You might find this article about Polyandry to be interesting. It talks about examples in nature and among some cultures where one female is shared by more than one male. I learned that this was once a very common practice in Tibet! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyandry Mariam, I agree with you that there should be no double standards between men and women!

Male friendship is something i always think about. I have always been jealous from my male friends... I always wanted to spend time among men who are friends to see how that goes... and unfortunatley most of my best friends are male! i have few female friends but they are non-Arabs!!! or have a non arabic mentality... fortunately thought... recently i met few people and some of the women I met are amazing and all think about the same things as i do... i guess what i am trying to say is that maybe now we are aware of this, we can actually start forming proper bonds with each other? who knows... it has been a long day for me, i have been working in the garden and it is FREEZING out side... so my brain is a bit frozen now!

I would not be so against polygamy in our part of the world if it goes both ways! which means if a woman can have more than one partnet if the man wants to have more than one partner... but this one way man polygamy is absolutely unacceptable to me! ( this bit wiill be quite scandalous on my record!) but it is true... i HATE to share my mate with anyone, who would I? i can compete with any woman no matter how perfect she is, so no nead for him to go looking for something else... however as you say theory and practice are very different... relationships are complex and people do things for complicated reasons... to anwer your question, no not many men have several wives... it is seen as scandalous as well... but the thing is you see that in very poor areas usually! ( funnily enough) you tend to see it every now and then in rich families... but those would be extremely rare cases and these families would not have a good reputation. I like you last paragraph, you naiumed it really... i never thought about things this way... but maybe cave people did have better lives and adjustment that we do. Well David probably you don’t Enjoy reading my blogs as much as i enjoy reading you comments :) they are always very informative and intelligent and full of life! you bet your ( i don’t know what a proper word to use here, so will leave it to your imagination!) that women show you different face that they show each other! i mean women could be a docile lamb around a man, and a bitchy cat around another woman (there was an episode in sex and the city with a maid who is absolutely lovely around the master and a snake when she is around the misstresses!) anyway… I would not be so against polygamy in our part of the world if it goes both ways! which means if a woman can have more than one partnet if the man wants to have more than one partner… but this one way man polygamy is absolutely unacceptable to me!

I was not trying to make a research about this phenomenon, but now i am really thinking seriously about it. Part of women competition if peer competition, but other parts i tried to explain here... however, there are surely more reasons... maybe i will look into that more and try to write a proper article about it :) Thank you for your comment.
