Honestly girlfriends or wives ? ? ?[/QUOTE]
Which confuses you? The use of plural, or the assumption that some of us would have a significant other?
Since there are several of us here, I am going to assume at least two of us have either a girlfriend or wife. That explains the use of plural. And I will point out that it IS possible to have multiple girlfriends. Plural wives is a little bit on the illegal side, but you would be surprised at all of the possible configurations of consensual non-monogamy. Poly folk in particular are known to sometimes have structured relationships that are essentially equivalent to marriage in everything but name. The government may only allow a single spouse, but you can get creative with legal paperwork to achieve practically the same end.
Or do you just doubt that anyone could pull off such a feat?
