Would you get married to more than one person if it was possible?

I'm curious, if given the opportunity, and it was legal in the US, would you marry more than one person? I know polygamy isn't legal everywhere, but it is legal in some states I believe. Could you handle a polygamist marriage?

I think it's mainly outdated, because women in polygamous relationships, don't seem to be very free. But then again, those are mostly the weird white families who have like 5 moms and 20 kids all together.

What are your thoughts on this?

I think the reason this was acceptable back in the day is down to people having large families and needing a lot of hands to work the land (farming and whatnot) so it made sense from that standpoint. I personally wouldn't want this kind of life. I don't want to feel like I have to compete for affection with other women nor share my life with another woman like that.
