I very much disagree with polygamy because it's utterly unfair to women. And I suspect that polyamory is just a way to cheat on a girl without lying to her.
It's really too bad that people do this to each other. The culture of political correctness makes people think that it's okay to do it and not okay to criticize it.
If his girlfriends are polyamorous too, then good for them -- they're not in as "serious" realtionship as he thinks. If they're not polyamorous, I really pity them because they're going to spend the majority of their time brainwashing themselves out of feeling some very natural feelings of jealousy. Why do you think they live 2 hours away from each other?
I wouldn't get into that sort of mess for a whole heck of a lot of reasons. If you want to philosophize whether it's moral or not, whether humans are meant to be monogamous or not, whether it contributes to a society that suppresses women or not, whatever -- but you can't deny the fact that adding in two other girls exponentially increases your risk of disease. With a monogamous partner, your risk is pretty low, given that you both start the relationship clean and don't cheat on each other. But when that partner has two other partners? If any one of you guys slip up, it's the ghonnorealsyphallaids for the lot of you.
