fr0d0,
I feel the same way about monogamy but I bet it is due to social programming rather than how I am "built". There is no way to differentiate between the two so I don't really know. Just looking at how marriage seems to progress I would say that it is poorly engineered and have given thought to open relationships. Open relationships would be the way to go IF society was set up that way. As it is I would say that there are too many barriers (Boyfriends of girls I would like to, um, get to know better) to happiness along that path.
I love this sentence, "We crave societal grouping which is increasingly denied in civilisation where there always seems to be mobility towards isolation." I feel it is true and yet enjoy the benefits from my isolation.
