Those who prefer monogamy for themselves (as I do) are fine with it, but we should understand that there are others who aren’t. I certainly understand anyone who doesn’t want a mongamous lifestyle – this is a perfectly valid choice.

And yes, a guy who is honest about not wanting to be mongamous would get dumped by many women. So what? He should date someone who doesn’t insist on monogamy. They are out there. If he can’t find anyone like that, this doesn’t give him an excuse to lie about it to get what he wants from his partner.

Here’s a clear and detailed article about social structure among primates:

While monogamy may be common among humans, it is rare among non-human primates. This makes it pretty clear that we’re not biologically hardwired to be monogamous, but it is something that many of our social and culture structures have compelled us to do (at least in the US and a number of Western countries, but there remain a number of places where other structures are more common and/or more tolerated than here.
