There’s a lot of biases and cultural norms to overcome in making the transition from mono- to poly-amory. While I’ve remained monogomas myself, it’s purely for time and efficiency reasons, and if I didn’t have Stuff To Do, I’d probably go that direction as well.
Yeah, that’s funny. But Dentin does have a point, even if he didn’t formulate it very romantically. It takes time and effort to do a relationship justice; and if you don’t have that time, it’s better to stay monogamous.
Some of these exist for good reasons. Among other issues, polyamory gives high-status men an excuse to tell low-status men that their feelings of discomfort are “biases and cultural norms to overcome”.
I’d say it’s just like monogamous sex: it’s best not to (if you’re trying to maximize productivity), but if you’re going to do it anyway you might as well do it in a well-thought-out happiness-increasing way.
