What's wrong with spreading the love across multiple people? If more people were polygamists then everybody would have babies with multiple people and eventually it would get to the point where most people are related to one another in some way. This would promote a greater sense of unity and peace between people. Society would therefore benefit heavily if polygamy was more accepted.

Polygamy is fine, cheating isn't. Two different things.

Well yeah, if two people agreed to have a monogamous relationship then cheating is being dishonest. It's a shame that polygamy is frowned upon so much that it's basically the default assumption in any relationship that the two are going to be monogamous. If that wasn't the case then people wouldn't have to cover up the fact that they're seeing another person, or be vilified for it once their significant other finds out.

Not all of them would be related by blood. If I have a kid with one lady, another guy has a kid with that same lady, but he also has one with another lady then that kid would be related to mine by extension only. They'd be step siblings essentially.

Nothing, IMO. If everyone involved are happy, they're happy.

I find it interesting that the people most in favor of polygamy are the type that have difficulty getting a girlfriend in a monogamous culture.

Just to point out an issue with wording

Polygamy has been used to refer to marriage context

Polyamory for dating but with zero regard for marital status between any people involved

I'm polyamorous. I get different types of romantic care from my partners and vice versa. Plus it means I can have partners who I only sometimes do sexy stuff with and others who might always be down.
