I kind of understand the concept of plates - they're like a 'friend-with-benefits', and someone you're not in a serious relationship with, kind of like a booty call. That's how I understand it, I might be wrong, I've mostly been using the alpha/leader aspects of TRP and not so much the dating thing up until recently.

Wouldn't people consider this cheating though, and I'd be like a manwhore? I wouldn't be able to have an LTR and plates at the same time, I'm sure, would I? Do I just have to find various women individually who don't know each other so they're not like "You fucked him too?"

But how do you just go up to a girl and ask "Wanna fuck sometime?", hand her your number like the confident straightforward badass you are and see her reaction? That's how I imagine it happening, I could be wrong too. I know that was an exaggeration, but could that thing I mentioned above actually work, because it gives you the impression of being straightforward and confident?
