Song of Solomon 6

Song of Solomon 6:8
"There are sixty queens and eighty concubines,
And maidens without number;
Call me jaded, but this is part of the reason I don't like this book.  If Solomon is truly the one who wrote this, he was a serial philanderer/polygamist.

The man has 60 queens he's married to, 80 concubines he should be married to, and who knows what's meant by maidens (concubines-in-waiting?, yet we're supposed to believe that he has suddenly found his one "true love?"  I don't buy it.
