See my post here.

See some of the excellent criticisms of this TRP fantasy.

First off, the idea that you need to plate a woman for 6 months in order to "see beyond her mask" and "vet her as a potential wife" is ridiculous.

/u/LittleKnownFacts said:

Yeah your dealing with the type of woman that would fuck a man for 6-12 months without a sign of commitment! Surely she is a top candidate for you to build your empire.

/u/GridReXX responded:

Right! A woman who doesn’t care if y’all been fucking for a year and shows no signs of wanting your commitment doesn’t like you that. She doesn’t view you as husband material and is laissez les bon temps rouler until she finds Mr. Right.

You’ve been “plated” sweetie.

/u/LittleKnownFacts added:

Either your selecting for someone who likes you enough to fuck you, but doesn't want to date you. Or you are selecting for someone desperate enough to like you enough to date you but is willing to let her heart get broken for 6-12 months while he fucks other girls. Or he is selecting for women who are fucking him while in relationships with other men. There is no way for this to play out well.

/u/GridReXX summarized:

We’re saying in one situation she’s playing him — where she views him as a FWB and he doesn’t seem to get that.

In another situation they’re playing each other — he’s fucking other people. She’s fucking other people. Wasting each other’s time but perhaps it’s a fun fling. This situation could actually end up working out for both of them tbh if they end up together.

In last situation — he’s playing her and she’s the desperate loser in the situation.

None of these situation are ideal.

Yes you and some men prefer option 3 where they essentially hurt the feelings of a woman they claim to want to love and marry for a year+, but none of these are ideal for beginning a long term partnership.

/u/philomexa mentioned the issue that a "high-value" woman would not allow herself to be plated:

a high value woman for procreation/wifery/"dynasty building" would command commitment either before or concurrent with sex. She'd be the Madonna out of the Madonna/whore dichotomy and have discerning judgment on sex partners.

(Why is commitment-free sex such an important way to get to know someone? What makes it so special? In addition to these questions, aren't there entirely non-sexual ways to get to know someone?)

But let's put aside the idea of plating women in order to know them more deeply so as to vet them as a potential wife.

Let's address the quality of the plates. Is /u/vandaalen just describing a TRP fantasy of high-quality plates?

(It's also crucial to define "high quality": Are we talking about SMV, RMV, or MMV?)

/u/Goodonapontiachood said:

the only chicks they scope are the kind of chicks who are willing to fuck cheap ass dudes who won’t commit. Quality broads don’t. They ain’t into quality because they ain’t quality. It’s just a bunch of low renters trying to act like machines.

/u/philomexa pointed out:

There is no logic, its just a part of the alfalfa fantasy that you're SOOO attractive and alfalfa that a high value woman is willing to suspend what effectively makes her high value (according to terps) just for a taste of your peen.

Women put men in trial, always have always will. This segue is a daydream of men turning the tables on women for once (i.e. make the woman audition instead).

/u/philomexa responded to the idea that super high SMV can genuinely "turn the tables":

The chadliest chad whoever chaded will still experience rejection. There is no state of supreme alfalfaness that will every no into a yes. The tables will never full be turned, even Jesus Chad has to audition.
