do you agree that men are polygamous by nature?

we were talking about a celebrity couple's issue involving a third party. then my boss said that men are polygamous by nature. he even mentioned the lion king movie that why does the movie has many female lions rather than male. what can you say about this?

I don't think so. Maybe this might change from culture to culture. But as far as I know, In our part of the world men are not and women are also not polygamous. But there are exceptions. I think this depends on the culture largely.

i certainly think monogamy is not the natural state for the human being. However, in years gone by, a marriage would last a life time because life expectancy was so much lower. With rising life expectency, i think there is an increasing likelyhood of breakdown. With this in mind, rather than poligamy, what we see is a type of serial monogamy

that is true. men are polygamous by nature, but are controlling their instinct because of the society.
