Yeah, doesn't mean you don't want to bone other chicks though.

People naturally go into monogamous relationships because they want to give their offspring the best chance. Also monogamy is a staple in the overwhelming majority of human societies from first world down to isolated, untouched tribes. Id imagine polygamist humans had worse offspring and feel victim to survival of the fittest stuff.

Yes, but it depends on the species because every one of them functions differently.

Ya know, thats probably true too. The social systems in place stop the offspring from dying off or whatever.

Fun fact, a black child with parents who stick together in a low income have a better chance of prospering in life than a white upperclass child in a split family

No. This is why I tell my girlfriends, after cheating on them, to not take it personally. It's just nature. When you explain it like this people are more understanding.

Why not just break up with them instead of cheating?

Because that would require being a decent human being.

Because I want multiple partners at the same time. Monogamy is unnatural.

It's observable in nature with some species, if that's what the topic is asking.

If you're not looking for any honest discussion, agreement, meeting halfway or middle ground, don't bother arguing with me. Selfish narcissists need not apply.

I think women used to be possessions of men.

So they would likely be monogamous, but the men would still go and claim other women

It kind of questions the whole concept of what is and isn't natural when you consider that sin entered the world in the third chapter of the Bible, when the total population of the Earth was 2.
