Hello my dear brethren,

today I come before your - the RP swarm mind - to ask a question.

To avoid any hamstering I just ask for your objective opinion.

We all know that vacations of a plate alone are a deal-breaker. We all know the "we are just friends" gas-lighting. We all know the things in the 50-100% black zone.

My question is: Consider your plate which you want to upgrade to a LTR is having a hobby. Assume this hobby involves time away usually one or two days once, twice or thrice a year with other people men and women. This comes as a logical consequence with the hobby and is not a spontaneous decision. Most men there are by definition betas, this once again is a consequence of the hobby. What is your take on that?

My gut tells me to be patient and to game other women and let her down easily. My sanity and my SMV (85k self-employed, 13 % bf, desired by others of lower or equal SMV) tell me to be ok with it but to be very careful.

So. Opinions on how to handle a grey area.
