So, I have good success with women. Currently 4 active plates, a few other girls I can hit with booty calls, and I’m confident I can generate more plates.

Usually when I meet a new girl I’m only interested in smashing, but once in every 5-10 girls there will be one who seems like an LTR candidate. I never assume that they are unicorns or anything like that, just that they have potential for a practical LTR.

So I will vet them for (while still seeing other girls). But always, usually after just 3-4 dates, they will slip an incriminating evidence of AWALT which turns me off completely. It’s usually them admitting to riding the CC or doing some other gross things.

When it’s just plates, I don’t care. But when it’s a plate that seems like a promising candidate, I get this overwhelming, depressing feeling of disappointment.

Now I realize that the problem is me and giving these girls way too much credit. Probably because initially I believe what I want to believe about them, and then reality hits.

How do I fix this?
