion of your income for regular access, when you can keep all of your income to yourself, then pay an SP a much smaller dollar amount on an as-required basis. That also provides the option of variety. By having multiple SP's available to me (or multiple wives, each one presumably younger than the next), I get the variety and the constant renewal. Your option has me paying for a woman who would be pregnant pretty much all of the time, with who knows whose kids.

As well, I don't want to share my house with another guy, or a bunch of other guys. I want my own place, full stop. And it's only partly ego that drives that. You're talking about communal living, and most Canadians balk at that idea, no matter how big the commune may be. Yuck. And finally, we are wired to want to bring our own offspring into the world, that's why we compete for women - to ensure it's our seed that takes root. Keeps the species going.

A nice male fantasy? Sure. But the shared wife scenario is a nice male nightmare.
 
As long as you can afford it, that's great.

But many Canadian men I know pay for serial monogamy (through child support and community property settlements) anyway -- wouldn't it make more sense to pay into something that you continue to have access to?


I think it's the way of the future -- but as is always the case with progress, there are those who cling to the past.

Polygamy- Be very, very careful

1) Be VERY sure who is boss. This isnt a sexist comment, it could be a woman or polyandry, but 3 'equal' partners is almost impossible. Its tough enough with just two (in personal lives, business etc)
2) Even if you are very confident that you can be 'boss', be sure it is absolutely explicit who is #1 wife/concubine. Let her run wife #2, 3..4 or whatever. If you are smart you will RARELY overrule #1.
3) For sure, watch the TV show- I have only heard about it, but in some ways it sounds like a dose of reality.
4) Many wise Mormons (lets just assume not the pedophiles or abusive ones) keep separate HOUSES. Obviously takes $, but for sure, I am determined NEVER to live with even one woman again. (Unless I build my castle, and each wife gets her own suite)
5) If you are even half way serious, treat this like a Fortune 500 Hundred merger. You need long checklists on everyone's personality, preferences, duties, the kids. Then long meetings & negotiations. You cant be too minute- or you are asking for a disaster.

Good Luck
 
It would be interesting to see how people would live if there were no laws or cultural taboos about this kind of thing. I am pretty sure that it would not be several guys per woman. I think you would find a variety of arrangements, some rich guys with multiple women, some woman centered arrangements with multiple men, etc. I think that you would find though that serial monogamy with some cheating is more preprogrammed, and most people would adopt some form of that. Once again I will shill for the one of the most interesting books I have read, Sperm Wars, by Robin Baker, which explains a lot of this type of human sexual behaviour in a very understandable manner.
