That surprises you? Do you think rational women wouldn't want harems?
Scott tells us that polyamory seems like a suboptimal way to get sex, and I assume this holds true even for women - technically. But sex is not fungible.
Um... sure, that surprises me a bit. Also that they have the harems, even given wanting them.
I don't really know what you are saying in your second paragraph. Please explain?
...What?! You're surprised that rational people who are in demand can get what they want?
I may try to explain the second part later, but in my current condition I don't get your confusion.
Depending on what "what they want" is, yeah, I might be surprised.
I mean, clarify for me, what are we talking about here? "Polyamory is relatively common in rational circles, and poly relationships in said circles often/sometimes/commonly consist of (i.e., are circumscribed by) one woman who is dating several men"?
