How many of you guys are in LTRs?

Most of us. LTRs can be very rewarding and very tragic in the end if you mess up.

Oneitis is a different beast though. Very rough mental situation if you catch it. Its normal though.

Currently in an LTR, about 3 months now. My plate spinning game is expert level, but I much prefer a steady relationship (with a qualified woman, of course.) LTRs are also good for practising your long range game, rather than the short game required for plates, ONS, flings, etc. A good mix of both since I became sexually active has really made my overall game indestructible.

As a sidenote, I think men who are overly committed to either side (spin plates '4 lyfe bro!,' or those who bounce from LTR to LTR until marriage) are also barking up the wrong tree. A good run in each is VITAL for the social and sexually fluent man.

Here is a direct explanation of my situation which is now 1yr+

It's not my relationship, it's hers.

Thats all you get

I'm in an LTR. It's pretty good. They can definitely offer value if you manage it right.

I am in an OLTR (open on my end only), 4 years going. I avoid oneitis by spinning plates.

Edit : I'll add that I keep in mind the covert contract that she will stay around as long as I display value, and will Briffault the shit out of me if I fuck it up somehow. OTOH, she knows she has to keep it tight and drama-free to stay in my life.

I’ve never had a LTR and now I’m 26. Had a few one night stands. Does that look/seem funny ?

I generally have 1-2 "OLTRs" or "Open Long Term Relationships"
