Because we're honest.
Posted by VageenkaWha?
Who said only women want one partner?
I feel like a man can want the same.
Unless I'm being a moron and misinterpreting this thread.
Posted by DeeLovesRedYours was the only sensible answer! And it's very sensible...they want to build, to make kids and raise them well together, in a loving unit.
I think women love multiple times within their lives. Mightn't be all at the same time, but most (didn't say all) of the time they love one man at a time. And when they give their love to that man, they desire him.
The reason we desire a man is because we want to build. Now even the promiscuous women, there's always that one person she LOVES and WANTS. Reason being, because she want to build with that person in all aspects.
If that makes sense... not trying to give a long explanation..
Posted by DeeLovesRedRight, women typically seek to form bonds and emotional connections in relationships. This can be time consuming and exhausting with more than one or two partners. Likewise the consistent process maintaining the attraction levels of multiple partners can also be tiring. Therefore it makes sense that a woman would want to focus her energy into a single mate.

That's not to say that a woman can't have multiple lovers or emotionless sex, but both men and women can be extremely territorial. If a woman is entertaining several men, then it's likely that she won't fully invest in one man. That means those men won't entirely bond with her either since they may be entertaining other women themselves. If a woman is looking for a partner who can provide (and even protect per se), this will put her at an obvious disadvantage.
This can become complicated if she is wants to build a family. Remember that women bear the brunt of childbearing, so it only makes sense a woman would want to lock down a loyal, supportive partner to rear children. As a species we have the longest time frame for child rearing, so making a long lasting bond with a single partner also makes sense. Since men are very territorial, there's no guarantee that a man will be loyal to a woman's family if he is not invested in the children.
It's no secret that men have the primal desire to mate as much as possible, so there must be an exchange to keep a man from doing that. As a result a woman offers her physical (and emotional) exclusivity to him and in return he provides his emotional (and physical) exclusivity to her. She gets the support that she desires and he gets a consistency he wants.
Of course this all pertains to our species in a general sense. To sum up, monogamy for both women and men boils down to creating consistency for each partner. Focusing on one mate ensures that women (and men) can secure certain advantages to mate.click to expand
Posted by notsosureIt's the same as if ever was. It's true our behaviors have evolved and we have created more complex social structures. In the end though we are indeed still animals with basic drives.Posted by ChuckcemOkay at question to the mating: wouldn't that be different now? It's supposed to be mate and spread seeds. But that's not what it's about today, is it? Isn't it more the social status of mating and getting girls? Not so much spreading seeds?Posted by DeeLovesRedRight, women typically seek to form bonds and emotional connections in relationships.

Women connect with their hearts (in the main)
Men connect with their dicks (in the main)
So it is harder (generally speaking) for women to give their heart to too many people
Of course, there are always exceptions

Posted by notsosureSo women would want more men, but they don't cause people will call them a slut?
A part of it is probably linked to being called a slut if we want more honestly. - a play on insecurity.
My married aries friend talked to me about lusting after other guys.
But when you're bringing up kids it's just easier, if you're only two people who have to agree.
Posted by cheekyfaerieDayum that's awesome! But even women don't know why. I guess it's not vital to know.
I can only speak for myself on this one, but when I fall for someone, I get relationship blinders. It was a year and a half in before I even started watching porn again and largely because I realized he probably never stopped. I don't desire another person. I don't want to. I want to delve into all manner of obscenities with him and him alone. To do otherwise feels like a failure to me. Why? Your guess is as good as mine.

Women are like cats, the one who's around to pet them - that's who they love.
Posted by notsosureI do...lol l wish people followed my lead. I grew up with violent sports, l guess that's where it starts. We should promote violent sports ?Posted by bricklemarkIn some cases yeah. Today you would still have to explain yourself a lot if you don't go for marriage/steady relationship. If you don't that means a ton of stuff is wrong with you.Posted by notsosureSo women would want more men, but they don't cause people will call them a slut?

And yeah, if there wasn't as much slutshaming around, I mean if women didn't have to even go in to that battle, be belittled and try to explain and stand up for themselves, I think things would be so very different.
Maybe not always but for a time of life.
To me it's all just cultural standards. Rarely do people dare to live their life as they truly wish. Or even just have the capacity to think outside the box. Me too ofcours.click to expand

I think a one on one relationship is complicated enough.
Can't imagine throwing another person into the mix, let alone five.
But different strokes for different folks. Kudos to the men and women who can do this. And congrats on the hot, steamy sex.
*giggles*
Yeah I was thinking about it just now and more or less came to the same conclusion.
I can't really explain why I've only ever wanted the one woman.
Except that thinking of two women, two different sets of problems... that's crazy talk.
You have to be very resourceful and wealthy to have the free time for polygamy.
So to answer OP's thread: because most men and women can't afford it. My best guess.click to expand

Keeping it short, women are programmed genetically to raise an offspring as part of a family, so they seek stability. The woman has the ultimate decision in relationships, choosing from the males that court her. The males are made to mate, so they are chasers by nature.

Because instinctively its was always in a woman’s best interest to develop strong bonds with men to manipulate them into protecting them and providing for them.
I would guess that women found it wasn’t in their best interest to do this with multiple men at the same time. Because men are territorial competitive and possessive.click to expand
