If one guy has 6 wives there are 5 guys who cannot possibly get a woman.

You assume marital fidelity. There are plenty of guys out there with 6 women. Some married them, sequentially. Some never bothered to marry them.

The truth is, we have polygamy right now. We just call it divorce and remarriage.

There may be guys out there who sleep around on their wives, but its gotta be extremely rare that one man has 6 women to himself. There are alot of men and women who sleep around alot, but they keep each other busy. Most people in todays society get into relationships with one person. They may not last for life, but they pair off.

To have a polygamist society would insure the rich and well off males would have multiple wives, and the young men wouldn't have any. The big problem is young men are very violent by nature. There's a reason young men fight wars, we are immature, strong, smart yet very unwise, don't think we can die, and can be extremely brutal.

Or, no-fault divorce.
