My assumption is the women wanted a family but also wanted to maintain their careers so the thought of a husband taking care of the children while they proceed with their careers seemed like a great idea. As mentioned that households expenses is high so they must have good paying jobs.
Also being able to cook help with food expenses. No need hire baby sitter or house cleaner as the man just does em all. Also they being in 1 big apartment living together while 4 of em having jobs also does sound pretty good, and money saving.
This actually makes sense, and potentially this is what the future will look like for developed nations with low birth rates and women in the workplace. Maybe this is how we come around from low birthrates, in a very surprising way I don't think anyone would've expected.
Listen, I know this is just supposed to be a funny, throwaway comment, but he’s literally doing something most harem protags don’t do: actually being nice, respectful and helping his partners.
Consensual polyamory is valid, and it's fine if a partner wants to stay home and do the housework. The only thing I think is wrong is having more kids than you can emotionally commit to. Using children to break some record isn't exactly the greatest look.
People literally always had kids to fulfill their wants, but the next level selfishness. The kids are nothing more a tool to be used as cattle for the country s birth rate
this entire story is fishy. its like one of those cases where everything seems fine on the outside but filth on the inside. keep in mind. his goal is to be a human breeder, not a father and hes certainly not being a husband or a father figure either.
@@dendrien Nah, I'd not make assumption like you. There's lack of personal information. There's a possibility of sensationalism in the Article, that's why it written to look fine, and not knowing more personal information.
@@dendrien I don't think it's safe to assume their personalities, the Article literally call it "mooching off" too easily, and reading the other person's comment - @xiaohuli96, that have many likes, respects the Japanese guy's parties opinion. Surely, we have different perspectives.
They say that for women but never for "house husbands" isn't that wild. The minute THESE TYPES of men come on the scene everyone has a head down and a.cough and gets silent
Man I can't imagine cooking and cleaning up after 6 people... And he still wants more children. One day man will be so exhausted he won't be able to keep up with his polyamory family.
Housework is still work too. If he’s a good husband who takes care of their children and wives and everyone is happy with the situation I don’t see anything wrong with it. He’s not “the boss” of these women, he doesn’t need to assert dominance over them, nor is he “mooching off” of them if he’s taking care of the house and children while the women work, or is that just how men see housewives in general? That might be a very simple explanation as to why birth rates are declining lol. People who are housemakers should be valued more.
And yet no matter how much housework she did or how well she cooked, if a woman did what he's doing, she'd be slut-shamed and called a gold-digger. Men ☕
As a muslim female who has heard abt polygamous relationships around her her whole life, its quite interesting to me hearing non muslims’ perspective of the topic, and actual people who are going through it. I definitely wanna watch an interview on them by joey, so i hope this video gets enough likes for it to be possible.
In the US, it's a thing among Mormons. It's still considered weird to the country majority and only one can legaly be a wife. There is a reality show called Sister Wives.
While this may look interesting. I can guarantee that a lot of those kids will hate him when they grow up. If raising 3 or 4 kids is already hard, imagine 50...
Right. A lot of people don't think about the remifications of having a tribe of kids. Many will be emotionally neglected and feel a lot of resentment. Populating the whole community is a COMMON fantasy for men....of every culture. But the kids grow into adults who badtalk their father all the time. I've heard it many times, especially from Africans.
@@rumplstiltztinkerstein But will they though? He is a stay at home dad, so he will always be with them making sure they get attention. When you start to go above 10 the kids will have so broad age span that the older ones will be independent. It's also not just one mom either, they are 4 that can share the workload. Raising 3 or 4 kids is hard for two adults working two jobs. Here you have 4 adults with one stay at home caretaker.
@@Mrsuperdestroyer There is the possibility. For 50 kids I think it is impossible. He is having those kids just to become popular and break the world record. I don't think that he understands just how hard it is going to be.
@@rumplstiltztinkersteinyeah he can’t because there is royalties in chine with cubbines with over 100s of kids I mean maybe today he has the most kids but impossible for the most in history.
Well if you think about it them pooling their resources together will actually allow them to live quite well. They have a free housekeeper who loves them, they dont really have to worry about expenses since its split between each other, which means that they can save more personally to spend on what they want. Hell if they bought the house then they would only have to pay tax and utilities which means their expenses would be way lower than if they were to be in a monogamous relationship. Only issue I see is if they end up getting “bored” of their situation. But having 3+ people to rely on for anything is a great deal overall.
@@WhuDhat Bro the META jokes are insanely funny. More anime should do this lmao. Especially the off-hand comments the pink-head gives sometimes... In one of the scenes, after Rentaro rizzes up the scientist girl, all of the girls are praising Rentaro in their own words. Meanwhile, the pink-head just says, "I'm so wet rn." Like wtf xD!
As long as the children grow up healthy, happy and loved I don't really see a problem with this. Just because I don't want to live like this doesn't mean they can't. That said, I don't think you can be a good father to 50+ kids, you simply won't have the time of the day for it.
That was honestly my biggest concern. I can see this being happy and healthy on a slightly smaller scale, but if he's aiming for that many wives and children, there's no way that some of those wives, especially the ones who live separate, aren't just living as single mothers with a weekend dad/husband. Also, I'd be interested to know if the wives are allowed extramarital boyfriends so they have their emotional/physical needs met as well, ya know?
Imagine growing up with 50+ siblings. Will they all be introduced to each other or will they live separately? Will they live in groups? What if two siblings meet up later in life and hook up with each other, not knowing they're siblings?
@@jaykay3512"if i can't do it, noone can. It's i-i-i-impooossiibleeee, wweeeeehhh!!!!" Yeah, alright dude. Ik for sure there're enough people who could do that and be happy.
Imagine 54 siblings and half-siblings and then what if all 54 of them have children of their own? Dating could get tricky when they grow up if they don't all keep tabs on who their siblings are - don't want to find out your sexual partner shares the same father/grandfather as you!
@@jihyungpark535 the chance isnt much higher with cousins than with strangers. I think strangers is 3% to get a "bad" child while cousins are 4% Edit: nvm it can be up to 6% this double chance
Which is still a lot lower odds of complications than couples all around the world take every day when they try to conceive (though most probably didn't get screen to know they have relatively high odds of complication). Incest can be 'bad' for a several reasons, but I hate how common it is to spread misinformation like, "if you have children with a 2nd cousin, the child will be a horribly deformed mutant hellspawn!" @@Canadian_Teemo
I have two children and a stay at home wife. That's enough responsibility for the rest of my life. How would you even have time for multiple relationships with so many children? Every parent knows you are basically your children's servants and teachers for the foreseeable future.
Children's servants? Sounds a little bit harsh and emotionless. Even though I don't have kids of my own, I have 2 nephews and they helped out their parents in the household chores, even in cooking. Of course, as they grew up they weren't that keen anymore but they still do it if they have to.
Sounds like you shouldn’t have had kids. If you’re not ready to be your kids “servant” (aka taking care of their basic needs and teaching them how to be self reliant slowly as they grow up-) then you should wrap your willy. This man is a stay at home dad and the women are the ones working, thus providing the household. Dunno about the kids outside of the relationship tho.
@@The_Catnipgiving your kids choice is a great way to teach them responsibility too! Have them help you cook, clean with them, praise them for doing a good job when they do! That way it will be less of a tedious feeling when they grow up and gotta do it all on their own.
@@tikimillie When did I ever say I wasn't willing to be my kid's servant, much less imply that I am not a worthy caregiver? Get offline and have some kids of your own, unless you feel you're less than capable. I was making a relatable comment to other parents, not explicitly about how this family functions, but how I considered it compared to my own life. jeez.
At first I thought it would just be a guy being human garbage, going behind his wives' backs and taking advantage of them, but when I heard it's a polygamous relationship and he contributes with the house work, I'm more chill about it. If they're happy, then whatever, it's not hurting anyone else.
you know there are stay home dads in america right and secret harems legal because they never sign marriage certificates and don't identify as lover but are lovers in secret lol also alabama
This reminds of girlfriend girlfriend. One man that is so honest that he basically ask all 4 of them to be his girlfriend. They all agree in the end thou. It is Also Similar to 100 girlfriend but more chaotic
im sorry im bringing this up. but when some religion allowing polygamy. its seems bad and disgusting. even in that religion its clearly stated if you can treat them fairly and make them happy you allowed to have polygamy relationship. if not that's a sin. this man literally practices that value on his relationship and its not bad as its seems
@@SF151SFit's bad and disgusting because the dynamic is about these women serving the man and the idea is that he doesn't have to do anything, leaving all the work to the women. Polyamory exists outside of religion and some people have probably figured how to work it out without humiliating/abusing their partners.
okay we all know he got 4 wives, but he got 4 wives that are OKAY with polygamy to the extent that some of them live together under one roof. that right there is the more amazing part
@@ceshmate1953 Fr, if he's serious about this proposition, it won't be as easygoing as all the virgin comments make it out to be. That's 54x the meals, medicine, and diapers and 53 days the women could be doing the tango with someone else on the side, and it's socially acceptable there. But if that's what all parties agree to do, then more power to them.
@@ceshmate1953 he gonna need more wives definitely. Aint no way each of the woman can have nine children and have the family raise them all together with just 7 adults.
As a Muslim it quite normal for men to have multiple wives. My grandpa had 4 wives and 30 children. I don’t find this weird except for the husband not haveing a job
When he showed that picture of all of them I said, the bottom right will *redacted* the top left’s kids out of jealousy, causing top left to *redacted* her, causing her to go to jail. He’ll spend most of his time with top right, causing bottom left to *redacted* her *redacted* top right, him, and herself, leaving her child the only remaining member of this mess who might play a game of sudoku when the reality of it gets too much to bare…
Yes, get an interview with all of them. As a woman who was in a monogamous marriage, I’m curious about these young women & their opinions. My husband, who will always be the love of my life, passed away 27 years ago. I have not dated as I’m comfortable with who I am. I was in the US Navy when we met as was he. It took 4 years to be together permanently. I would never have agreed to having another person in our marriage. Except for our daughter, of course, whom we had after 11 years together. Track them down, Joey. You’d be a perfect interviewer for this!
@@charliefox7482 As a woman in a polyamorous long-term relationship, you lived the correct lifestyle that benefits society. My lifestyle does not benefit society and any children brought into the mix would not do well. Our relationship works because we're both bi and have trauma that prevents us from forming bonds to other people that are stronger than our own. If we were healthier, our relationship would not work, and would have to be monogamous. This only works in times of crisis.
@@RisetoStrength I was in a monogamous relationship. But I get the society thing & I do think that played a part in my wanting to get married. However, I was sexually assaulted a year before I met Doug & he had just gone through a divorce & his ex got full custody of their daughter. So, neither of us was interested in romantic involvement when we met. We did things in a group but I had a horse which I showed on weekends at shows. Doug raced a 1965 Mustang at the drag strip. It’s amazing we actually decided to take a chance & date. My daughter is gay & trans and has a partner who’s the same but they are polyamorous. And that works for them. We live near Seattle which is the best place we could be.
@@charliefox7482 The term is "autogynephilia". It isn't gender dysphoria unless they're suffering in their own skin. If they're comfortable enough to be attracted to the opposite sex, they're an autogynephiliac.
4 wives, 2 girlfriends and 54 children... You could say that on a good day he should be the happiest man in the world. Anything like Christmas and he's so screwed.
@@crawlingboy I mean, is he though? He has girlfriends on the side. Also the way Joey mentioned that the guy maintains his legal marriage status is questionable.
@@crawlingboy 4 wives for us Muslims is not compulsory, it's a limit of how many wives you can have. People before Islam used to have a crazy number of wives and Islam just put a limit to how many you can have.
Being around a lot of poly relationships (and I mean like a large portion of my extended social group where myself and my partner are the outliers for being monogamous) the most outrageous is 54 children. Most poly people I know have calendars and excel sheets to keep track of their partners and schedules.
YO totally respectable as long as all parties included are fine with it and the children don't get neglected. I think people call it "mooching off" too easily. He IS taking care of the household, multiple women and children. I can barely cook for- and clean after myself so props to this guy.
@@andrepayne4349That's a stereotypical thinking. If a woman working is fine then it should be fine with man to be staying at home husband. In a family, one needs to provide and one needs to nurture, who will take which role is for couples to decide.
Honestly, i can see the value in this. You have a guy who is basically vetted by 4 other women as husband material-so husband they did not mind sharing. You dont need to entertain your husband daily, you get to have you independence, while you still get to have a child while you still could. There is essentially a form of insurance where 3 other women are financially supportive of your family. Its basically a co-op, a mutated revival of the communal supportive relationships in a village or multigenerational household from days bygone.
@@StoneCBears that's exactly how clans were formed. Only issue in the past men were scarce due to war famine, disease etc. So one successful man could have a ton of wives and kids. In this era men outnumber women globally. Imagine Roving bands of single men angry they are denied wives attacking and pillaging settlements. Itll be dark ages again until the number balance out once more.
Omg, when you said the Japanese word 'himo' I started to laugh. It kind of works in my native language, Finnish. It can be translated as 'to crave' something. However, the word 'himo' can also be translated to 'lust' as in the seven deadly sins 'lust' 😂
He'll be the one with the 100 wives that really really really really really love him. Also he must get banned from the divorcing office because he's ex-wife farming.
Consensual Poly: No issues, completely fine. Live your life and be happy. Having kids just to get famous: Garbage. Horrible thing to do. Get some help and look into a record that doesn't involve traumatizing a generation.
I can't believe it took more than 16 minutes out of a 19 minute video for Joey to actually say what I had been wondering since he started. He is not really married to 4 women, thus he doesn't really have 4 wives.
People can't even take care of their 1,2,3 kids in the States, and this has 54 children in japan? Most are gonna be emotionally neglected. As a female, I, also, would never share my s/o. Just seems icky af.
Joey, please interview the man and his wives & girlfriends. I think it would be an interesting interview (especially with the wives/girlfriends). Just curious, what is Aki's opinion about this article?
Polygamy/Polygyny was a thing in most cultures prior to the spread of Christianity. And there is a reason for that. A lot of men died in wars, so the excess of women had to reproduce. Another reason is that powerful men had the ability to have harems. The entire reason for the spread of male monogamy is Christianity. (female monogamy was enforced by almost every culture in history).
I kind of understand why that could work. Asian cultures tend to neglect emotional needs and many Asian people I’ve seen are so detached from their own emotions they can probably roll with this type of arrangements out of practicality. That’s not for anyone who actually wants to bond with their partner though. You’re living in a group where nobody is especially close to you. You’re just collaborating.
like Kiyotaka Ayanokōji from Classroom of the Elite if it ends with an harem and if he shows genuine love and attachment to more than 1 woman or 2 it should be up to 5 women that want & end up with him kinda like The Fruit of Grisaia anime ending
A man can dream and he walking the path toward it but there is no way he can support the family with their income unless he is planning to live in poverty before half way through his dream. If he was a guy who mad like 100k+$ a month he would have all my blessings
I think as he gets more wives, they try to compete more and more for his attention and he gains more and more power over them. It's a really smart psychological trick
I mean most people don't really value sex as something special which is why the have one night stands. If you've had a one night stand you don't really value monogamy either so it makes sense.
Would absolutely be fascinated with an interview with this guy and possibly his wives too--or even off camera comments from his kids... Like..what do they all seriously think about their situation and how do they explain it to other people. Just superrrr curious of it all. Hope you could make this happen!
Dudes can do that without an entire harem though. Some men are stay at home dads. Which is fine as long as they take care of the kiddos properly. And I hate to say it, but I can't imagine the kids are taken care of properly in his case
Polygamy is weird, polyamory is cool though. For the uninitiated polygamy is one man with multiple wives; polyamory on the other hand is an arrangements where all partners can have multiple partners.
Forget my pfp and username. You forgot the definition of beta, alpha and sigma Sigma by definition is someone who conquers everything alone Beta by definition are the followers of alpha or the working class of our society Alpha by definition are the leader of the group Sigmas definitely has self respect and morals
his affords should inspired Japanese men to follow suit but not to go down in history to break a record of having many children with more women, but because they can't decide just just being with 1 woman because they attract more women that genuine love him! Also I think a men that has 3 or 5 women should stick with 2 or 3 kids limit with all the women he has kids with. As for these Monogamous couples that should go for the 4 kids limit instead 1 or 2 kids than that could help Japan's birthrate and the same just apply to South Korea!
The dude is literally the main protag here, we're ALL just side characters. He possesses the most powerful rizz of our era, he reached Super Saiyan Rizz.
And people say Muslims are weird for having this phenomenon 🤣 I don't approve of polygamy myself (my grandfather had two wives, so I know the horrors), but I know there are people who like this type of relationships or don't mind it. As a country that appreciates their traditions and history, I wonder how the Japanese are reacting to this person's behavior. Yes it is against the law, but this type of behavior was very common in their history. A lot of women want to focus on their careers too, but still want to married and have kids. To have a stay-at-home husband who takes care of the home and doesn't require their attention all the time might be an appealing idea for some women 😅
You know, the only 2 problems I see with polygamy is the amount of money you need, and the probable fights between everyone. As far as I can tell, this guy found a solution to both. Man’s taking the Aijou Rentaro route and succeeding.😏
nah the problem isn't polygame but the result from it. 50+ children. That's where the money situtation becomes a problem. How is he gonna take care of all of them without hiring servants ?
@@ceshmate1953 Like how they did in the past. Older siblings usually take care of younger siblings. Polygamy isn't a new concept, it has been a thing since the dawn of mankind.
tell me you were raised in a dysfunctional household without telling me you were raised in a dysfunctional household (sorry, i had to, genunely, i'm sorry)
Okay, the math doesn't add up, or it does but in a concerning way. He said he didn't have to work for 10 years because of living with his wives. His wives are all in their 20s, with the first one being supposedly 22. How on earth did this happen exactly?
I dont envy the dude, but theres way unhealthier versions here in the US or in other countries and cultures lol. He seems a lot more healthy, honest and positive than I expected really. (Edit: his dog is cute too)
I call BS on the husband not working for ten years. He definitely have back up financial investment plans to support his whole family. No way you would be this insane to have this many household and not even prepare to support with diligence. And you have to consider the time you need to give to raise children in proper manner.
