I've seen it personally.

Yet just look at the Zo é tribe of Brazil, for a large group, that has been around for hundreds of years. And that is a matriarchal society.

The women pick multiple men.

People have been brainwashed into thinking polygamy can't work. It's how they grew up. And the existence of Zo é tribe, for hundreds of years, gives proof to the brainwashing.

Whats the real question you're asking?

Yes poly relationships can work.
Yes marriages can work,
Yes asexual relationships can work.

Yes a vegan diet can work,
Yes a carnivore diet can work.

What works for you works for you.
But any relationship generally has at least one other person and they need to put in the work as well.

(I say this as a relationship therapist of sorts for years)

Has for me.

It definitely works for some people.

I believe in long term

Polygamy can work, but there are cases where it doesn't.

My ex wife is into that and he is a married man whose ife has health problems. No I don't agree with that at all. She needs to commit to one person and one person only

I don't think that's a good thing.

no. i believe in being exclusive

Be great if it could be true but unlikely.

Maybe short term, but not long term. Someone will get hurt and the relationships will change

It can work for some. It requires a lot of communication, honesty, and trust. Many of the problems found in exclusive relationships can be found and magnified in poly ones.

It can and does but I don’t think it’s the typical experience

it may work from some people

Probably a lot fewer than expect it

its an interesting concept, but it seems like there are a plethora of potential problems

Personally I don't. But everyone is different, things get too messy and complicated. Not for me. Now or ever.

They're not right for me... that's all I will say.

No and definitely not!
