Meet a potential alone or with FW?

Hmmm don’t know. My guess is the first one?

No

I have a theory that the best way to enter polygny would be with two first wives. Marry them at the same time. Then there would never be the idea of exclusivity or first wife rules etc..

Except who with one with one fish on the hook waits to land it until they have caught another? Someone with all the excitement of a promising relationship/partner doesn't put that relationship on hold while they look for another!
So....I doubt your theory will be deliberately tested. Joe Darger married two the same day. He had them both interested in him before he pursued getting to know either. II'm retty ssure though that this is not common.

I fully agree with your analysis. I believe it is rare. When I was young, I had a cousin dating two ladies at the same time. They all knew this.
He loved them both and in the end, believed he had to make a choice under the monogamy lie. He would have had a very different approach if he knew that he could have married them both.
