I disagree. I don't equate monogamy with selfishness. Besides, even if you had five wives, you would still be upset if you found out one of them was sleeping with another man. A man's ego and pride would still be bruised, even with 4 other faithful women waiting for him at home.
You've just proved my point! No one in this thread has focused on how children in polygamous families benefit from having more than one mother, learn at an early age to focus on community over self, the pooling of resources.. i could go, but everybody is focusing on sex..lol.
And i did not state monogamy equates to selfishness, I said the American culture is VERY incompatible with polygamy.

For the one who wants to know: I did not come from a polygamous family, but I might as well have because my father(rip) had children outside the marriage which my mother was well aware of. However, I have very close friends who come from this kind family, and not all of them are from Africa..lol.
another myth shattered! shocking
