While I agree with you about monogamy being unusual, I don’t think you understand PCG’s point. There is no denying that love is a chemical reaction but love itself has many phases which all people in long term relationships experience. Love evolves as people grow more mature. Brainwashing to accept that “love” doesn’t exist will confuse any soul because everyone falls in and out of love. Regardless of our upbringing and our circumstances, all humans experience love at some point in their lives. That is PCG’s point I believe.

I understand her point. My point is that love is a chemical reaction, meaning our bodies can be “tricked” into falling in love. Why do you think people suggest that married couples in a rut try new things? Because novel experiences with a person you’ve known for years simulate the same chemical rush as that of meeting a new potential mate. That’s why dangerous things can result in bonding too, because fear is similar to infatuation. Therefore, if society accepted it, you could certainly be in love with multiple people, and this applies to both men and women.

However, historically and biologically speaking, polygyny was far more common, and it’s thought that women are actually wired for deception, i.e. they prefer “sexy” guys when ovulating and providers, and “nice” guys the rest of the time. Happy thoughts huh?

I’m not advocating that women put up with second wives. I’m just saying that love is a habit and people can certainly love multiple people, and that men having multiple mates is more prominent than vice versa.
