Not recommended can mean different things... but the main meaning I think she was using was that there will be no extra reward in doing so... or having more than one wife won't make you any diff from other men who have only one... kinda like that.

I think there is a difference. A man who marries more than one woman has a far greater responsibility than a man who marries only one. It is also very much likely that the man with more wives has more children, which is encouraged in Islam. And as he fulfills all their rights, so will he reap more rewards from Allah

for the greater difficulty he has endured compared to one who has only one wife.
