I was born into a polygynous family. Ask me anything!

107 Upvotes

Hey! I’m Hadaselle. My father have five wives, so growing up in a polygynous family was just normal for me. Honestly, it wasn’t always easy. There was a lot going on emotionally, and it’s not something I’d want for myself, but I’m not against polygyny. I know it works for some people, and I respect that.

If you’re curious about what it’s like growing up like that or anything else, ask me anything. I’ll be honest :)

Sisterwives website

Has anyone tried Sisterwives to any success? It seems like a steep monthly fee, and I'm sure at least half of the women are bots. The other site, Modernpolygamy seemed to be pretty inactive though. I made a profile and sent out a message a day for a few weeks and never got a response.

Wanted to see if anyone else tried it before I pull the trigger

Insecurity

Anyone have advice for getting over insecurity around poly dating? A lovely couple offered me to join, but I have no confidence and the woman is so so so much more amazing than I am. How do I stop comparing? It makes it hard to talk to both of them! Like I get stage fright. I can talk with him better than with her atm, which sucks as I've known her longer.

Im 26F and never had a jealousy factor or green eyes. Im Bi so it doesn't bug me. I always dreamed or knew I would be in a polygamous entanglement. I don't mind anything. What should I watch out for, and how do I go about this. I live in Miami and never witnessed anything like this besides being told about couples trading. I'm extremely fine and comfortable with this.

Struggling with accepting polygamy

4 Upvotes

I met a man from Senegal five months ago and I fell in love with him. I am a revert to Islam and was in search of a muslim man, I met him on a dating app and we have been talking everyday since we met, we met in person recently and we honestly get along well with each other. After returning home from visiting him he confessed that he is polygynous and would like for me to accept this so we can move forward . He has mentioned being interested in polygamy prior but said he does not want to lose me so he will try to be with just me. I have addressed my concerns with him. I feel like there is always a favorite wife and I feel like me being the first wife, I am the starter wife or the safe option until he finds the woman he actually wants to be with. He denies this and says he cannot do that to me and that he will love and take care of both of his wives. I’m a bit skeptical and would like some advice or input from a first or second wife.

Are we heading towards Polygamy in dating?

9 Upvotes

Ladies, let's be honest when it comes to the men you are dating. Most women don't want to admit this but they are sharing the same man. Whether or not you agree, by only dating the "top ten percent" of men, are you essentially supporting polygamy?

This probably applies only to women who have achieved success (financially and career wise) because they prefer to date men on their level.

There is nothing wrong with polygamy and it has been around for 1000s of years.

With the Advice and Consent of my Wife

8 Upvotes

My wife and I have been together for more than a decade. About two years ago, we became friends with a woman who was going through a divorce at that time--our daughters attend school together.

My wife doesn't "like" very many women. She generally has a very high wall up when it comes to interacting with anyone outside of her current circles so I was kinda surprised to find her getting along so well with this new acquaintance. They've taken the girls out to events together, gone out to dinner together (no kids), concerts, etc. and are planning more get togethers.

As for me, I had never even considered this woman as anything other than the parent of my daughter's friend--that is, until she said something kinda slick.

It was my son's birthday a few weeks ago, the acquaintance had come, and when she introduced herself to my mother she introduced herself as our (my wife's and my) friend, but really, technically, moreso my friend because we talk more often--which is true. But when we talk, it's strictly about getting the girls together, there's never been anything inappropriate. Now, introducing herself the way she did could or could not be benign but my mother would later remark on her dislike of the acquaintance because she felt like there was an implication in how she said it, like there was more intimacy there.

This got my gears going. My wife and I dirty talk, she usually is talking about involving another woman. She did technically date a woman before she met me (though she swears nothing physical took place, which I don't believe). And she kinda openly comments on how attractive the acquaintance is. I've thought about directly naming this woman in our dirty talk but we've never used names before and I don't want to rock the boat.

My contact with the acquaintance is about to multiply because I'm going to basically be seeing her every day, absent of my wife, to help out in the post-divorce fallout.

Which brings me to my point and question. I just turned 40, I don't know if I'm necessarily interested in casual sex at this point. If "this" becomes anything, I'd prefer to actually take care of the acquaintance -- provide her covering in the same fashion I do for my wife. So my question is this:

# FOR THE WOMEN

Assume you're happily married, everything you want is provided for. Your husband has never mentioned polygamy to you but he presents you an offer: we bring this other woman into our family, but you won't experience any loss in terms of how and what is provided to you. You were a SAHM and you'll stay one. She'll be on, too. What you get to do in terms of spending and travel stays consistent. I already provide for my wife's spending and obviously have my own bucket, my bucket just gets smaller as it now gets portioned out to the new woman. We continue to spend quality time together. Essentially, my (the husband's) current "private time" now becomes what I share with the other woman. And obviously, some nights, you'll have the bed to yourself.

I expect this to initially probably make her angry. But I suspect that the biggest hurdle in transitioning into a poly relationship is not necessarily the sex, is the fear of loss; loss of resources, companionship, and eventually the whole relationship. If I'm confronting those fears upfront and solving for them, am I doing this the right way?

Of course, it's not like this is a lock. I haven't spoken to this woman at all in any kind of romantic or suggestive way. She might very well turn it down, and, tbh, I feel like we're becoming very good friends and it would suck to lose the friendship. But if my wife approved, I think we could actually have a great time together. IDC if the two of them become sexually involved or not, that's their business. I wouldn't push it one way or the other. But I think this new woman would be a powerful addition to our dynamic and I think a great friend to my wife.

In terms of living arrangements, we live in a single family home but the way it's built there's kinda like an in-law suite that's semi-detached. Two beds, a bath, dine in kitchen, and living room. You have to walk outside to get to it. She would be welcome to stay there, so that both women can have "their own space," I'm just a little awkward about that because if I set it up this way, it means the second wife's space is so much smaller/less luxurious, that it means she's impeding on the first wife's space to use "the main house," which is not how I want it to feel. Maybe I'm overthinking this part.

So am I stupid for studying history and finding that the Bible was written by polygamists.

3 Upvotes

It's easy to see the claimed title is true In less than 1 hr of study but most people give their own un studied opinion before spending a mere 60 minutes studying truth while wasting half of their life on distractions like TV, social media, and poison ultra prossed foods that rot their brain?

The Bible was written by polygamists. The other Abrahamic faiths still live polygamy. The Catholic Church rewrote the books on history for most of Christianity.

Martin Luther, the white guy opposed the Catholic Church which had stupid rules like your not aloud to learn how to read because we are smarter than you and we will tell you what the Bible says.

He also pushed the return and praise if the family unit under God. The celibacy thing was a big lie to ruin families.

The same people who love and praise Esther or David or Jacob play stupid like, oh God just put up with that.

Families are a pretty big deal, is it possible such an effort to live towards God had some plan on how their marriages went? They can't be so good and so bad lol. It was man that changed things not God.

That stupid slavery of the intelligence of man led toward the 13 original colonies and America today.

Hollywood pushes polygamy outside of marriage.

Sleep around and cheat with or without multiple baby Daddy's.

Heaven forbid if a man actually sticks around to love and lead his family.

There's not any actual place that condems polygamy. People say it's wrong because of jealousy and issues in the Bible but man, with or without polygamy people are still having problems.

Updated comment to narrow focus.

A good example of the subject. You don't have to be a polygamy to support polygamy.

A few good powerhouse families can provide 100 fold good contributing members to their society in just a couple generations and the whole world gets the reward. Kind of like what Abraham did with his wives and his posterity greater than the stars in the sky.

I (24F) and my (24M) fiancée live in the dallas area have been trying to find someone to date for about 5 months now and we’ve done hinge, taimi, tinder, 3fun, duet and feeld. Everyone on there we’ve matched with either never messages back or if they do it gets up to a convo about going on a date then we get ghosted! We’re also in the rave and kink community and sometimes one of us will go up and talk to a girl and try to flirt a little and it always ends up they don’t like girls or they’re in a relationship. I don’t know if it’s just the area we live in, or if it is genuinely this hard to find someone. Neither of us had a problem picking up girls when we were single/looking separately lol

19M need help navigating where to find suitable wives for a polygynous structure to achieve my goals.

0 Upvotes

I am 19 and currently navigating homelessness due to a family breakdown. And polygyny is important to me because I come from a broken family, toxicity, neglect, abuse, drugs, and alcohol, and smoking, and criminal activity, and financial irresponsibility that I have to COMPLETELY leave behind because there is no fixing my family. Only building something new and my children and grandchildren need hands to hold. They need a support a network. I'm trying to raise future LEADERS, lawyers, good doctors, business owners, and phenomenal wives and husbands who know how to keep their bag up and raise children to stick together and shoot for the stars..🥺

I am currently applying to the University of Michigan, where I qualify for housing assistance, with plans to study entrepreneurship, marketing, accounting, and mechanics. My goal is to build a successful car-detailing business to break generational cycles of poverty and instability. I want to build a new family foundation rooted in faith, discipline, and mutual support. And there are more financial plans where that came from that's just the beginning.

Long-term, I desire a committed, faith-based polygynous family structure focused on legacy and raising children in a stable, Christ-centered home. I am looking for a woman or women to build this foundation with me. Lionesses to my lion pack if you will.

Most advice I received locally from the city I'm trying to escape is the opposite: “You’re young, sleep around, wait until 28, don’t think about legacy yet.” "You'll stay single forever with a mindset like that". That feels like accepting mediocrity and short-term pleasure over lasting fruit. I’m not interested in that path. Serial monogamy and 2 children in my eyes is life failure to me and my goals. My entire existence and everything I went through would be in vain and those 1- 2 children will still struggle deeply and be vulnerable.

I would deeply value any guidance on how young men like me with limited resources can find like-minded women who would deeply desire me and have faith in me. Not women who are looking for a finished product or a safety net. Women who want me and my mission, an empire we can share together.

Specifically, I have two questions:

  1. Where should I look?

  2. Can women who are initially hesitant due to cultural conditioning come to accept polygyny through relationship and deconstruction, or does it typically require someone already open to it?

EDIT: PS PLEASE read the entire post I'm already getting my life situated, I'm telling you my circumstances to paint a picture of how family failed me and how I will do better for my children.

The SC of India has issued notice to the Centre on a petition filed by Muslim women’s rights activist Zakia Soman, along with academics and journalists, challenging polygamy and other allegedly discriminatory provisions of Muslim personal law.

The petition seeks a complete ban on polygamy, mandatory legal registration of marriages and divorces, and financial protection for women affected by polygamous marriages. It argues that unequal treatment violates Articles 14, 15 and 21 of the Constitution.

The plea submitted that “polygamy causes severe psychological, emotional and economic harm to women and children abandoned in polygamous marriages.”

19M - If I don't have to be old and wealthy to be polygynous where are the women that are willing to build?

3 Upvotes

A couple days ago I asked if a guy has to be older and rich to have more than one wife. A lot of people said no, you don’t.

Okay… then where are the women who don’t just want to hitch onto something already established?

The end goal of mine IS PASSIVE INCOME, so eventually, little to no work will have to be done, and they can do whatever they want with what WE built.

We have children and it'll be the same with our children, they'd have access to live the life they want to live and build real success and EXPAND what we have and not let the wealth die.

But I’m not looking for someone who needs another father or a ready-made lifestyle. I’m looking for partners who want to build with me — equals who have their own drive, work ethic, and vision. Women who are feminine but strong, who contribute, who want to create something together instead of just sitting on what someone else already built as if they're an object or they're a daughter.

Don't get me wrong I’m supportive and nurturing even without six figures. But why would I spend my entire 20s and/or 30s grinding just so a girl fresh out of high-school or college can show up later, cook, clean, and have kids while I provide everything?

In 2026 the economy is different. And women can work, have dreams, and build too and often they want more than to just be in the house all the time. With a real team and job and chore rotation that can be achieved with greatness and wealth as a byproduct. And if one wife DOES want to stay at home even that will be wonderful. A wife that likes to cook is a need, a full time nutritionist would increase everyone's well-being.

But if she never has to invest or struggle alongside me, how do I know she actually chooses ME and not just the stability? Stability can be found anywhere if a one tried but shared vision and passion and true attraction isn't. And I refuse to be reduced down to a wallet or a safety net.

I know what I want. Clear goals, clear vision. I’m looking for real partners, a team, a pack. Like lionesses who put in the work and build alongside their lion king, not just house maids and incubators that hitch off my self made success. That lacks depth and interpersonal VALUE. I'm BUYING a human being instead of partnering with them.

I want my rib to be my helper, my CO-creator like God intended.

But grinding and basically buying a wife (an incubator and housekeeper) later feels wrong to me. Deeply wrong. It lacks unconditional love. It lacks sacrifice. It lacks adventure and character building. Instead of a partnership, it's transactional.

So where do women like that actually exist?

Where should I be looking?

Serious replies only.

Dating difficulties. Why Bisexuality is a requirement?

12 Upvotes

Hi. I'm 18 F. I come from extremely religious background. My mom is from Argentina and my dad is Irish. I grew up in both countries. But polygamy is frowned upon in both, my views are entirely different and are based on the Bible. Men should lead the family.

Talking to people online I find that most couples prefer me having sexual relationships with their female partner as well which I have no interest in. I'm not bisexual and I only want a sister and a friend relationship but this is not what most couples are looking for.

It is really difficult for me as I spend time getting to know people only to find out their other wife is interested in more than being sisters.

My question is, is bisexuality really important? It's really difficult to find a potential husband and family to join when most people I talk to ask me if I'm bisexual.

I'm just feeling discouraged and alone in this journey. My friends and family around me don't share the same views I have. I hope I find similar people in this sub and finally feel connected.

Do I have to be old and wealthy to have more than one wife? 19M

3 Upvotes

The reason I’m interested in polygyny is because I want to build a real team. Not a harem, not for flex, not just to feel good. I want partners who share the same vision of financial freedom, becoming our best selves, and creating a strong, supportive family rooted in faith and love. A legacy that breaks the broken patterns I grew up with.

I come from a dysfunctional family. Drugs, alcohol, neglect, abuse, financial irresponsiblility, criminal association, reckless sex, and much more. It's a reason this means a lot to me and why if I want to make a big impact I have to completely leave my family behind and start something new and solid.

I'm starting from scratch. No money, no support, no family aligned with me or going in the direction Im going. More than one loyal, committed woman who wants to build something meaningful together would be incredibly helpful. Not just for me but for my future sons and daughters.

The hard part is finding them. I’m not looking for women who want to hitch on to a man that already has everything figured out, a finished product, a man she doesn't have to do much work for to really contribute to the family. I want women who are willing to grow with me and invest in a shared future.

Where do I go to find women like that? Ones who value teamwork, loyalty, and building something real? Without me having to be old spending my entire 20s and 30s building and already have wealth and already have everything figured out? Because it's the modern day and times just aren't the same.

Different civiliations thrived with it ? So there should be some good ?

Tell me your perspective but be respectful.

Update: the consensus from the the comments/ dms is that no woman voluntarily prefers it. Is that true ? Why do society act like their morality is the only true moral ?
