Is it better to have less attractive plates than no plates at all?

I think as long as your attracted to them is all that matters but that’s just me

You have to slay a couple of dragons before you reach the princess.

Pimpcool420 · 2020-01-06T22:40:59+00:00

I'd say yeah, as long as they're not consuming a lot of your time.

I have 2 less-attractive girls who live walking distance who will come whenever I call. No regrets with either, but the one tries to chit-chat with me way more than the other one.

There's been times in the past I've driven 40+ minutes to hook up with people I didn't like that much. Couldn't help but thinking "this is a bad use of my time".

It's not the most helpful answer, but just do whatever you want

I’m assuming you’re speaking in terms of preselection, where women find you more attractive because you already have women who are attracted to you. It’s a bad thing if the woman you hope to attract is a much higher SMV than the woman on your arm. So if your plate is a 6 but the girl looking at you is a 9, it works against you. That woman knows she’s not working for the same men that a 6 is, she’s just not on her radar as competition. But if the woman you’re trying to attract is a 7, well, she probably sees that 6 as close enough in SMV to be competition. She might think “hey I’m hotter than her, I’ve got a good chance for the steal here” but at the same time doesn’t feel like she’s out of your league.

As long as they pass your boner test, it's better than rosy palm.

greenwaffulz · 2020-01-06T23:14:23+00:00

Yeah definitely. Even they arent supermodel hot it's nice to have that female attention (like them stroking your hair after sex, or doing a date night) that you can't get with your platonic female friends or guy friends (and what most MGTOW guys miss out on!!) .

But I will say that the longer you've been in the dating market the hotter girls you feel entitled to so if it means you have less plates or even 1 or 2 for a period of time you might end up being fine with that.

I believe that as long as you’re attracted to them, they should be plates.

They shouldn’t be so low tier that you would kill yourself if someone found out that you hooked up with them, but if you only have 1 high tier plate then u will probably develop oneitis.

If you have no plates at all then it will be hard for u to act “in abundance” & then when your first good plate comes around u will make 10x more mistakes than if u already had a few average plates.

As long you're having a good time with them bud, it's all what matters. No need for external validation

BeLeafer_1967 · 2020-01-07T00:40:57+00:00

Nah you’re better off doing monkmode and raising your SMV. Don’t waste time on chicks you’re not very attracted to

RPNorvell · 2020-01-07T10:08:38+00:00

Fuck what you want to fuck.

creating_my_life · 2020-01-07T04:22:42+00:00

It's better to have the confidence in yourself to be able to know who you want to fuck and not ask anyone else's opinion. Do you want to fuck a particular girl? Great, go for it. Would you rather not because she's less attractive? Whatever dude, your call.

RivenHalf · 2020-01-07T02:29:12+00:00

Answer your own question, is it? How attractive are you? How together is you life? Are you even capable of getting more attractive women? Are you looking for a long term partner or just trying to get your dick wet. This shit is nuance. Stop seeking cookie cutter answers.

TRPGaveMeLife · 2020-01-06T23:43:17+00:00

It’s good for abundance mentality

bigmaddenguy · 2020-01-07T01:30:00+00:00

Personal preference, no "right" answer. I don't like wasting my time, so I don't. But it's not like I think I am "above" it. If I enjoyed putting my time towards that, I'd do it.

2020-01-07T02:04:36+00:00

Yes if you yourself find them attractive and actually want to see them. If you're just checking off an arbitrary list then you're wasting valuable time.

2020-01-07T03:49:09+00:00

Nothing special about that situation. If you want to find special, you have to be special yourself.

XXXMersenne · 2020-01-07T10:17:35+00:00

Well that obviously depends on what you want.

But you're a pervert who doesn't know what he wants and so will outsource desire here instead.

Get an attractive plate; why would you be with somone(s) you find unattractive? The bare sustenance standards of sex startved betas is not redpill. No.

Lift, Read & Go out.

When you have freedom & choice with women you don't wring your hands over likwise trivialities.

silent_dominant · 2020-01-07T15:50:04+00:00

I assume ou might lose SMV to higher level girls if they know you're fucking "lesser" women, but I'm not sure.

It's possible you can turn it around and make them think "why does he give attention to that HB5 and not to me?" But that sounds pretty hard

xoxuv · 2020-01-07T20:15:54+00:00

Is it better to have less attractive plates than no plates at al

Off course. You need practice dealing with women.

MattyAnon · 2020-01-07T23:50:55+00:00

Get the best you can. If they're better than nothing, then yes do it. Upgrade later as you can.

If they're worse than nothing then don't bother.

shotsurprise10 · 2020-01-07T00:08:21+00:00

honestly i have no interest in fucking substandard chicks. Excluding when i'm drunk, i'd rather fuck a 9 once a month than a 7 twice a week.

If you're not at the level where you can touch those top tier women you have one option - improve.

Lift more, earn more

Less attractive plates work the hardest and are the most appreciative man. Always have a few.
