How many of you have had plates turn into meaningful relationships?

In my experience, plates turn into better LTRs because you start from a position of strength. That is, if you class all girls as potential plates to start with.

Just go with polyamory and mainplating. Much easier and less fallout when it goes south.

And plate spinning isn't promoted here just because it's great and empowering. It's because men are literally sexually starving and you will not vet or screen girls properly till you feel true abundance. Abundance teaches you what you do and don't want in a girl. It teaches you what you do and don't have to put up with and it teaches you that you are a lot more valuable than you thought.

There's always that struggle even with the best plates, to try and keep it from starting to fester and turn into a serious relationshit. Happened to me several times, and I had to be in top form managing these girls each time, or they WILL get destructive ideas that they're entitled to "more".

Once they do, good luck steering that tailspin anywhere good; they'll use a shaming tactics tank rush on you and their own bitterness as neverending fuel for it.

If you manage to keep balanced through all that, some will become super long term plates with a lot of mutual affection and love. Very enjoyable and no different from a default relationshit model, except the man is in power and has all the options, not the woman.

Zero. Most women that get plated have high n-counts. These aren't real women, just hollow shells of a woman who you pass the time and have fun with before moving on to another. Learn to properly vet for a LTR if looking for one-/ there's not really a middle ground here. Low n counts and compatability are musts for any serious ltr

I wouldn't enter a relationship with a woman who wasn't a plate first. Sex needs to be a central facet, because if things ever transition to relationship status, you need to be able to fall back on it being a core reason you're together. Also, as the gatekeeper of whether or not we have a relationship, I need her (as the gatekeeper of sex), to have surrendered her position completely before I even consider altering mine.

She doesn't want to? Plenty of fish in the sea. I am the prize. And that isn't just a mentality, I really have a shit ton going for me, and it's amazing how many women want it, yet try to play it down like I ain't shit. Hilarious.

Aside from kids, what possible reason could you have for wanting a "serious" relationship?

Companionship? Make friends or get a dog.

Keep your SMV high and your plates will treat you like a LTR, only better. You'll get all the feelz, the cuddlez, the romantic dinners, whatever it is your after, and you won't have to sacrifice the greatest strength you will have in any relationship ever: The ability to get up and walk away.
