Can a plate earn commitment? What must they do to get the upgrade?

The type of woman who would agree to be a plate is rarely LTR material

TempestTcup · 2016-05-02T13:35:01+00:00

I think the highest commitment a plate will ever get is Top Plate because once one of his many women, always one of his many women. I've known plates to move in and be in a committed living arrangement, but I haven't yet seen the man drop other women from his routine for a woman who plated herself.

I have seen men drop all of his other women for a woman who refuses to be plated and is of high enough quality (adds a lot of value to his life) that the man decides that an exclusive relationship with this one woman is worth that exclusivity. Most of the hard-core old school PUAs have done this, and many are now married to those women.

A woman willing to endure life as a plate of Chad Thundercock No. 19 reveals a lack of self-awareness, realistic appraisal, and long-term thinking necessary for a long-term relationship, IMO. A woman who believes she can lock down a sociopathic Chad is naive at best, delusional at worst. This lowers her RMV, and if she's pushing her upper-20s, her SMV clock ruthlessly ticks her value away.

This compounds with today's horrible divorce laws, which hurt every woman's RMV nationwide (assuming RP ideas spread).

This isn't absolute. There are shades of greys and variation in-between. I prefer a point system, where her RMV decreases for every year-long revolution around the CC, but she can compensate with intoxicating charisma, shared values with a prospecting mate, etc. Shit's complex.

This is the crux of some contention in the womens' subs lately.

Some senior RP guys claim that every woman has to pass through "plate" phase, because when you first start seeing her and haven't committed or said words of exclusivity, she is by definition a plate.

But I do not recommend this outlook for women. (1) if he was intentionally "spinning" plates, AKA deliberately fucking multiple people, his main goal is not the same as yours, whether or not you eventually get exclusivity. (2) Dirty as hell to be sleeping with someone who just jumped out of someone else's bed. If it was in someone else really recently, I don't want it. (3) There are still plenty of men who want monogamy and are actually looking for an LTR, not just willing to have one if someone good enough shows up.

Earn commitment? You mean by putting enough sex tokens in? XD

My opinion is that commitment should be earned on a continuous basis, just as men have to earn sex on a continuous basis. You can't just seduce a woman once and then say; 'right, now you have to have sex with me whenever I want,' then proceed to put in zero effort, so why should a woman get any guarantee of commitment from a man?

GridReXX · 2016-05-02T19:15:25+00:00

What does plate mean?

Is it a woman who has sex with someone casually, but then the two end up LTRing or marrying? Because I see that often.

Halp! I need a definition.

TRP claims about the life long loyalty of virgins

Actually, a few of my friends were with virgins at some point (I am only talking about those who were "unlikely" virgins, i.e. age 18 and older), and the one trait they had in common was indeed that they were exceedingly loyal (or clingy).

However, in 2 of the 3 cases, they would have been far better off had these women broken up far earlier. Which is also why I think virginity as such is overrated at TRP - just because a woman doesn't bail at the first chance doesn't make her a good partner.

In the imitable words of Dante Nero: Be a better bitch. If you're dope, he's going to want to lock it down, and that's true even for TRPers. The difference is, that bar is a fuckload harder to chin than it is for a BPer. You don't just have to be better than his hand, you have to be better than all his other bitches...combined.

And an experienced woman may be better suited to understand and appreciate what her partner is bringing to the table.

Ah yes, one of my favorites. This is possible, in theory, but basically never works out in practice. Sure does make a lovely broom to sweep your past indiscretions under the rug though, doesn't it? And of course, BPers are more than eager to swallow the excuse if you show them a nipple now and again.

Well the thing is, commitment from and to the sort of guy who spins plates isn't an upgrade, it is a downgrade. His peen is the most of what he has to offer and if you look beyond that for things like character, kindness, decency etc you are going to be sorely disappointed and forever having to fill the ethical void yourself. So the first step towards obtaining worthwhile commitment is to ditch the player.

Can a plate earn commitment?

All commitment must be earned.

What must they do to get the upgrade?

Inspire men to want it.

And why is the good sexual chemistry/connection something to count against a future partner?

It isn't.

A woman with a long sexual history isn't a bad choice because she had sex. She's a bad choice because none of those men ever kept her, and it's probably because they know something you don't.

Far too many LTR degrade into a roommate/friend situation where all the effort that both people put into it is just not worth what you get out of it. I do have an unusually low level of codependency compared to most of the population though. I think the average red piller is too obsessed with his own future happiness to lock themselves into a modern day LTR no matter how good the woman is. So nothing basically.

There's a whole post - perhaps it is in the sidebar - about promoting and demoing plates etc.

After all, a virgin can become a shallow thrill junkie too.

But she's not right now, and hasn't been in the past, and past behavior is one of the best predictors of future behavior.

Sunhappy_DC · 2016-05-02T17:50:13+00:00

even Superhead got married. She had to downgrade though....

A comprehensive survey of traditional societies in the world shows that 83.39 percent of them practice polygyny, 16.14 percent practice monogamy, and 0.47 percent practice polyandry. Now what this means people is that it is completely normal for humans to behave in this way. It is completely expected behaviour based on the body weight differences between the genders and the fact that we ate mammals.

Spinning plates is simply polygyny with a new title. It is as old as evolution, it is completely normal and if you do not like it it means you have a low SMV or you are wilfully deluding yourself so you can live in a self made fantasy castle built out of fee fees and unicorns and rainbows. In that magical world a knight in shining armour is around every corner and vampires and dominator businessman are offering commitment.

If i've relegated her to plate there is generally no coming back.

The answer will be different from every guy who spins plates. For me a plate earns an upgrade by being an amazing woman, who is loyal and attentitive. I do not want an LTR with a woman who has been with lots of guys because I have concerns about her ability to pair bond. It is a red flag to me and means I do not consider any such woman for an LTR.

redmachines · 2016-05-02T16:41:45+00:00

Date another man. So hilarious to see desperate women jump up and down for mediocre men once they realize that Chad isn't coming.
