Here's the article: 14 Reasons Why Having A Guy Best Friend Is Better Than A Boyfriend.

I don't really have too much insight into this. It's pretty rudimentary, but what I can say is that this is a perfect example of how girls view beta orbiters. They're non-sexual, completely platonic guys that girls can use and abuse for their own profit.

With this understanding of mutual un-attraction, we are free to do gross things, like burp and fart and talk with our mouths filled to the brim. In fact, we can, and often do, talk about pooping, burping and farting while talking with our mouths filled to the brim.

Don't wanna put in some effort to be polite or dress nice? No problem, she feels as though she can fart and be disgusting. She knows, inherently, that any man worth dating wouldn't deal with these traits, but since this guy is such a pansy that she sees him for the vagina he is, she can literally do anything without repercussions. In fact, she says it herself:

Simply put, unlike a boyfriend, who could potentially end things at any given moment, your male best friend does not have the luxury of calling it quits as soon as the going gets tough.

If your boyfriend doesn’t respond to a “get up, let’s get breakfast” text, you might hesitate to call him 37 times and finally resolve to show up at his front door to physically wake him up yourself for fear that he might think you’re crazy and obsessed with him and be left with no choice but to dump you.... He (her male bff) knows you are not crazy (and if you are, he loves you for it) and, although he might be a little peeved after the 37th phone call, he has no real choice but to make fun of you for being a psycho stalker and get over it.

The thing that truly stands out to me is that if you don't hold a girl to your set of values and expectations she will get away with whatever she can, just like a child. Regardless of Plate, ONS, or LTR, always hold her to your standards, and the moment she drops below those standards, dump her flat on her ass.
