85% of women THINK they have a Plan B. What if Plan B doesn't work and they have to go with Plan C(ats) or Plan D(ivorce)? Then you're on Plan E(ver Alone).

Was a funny ass comment. Leave it alone.

[–]garlicextract7 points8 points9 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yes. that's literally what he means and you should absolutely take the comment at face value.

[–]fidderstix30 points31 points32 points 11 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

I think what they mean to say is:

"85% of women ADMIT to having a Plan B".

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points12 points 11 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

This is it. The "Plan B" guy is one of the few things women tend to be honest about. I actually have yet to meet any who denies it.

[–]Caligineus12 points13 points14 points 11 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Really? My experience with former LTRs was totally the opposite. A girl will never admit that the guy friend she keeps around is her backup plan. When asked point blank, "NO WAY OMG, he's just a friend!"

Plausible deniability in its most obvious form.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Oh, don't ever ask them about their specific backup. They'll simply admit that yes it's a thing, yes it's the majority, damn near all really, and do I? Well...is mine around?

They'll admit the theory is true, they never deny they have one. If they never say who it is around you, it's you.

Fortunately, if he's beta enough to hangdog around while she's with her plan A (ideally, you) he's repellent enough that she won't be with him long. And if she does try to get back together with you later, well, you've seen what kind of person she is, and hopefully Beta-Bitch did too.

[–]jcrpta2 points3 points4 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

and hopefully Beta-Bitch did too.

He didn't, that's why he's still hanging around.

In other news, the sky is blue.

I dated this one girl and even moved in with her. I come home from work one day and she is hanging out with the male neighbor from across the street. I tell her I'm not having any of it and if she continues to hang out with him I'm done.

She tells me I'm jealous and paranoid and that he has a girlfriend and he is her cousin so I'm in the wrong and she would never do anything like that with a relative. Well, guess who she was dating two days after I decided to move out? You guessed it, her alleged "cousin". When I saw her at the local bar months later I said "I never knew you were so kinky, being into incest and all".

Women's words aren't worth shit. They're so passionate, so indignant, so convincing on a whim - but it's all empty.

It took me far to long to learn that chicks can cry instantaneously at the drop of a hat.

[–]cock_pussy_up12 points13 points14 points 11 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

Their problem is, first, the type of man who would stick around as a "Plan B" is probably undesirable and has limited options. Men with options are unlikely to wait around as a long-term benchwarmer for some chick who won't sleep with them within a reasonable time frame. Secondly, the willingness of even Beta Orbiters to wait around will diminish as the women get older and less attractive. So a cute 18 yo girl might have several beta orbiters, but an overweight 50 year old probably won't have so many. Or, if she does, they will be very pathetic and sad cases.

Can anyone find or link the actual study? As much as this is an interesting anecdote I'd like to see the full study.

[–]SlayingGoats0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago* (2 children) | Copy Link

Women, especially those in committed relationships, will keep a beta orbiter on emergency standby.

Happened with my Ex. She had the most hardcore beta orbiter. He was the college "faggot", total betabux. Always bought my girlfriend chocolate and would run errands like a paper boy for her. One time she was on the phone to him whilst I was plowing her from behind. Chat so much shit about him on a daily basis.

3 weeks after we break up, they're dating lmfao. I feel sorry for him, being strung along for two years. He has no idea what he's in to.

That relationship ain't gunna last long at all.

[–]Roshambo_USMC2 points3 points4 points 11 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

As Chris Rock said many years ago, a platonic friend of a woman is a dick in a glass case. In case of emergency, break open glass.

[–]rabidrabbity0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Aren't relationships magical.

[–]PlanB_pedofile-3 points-2 points-1 points 11 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I'm someone's plan b. What they don't know is they are also my plan D.

Being an orbiter comes with the territory of being around women. Unless you are so passive and constantly pulling new very other day, there will be that one gal that is in your circle.

Key to orbiting is you setting the orbit. Always be at escape velocity so that if thing can go another way (you find another plate, she gets married,) you can escape orbit without much effort.

Don't be into such a deep orbit that you are her girlfriend. Always be willing to swing to other opportunities at a moments notice.

Being inside a woman's orbit could provide social proof. She may introduce you to new opportunities, open some doors, even provide favors.

[–]Calbruin6 points7 points8 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

There is so much tail in the world. Why would you ever need to orbit?

[+]sir_wankalot_here-20 points-19 points-18 points 11 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Are you saying women are smarter then men ? What percentage of men have a plan B ? Having a plan B seems logical to me.
