How many people do you think you should date at one time for the most effective dating experience? How do you prioritize it if you have multiple people? At what point should both people be expected to drop their other people?

My answer:

As a guy I think dating 3 people at a time has been most effective for me. Reason being is because I've found women my age (early-late 20s) are often terrible at dating. They want ridiculous amounts of effort often with no reciprocation, will go ghost at the drop of a hat and are just very iffy likely because they have more options of guys. I've found that with 3 people you'll always have at least one person who's available, and if one goes ghost then you'll still have 2 people to date until you find a 3rd or become exclusive with one of the others. This is also the most effective for time I think as well. I think this is what some of the most successful men do while the ones who are less successful only date one girl at a time thinking they're being a 'gentleman' when really they're just playing themselves
