I comment all the time, but rarely post. Some background: Been following TRP since spring. Have been spinning plates for two years, although I wouldn't have known to call it that until coming here. I was gifted with good looks, am charming, have a good job, am confident, successful, etc. So I have had better than average success with women prior to discovering TRP, but TRP has really helped me deal with women better, particularly in matters that don't immediately lead to sex. I don't have much trouble getting laid, it's managing chicks that is hard for me. Especially ones I want to keep around a little more seriously. This is because I have been trained by society to play the nice guy with LTR prospects. What follows is one of my more successful outcomes where I did the opposite of what society told me.

It was a Saturday night and myself, my main plate, and a huge group of friends were out drinking (like 20-30, we owned the bar that night). One of the guys in our group that night (a guy that most of us don't care for or invite out, but a friend brought him along) grabbed me and approached these two girls who were friends of friends. He said some extremely nasty things to them (you can be forward, but it needs to be suave, not vile wretched shit, especially when you're past your prime and wasted) and after they finally got rid of him, I held back to apologize.

Eventually I moved on, headed back to the other side of the bar and approached my date and a friend who were chatting. Immediately my date gave me a dirty look, said something rude that escapes me, and was kind of dismissive. I blew it off and ignored her. Stood at the bar, made some passing remarks to my friend and waited to order a drink. I passed that shit test, which of course pissed her off more because she wanted me to get angry because of how she acted.

So she comes up and said something shitty about me "flirting with those girls". Now, I'm sure it did look flirty, because I'm a good socializer and if you aren't coming off flirty with women you're doing it wrong (slight dread/abundance mentality), but I told her the circumstances of my interaction with the girls and said, "but even if I was, your behavior wasn't appropriate, it was disrespectful, I do not have to and will not tolerate it." (Commanding respect.)

She responded by trying to go nuclear. She said "Oh my god, I can't believe you would do this. Don't talk to me again." I said "Ok." and turned away from her back to the bar. Outcome independence fellas. Immediately she said "No, you talk to me right now!" My response, of course: "Soooo, do talk to you or don't? Which is it?" (Pressure flip) Her: "Ohhh my god. I can't believe you right now."

After that, I said "come with me." I took her to a table off to itself where we could have some privacy and explained that I had put up with shit like this in several previous relationships (it's true. LTR game has been my weakness.), and that I had learned better. I reiterated that I wouldn't tolerate behavior like that. This whole time, I was indeed talking to her in exactly the same tone and manner I would a child. Aside from actually working for reasons described in the manosphere, it also helps me remain calm (I have a temper).

She apologised profusely and we went on to have a great time. I am dead serious that we stayed up all night and fucked for an hour at 6am and 3 more times the next morning/afternoon. That's not that unusual for me to be honest, but it was a first with my main plate, who has the highest SMV of my plates and plays the game well.
