This always was, and is, the natural order: Women want serial monogamy. She wants the highest-value man she can get, all to herself, until a better man wants her. Men want polygyny. He wants to collect as many high-value women that desire him, and will follow him, as he can.

My argument isn't the one you discussed here - that sexual dimorphism in behavior developed, it's that women have an older behavioral program (play men against each other) that got tweaked (be faithful to a tribe-backed husband) http://www.gnxp.com/MT2/archives/003689.html …

The behavior under discussion doesn't exist today ( in the populations looked at - mostly European) and there's good evidence that it's been rare for centuries. Simplest explanation: the idea is just wrong.
