Men have an instinct to be polygamous; women have an instinct to be hypergamous. What drove human evolution is the majority of women would pair up with men with most status. This means men who have the most intelligence, physical attributes, or aesthetics.
Societies implemented monogamy as was to make sure a surplus of man weren't rioting and looting. However, this was possible due to accessibility of men were limited due geographical friction and parental/familial gatekeeping. Now due to technology and liberalism, a plurality of women have access to high value men. As a result, we're are witness the decay of the institution of monogamy which has it's negatives, but women or a collective of women pairing with high-value successful men, who are wealthy, handsome, and/or intelligent might beneficial to human species in the long term.

Except what you are saying isn't really happening. In fact, some argue that current trends are dysgenic given a negative correlation between education and reproduction/family size.Originally Posted by Wheyvid

It's total nonsense "..due to technology and liberalism, a plurality of women have access to high value men.."
If this is an essay you're writing for a college class, keep going. It has a very high buzzword-score. You'll get a good grade for the essay.
If this isn't something someone is making you do and this is what you read for pleasure. STOP with the nonsense!

Saw 'monogamy' and 'friction' and was interested. The rest of the buzzwords killed my buzz.
It's never too late!
