Women outnumbered men in most primitive societies because young men performed the dangerous tasks; hunting, fighting, exploring for example.

It seems that polygamy would be a natural outcome of the imbalance. The imbalance apparently continued in Biblical times, as patriarchs are said to have had wives and concubines.

Sounds like fun at first, but no thanks! One is plenty for me.

Are you kidding? you could have the ladies keep each other entertained so you could get some real stuff done. And when they want to "talk" during the final 50 seconds of the superbowl when it's fourth and goal, you can direct them to one of the others.
