First of all, I'll define the goal of a romantic relationship as the creation a small unit that has a more economically viable situation for the parties concerned; particularly when the relationship involves committed partnership in reproduction.
There are several different ways partners may be involved in polyamory, some examples being a unit of one man, and two or more women, or a unit with one woman and two or more men, or units with three same sex partners.
Now the traditional American view of a romantic relationship is a "couple", but is there any real benefits to having one kind of small unit over the other?
From my point of view disease might be a factor, seeing as the more partners you might have to trust is the larger chance that one of them be unfaithful and expose you to some unknown disease.
Other then that, I don't see a reason why three partners mught be less effective then two.
personally I'm not into sharing, but what do you guys think? -
I'm selfish and don't want to share. But if polygamy is what someone else wants then they can have it.

selfishness is a virtue I think. Not to say that thinking only for oneself is a positive way to live, seeing how as a species we require company and we have to prioritize others feelings in order to satisfy a mutual need for socialiazation, but putting the things that are consistent with your own values and needs over the needs of society at large is only natrual.

Meh, it's a little creepy, but let people do what they want.
