except for having children and diseases/infections, why is monogamy prevalent?
Except for having children and diseases/infections, why is monogamy prevalent?
Adam Johnson
Oliver Jackson
monogamy was necessary to create the laborforce for capitalism. now we are overpopulating so being a cuck is in fashion
Jaxson Campbell
Stable households for economic security and a healthy environment for raising children are good enough reasons
Liam Walker
it is hard to focus on more than one lover. double the amount of lovers and you halve the amount of love.
Joshua Foster
because of the sacred love that can only exist between two people, the very entwining of souls
Jordan Green
fuck that. dont tell others what to do
Aiden Bell
Avoid consanguinity
Parker Kelly
bullshit. you can fuck other partners and feel that 'entwining'
Bentley Gomez
believe me, i know from experience.
Adrian Smith
why? consanguinity was probably the ideal system.
Jose Davis
oooeeh you want that steady love huh, good luck
Carter Gonzalez
well uhhh
stability makes sense, but you could be happy without it as well, always remembering that at leadt what happened happened and it was ok
kind of yes but you can have multiple friends and partners dont seem much different to me than friends
ok, apart from the religious crap
thats not--
Benjamin Wright
the thing is that when a human has to watch you make out with somebody else, they will get jealous (especially if they love you).
Ian Reyes
jealousy is a construct though
Jack Murphy
you're a construct, though.
Dominic Reyes
well uhh what? i was joking about the cuck thing, its more like being a single mother is in fashion.
Charles Roberts
With polygamy, some men could make many many children with their several wives, reducing genetic diversity and increasing the risk of consanguinity
Charles Walker
fair enough. time to kill myself.
the political part is dumb, the cuck part makes more sense
Alexander Flores
yeah, but i asked what else apart from having children and stis/stds
Juan Butler
capitalism is not political. lol. no single mommies make more sense
Daniel Martinez
Emotional stability and connection.
Joseph Stewart
consanguinity is probably the ideal system. and its not a concern with all these diverse women
Thomas Butler
what i meant is monogamy goes way back, farther than capitalism as we know it
Ethan White
Not likely. Enjoy your cheap fucks.
Adrian Richardson
what is the difference between good friends that you can have a few of and partners though? apart from physical contact and having babies, which both dont matter to me or hypothetically anyone
Matthew Sanchez
Be honest, good friends and partners feel nothing alike. A good friend is someone you consider from time to time, but a partner is your other half, they factor into your every thought and decision.
Anthony Clark
my (hypothetical) friends do as well, because theyre people whose intelligence i respect
touching my pp doesnt have to do with having an influence for me
Gavin Phillips
To keep the beta males productive. In our tribal days, we used to be extremely violent and the alpha males decided that assigning females to each male is the best option to assure cooperation instead of constant infighting. That's how the first villages were formed.
Jaxson Davis
makes sense, but why are we still doing it, apart from being accustomed to the idea? what are the other reasons?
Matthew Perez
Sorry I thought we were talking about partners, not just other humans whose bodies you use for sexual pleasure.
Christopher Russell
by partners i mean the so called other middle halfs. apart from the physical things i dont care about and having children i see no difference between them and the other few hypothetical people i truly love and respect as well
Leo Perry
because it's the same principle, our society is built on monogamy and without it, the beta males have very little to lose. You can already see the preliminary effects, plummeting birthrates, mass shootings, escapism, drug epidemics and a generally tense and unmotivated populace.
Andrew Thomas
no it doesnt. thousands of years ago one woman reproduced for every 17 men :)
hah. thanks
Christopher Hernandez
seems fair to me, if youre a shitty person which is why youre alone you should stop being a shitty person by for example getting help or die
anyways, im talking about the now and what said makes sense
Jackson Reed
If you're interested in the subject, you should read "The Naked Ape" by Desmond Morris
Jeremiah Moore
i dont care about the primal parts of relationships, which is what the book seems to be about, because some have gotten over being primal, we control our urges
Christopher Cooper
Relationships are essentially resource sharing schemes. You're pooling your time, energy, and often money together to try to satisfy your combined needs and desires more optimally than you could alone. It's difficult enough to understand one other person well enough to do this effectively: throwing a third one into the mix would very likely compromise this system to the point that it ceased to provide any benefit.
