Gorillas Are Polygamous, It is Human Instinct to Have Multiple Mates

If you look at the animal kingdom you will see being polygamous is the norm. Like gorillas have multiple mating partners.

The extremely high rate of divorces in America proves my point.

yeah, because humans are just like any other animal. All kinds of animals are capable of building rockets and curing diseases and creating art and music and literature and building mile high skyscrapers... OH WAIT

Humans are unique. Animals also murder their young, defecate wherever they want, and have no instinct for anything except fornication and eating. Saying we should act a certain way because "the rest of the animal kingdom does it" is an outrageous argument and I think you know that

Fine with me if you want to compare yourself with a kind of monkey, I'll pass.

Good luck mating!

A silverback male gorilla is polygamous. The females are monogamous, or some non-silverback male is gonna be dead soon. Don't mess with the silverback.

What type of cukcold wants to. be in polyagmous relationship? I sure wouldn't want to date any girl that couldn't get laid 14x/week off tinder dates if she wanted. And no you are good enough that she will not want other guys if your sleeping around.

Sounds like today's liberals to me.....ie visit Seattle, San Fran, etc....

Wow. OP got intellectually b!tch slapped around on this thread.

Gorillas have a higher strike rate than the incels who routinely populate this site. Neither polygamous nor monogamous; more no-nogamous.

A typical male gorilla has a very small pen*s. I suspect that's related to your problem.

There are many naturally monogamous creatures in the animal kingdom, humans included. Polygamy

But our closest animal relatives are the gorillas, chimpanzees, and pics. We share like 99.7% of our generic material with them and they are all polygamous. It is written into our genes to have multiple mates. The current societal thinking of "marriage" should be abolished.

None of those animals: wear clothes, live in houses, crap in toilets, use written language, go to school/work, pay taxes, establish laws, etc... Is basing human morality on animal behavior really the best way you can come up with to govern human society?

Are you suggesting that letsRunner’s start boinking gorillas and donkeys?

START?

Where you been?

It is also a human instinct to exhibit restraint, loyalty, caring, nurturing, and a concern for preservation of the common order. Sometimes are instincts are in conflict. We witness this play out every day in our society and to some extent, in ourselves.

Like many things in life, while it's easy to gravitate to a simplistic interpretation, it is not the most meaningful, insightful, or realistic assessment of the situation.

Young gorillas don't need therapy when the silverback calls them into the living room to tell them that he isn't going to live with them anymore because he is moving in with his secretary gorilla from work.

They have multiple partners because males try to spread their seed and have as many offspring as possible to make their bloodline continue. That would be a ton of child support. So maybe we should get rid of child support? And it seems like rape happens a lot in the animal kingdom. Bucks chase does around like crazy and a lot of the time the does are running away, while a buck is trying to mount the doe. Not consensual at all.

Unfortunately basing your behavior on that of animals is a terrible idea in modern life. Procreating like an animal served people just fine when we lived in small troops, had high rates of child mortality, had much lower rates of STDs and lived to be 40 years old. It does not work as well when you live to your 80s, have high rates of STDs, and enough modern medicine to keep pretty much every child alive to adulthood. The reason for the growing divide between the haves and the have nots is this country is because those at the low end still live their lives on their evolutionary urges having kids outside of wedlock at a young age, obtaining STDs at a much higher rate and generally becoming a drain on society. So go ahead, live your life like a gorilla and vote for Bernie Sanders to save you from your poor lifestyle choices.

Hahahaha well played sir, well played.

They even have an App in San Francisco called SnapCrap that helps you report instances of public poo to the proper authorities.

Yeah, well, women vote, at least in this society, and anyone behaving like a silverback Gorilla, is creating an uphill battle for themselves in maintaining their status as commander in chief. But i digress.

And just wait until the Me Too Movement hits the rest of the primates. See how long that shananigans lasts then. You know what i'm talking about.

Your look at the animal kingdom for answers is ridiculous. Gorillas murder. Does that mean we should be allowed to do that?

We already allow select groups in the government and police to carry out murders. Just look at all the murders the US government carries out in other countries.

Your argument is non-sequir. Being polygamous is written into our very DNA.

Not a non-sequitur (the word you meant to use). You pointed to gorillas as evidence of how we should behave. I pointed out that they behave in ways most humans, including you, would find objectionable. You are making an assumption about polygamy in our DNA. I personally don't care what consenting adults do, but you don't know sh!t.

Kind of what separates us from the animals.

Yes the life of a gorilla isn't a fusion of impulse and reflection, instinct and ideation.
