Polygamy is a great thing. It is approved by God. God's favorite men had multiple wives.



Welcome again to HA, Love.
You are a real woman, a daughter of Jerusalem.

Yeah, I get that. Mainly it's a linguistic thing and the need to classify what Alpha means, what an Omega is, etc. Would there really be enough women to go around? Maybe, but I'd like to see the numbers. I do certainly wish arranged marriages were more in vogue or that it was more of a transaction. I told my father, I'd work as hard as possible if I thought I could get a good wife out of it. But without that security I'm just boycotting the system. So are a large and increasing number of men in Western societies, even if only unconsciously. If men have nothing to work for, society collapses.Jester wrote:+1lone_yakuza wrote:No a lot of the times it is poser-alphas.

An Alpha, in human terms, would be the guy who you look to when the SHTF. The poser-Alphas (great term, btw) are the guys who only draw attention to themselves. (For movie buffs, in the old movie "Zulu", Michael Caine's dashing cavalry officer was the poser. The true "Alpha" was the prosaic, workaday engineer, John Chard, played by Stanley Baker.)
Ironically, it was FSchmidt who called the posers "Omegas". So I guess agrees with us, kind of (?).
Whatever you call them, it was Odbo or Cornfed who pointed out that in a normal patriarchal society, the Omegas would just be plain dead. They would just be killed off, and cease to exist. For example, imagine some tattooed douche trying to grind on Robert E. Lee's daughter. I don't know exactly what would happen, but it would be swift. Anyway, you get the idea.
So what does that mean about average Beta guys in a Patriarchal society? It means there would be no Omegas doing an unimpeded pump-and-dump on all the girls. A few girls would get snapped up by polygamous Alphas, but there would be plenty of virgins for the Betas to court.
Male death rates, violence and general stupidity assure that there will always be enough marriageable women to go around. Even in African societies where up to a third of all men eventually have more than one woman (yes, some are widows etc), there always enough women to go around. Every girl gets courted, and there are no old maids. The girl gets to choose the man (usually), but she just chooses one. And he has to support her. And in a real patriarchal, warrior society, adultery doesn't happen. You may have to pay a cow or two, but your wife is really your wife. No affairs, no adultery, no child support. By far a better place for Betas than the modern mess.
The key is not limiting the guy who has enough cattle (or money or whatever) to support several women. If he is honorable, he is on the same side as you. The key is requiring him to put on his plate only what he can eat. To take only wives, not one-night-stands. Thus protecting daughters, sisters, etc. from those who would eventually turn them into unmarriageable, angry, bitchy skanks.
If you are a homeowner, your enemy is not the guy who owns two or three houses. He is your rival when courting, but afterward he is your ally. The enemy is the guy who is riding through with a motorcycle gang, robbing houses, and torching them.
No, I agree with abcdavid01. With promiscuity, omegas get the women. With polygamy, alphas get the women. With monogamy, every man gets a woman.Jester wrote:+1lone_yakuza wrote:No a lot of the times it is poser-alphas.

We may need to define "getting" with more precision.fschmidt wrote:No, I agree with abcdavid01. With promiscuity, omegas get the women. With polygamy, alphas get the women. With monogamy, every man gets a woman.
