Again, Hugh Hefner isn't giving all of his "live in girlfriends" healthcare, tax benefits, right of life decision care, and other marital benefits.
This is not solely about money.
Its about access to partners.
Sohh legalising polygamy is being considered but only for the wealthy

What's wrong with the adults in a polygamous relationship solidifying their commitment?
Healthcare companies are private companies, why shouldn't they be able to offer services as they see fit? No different than cell phone companies offering "family plans" to groups of people who clearly aren't related. Medicare and Medicaid are not relevant, because I said no governmental benefits.
Aside from health care, what other benefits are you talking about?
Again, I'm against any tax or governmental benefits, so this is all irrelevant.

Dont mind me..Im a azzhole
I feel you.
Yet
A female isnt going to date a broke dude unless SHE see's potential in the long term..just like a male is not going to marry a barren woman if he wants to have children in the future..
Yes because this is why most women get married
. American women aren't sitting around like "I sure wish I had a husband so I could get his health benefits or the right to pull the plug on his ass". Women are all about the romance and love and monogamy aspect. If you can't understand this, then I don't know what to tell you.What's wrong with the adults in a polygamous relationship solidifying their commitment?
On a macro-scale in society, it hurts unwed men by skewing numbers out of their favor
Is Polygamy Really So Awful?
Its not up to me to define what legal benefits you get from marriage as recognized where you live and that jurisdiction.
I'm telling you that giving people the ability to enter legal unions beyond monogamy, hurts the rest of society.

FTR, I have no desire to be in a polygamous relationship. I just don't see why we should prevent those who do want to be in such a relationship from enjoying their lives.
Except, women don't have that option now, so you can't assess whether or not they would remain that way.Yes because this is why most women get married
The fact is, if you allow something, people will do it.
So how do you account for the increased number of unwed people and the even larger number of people who can't find girlfriends/boyfriends?
More people will experiment in polygamy knowing that they can seek polygamous relationships. The only reason people DONT do it now is because you can't get married that way currently. It becomes futile for many people to continue those relationships in our current system.
Lets be honest, if you weren't getting women before? You're going to be BONE DRY in the future if polygamy becomes permissible.I'm bout to snatch up all these bytches

Its like asking why murder or theft or fraud is illegal.
MOST of us don't do those things, nor would we ever.
However, we have laws to protect the masses from the small, but significant number of people who would ruin everyone else's wellbeing by infringing on the welfare of others.
Policy has to work for everyone and benefit as many people as possible.
Polygamy is the opposite of this.
bruh, theres a lot of artistic types who could do the struggle life together.
BUT if they enter into multiple unions, they remove more partners from the dating pool.
Its not just about money.
Money is one factor, and one thats more easily understood, but sheer access to mates is a major influence that you have to consider.
When you're designing policy on how to make society work efficiently you have to manage the behavior of everyone in that society.

Why do you keep going back to the "there'll be no women left for me" hysteria?
You already said you're ok with a guy cohabiting with a bunch of women, I asked what's the difference between that and them marrying without any tax or governmental benefits? You seem to just be upset at the label.

Period.
You can't just create options out of no where.
Look around where polygamy is common.
The marriage label matters to me, because it matters to others. Listen, I'm probably more nihilistic than you ever will be...but I understand how society works and how to manage the expectations and views of others. You have to do that as well. Smart policy is better than selfish policy.

How is this different than the current side chick and bm culture we have? More and more women are on happily apart of rosters and stables of elite men who only come through to give them that D on a Wednesday night and then disappear. The average man is already taking massive Ls in today's world. It would be better for the kids and our community as a whole if these nikkas committed and provided some income and stability along to these households along with a proper father figure the kids could relate to. That would solve a huge chunk of our problems in the community in one fell swoop.
