"Does Monogamy Work? (Watch if You Value Your Relationship)"

As humans, we were created to have monogamous relationships, it is the only way we can form healthy families, healthy offspring, and pass on the values that made us superior to animals both intellectually and spiritually.
Individual preferences are respected and people can now choose opposite or imaginary genders, or live in polygamous/promiscuous relationships. But any deviation from nature will have a cost in the present and in the future as individuals and, worse still, as a society. It is already being seen. It is enough to see the physically and mentally ruined appearance of so many people.
And as the degeneration of the natural essence of people progresses, they will become more and more of a multitude without autonomy and incapable of being truly free, they will be dominated by a minority and slave-owning elite, on which they will depend for their existence. Nothing makes a society and individuals stronger and freer than well-structured families capable of transmitting high spiritual values and principles.

You are correct in that pair-bonding and procreation are our inborn default positions encoded in our genes from birth as it is for every living creature, but it is an idealistic notion to believe they still have the same benefits in today's world that they did in the last century. For a straight man, an LTR can still work assuming he finds a woman that isn't brainwashed by woke, anti-traditionalist, pro-feminist, anti-patriarchal modernity that prevails heavily in the West. As such, LTRs and especially marriages are becoming rapidly diminishing prospects for men (divorce rate at >50% of which 80% are instigated by the wife) as the incidence of no-fault divorces rise coupled with the majority of neo-liberal divorce courts favoring the wife over the husband even with no fault on his part. The result is a spike in the suicide rate amongst divorced men.

In this case, awareness of these massive alterations in gender dynamics is key to his ability to survive and adapt to this new landscape in which his freedom, self-preservation, self-improvement and autonomy can then be found in going his own way or, if he so desires, in looking overseas to connect with traditional women that support, honor and respect their men.
