Ever met a girl you were willing to drop your other plates for?

I'm wondering if you guys ever met women who were of such quality and with whom you had such great compatibility that it was worth it to drop your other plates/become exclusive?

Personally I'd like a family at some point, and I can imagine that it's likely impractical/unwise to still fuck around having young kids and would probably be willing to let go of other women.

However, that's probably 5 years away, assuming I meet the right woman.

I'm just cynical towards myself that I'll even be able to let go of the thrill of chasing tail/optionality when I arrive at that point. Because it is super addictive. I already have achieved financial independence at a very young age and pretty much the only things that are of interest/stimulate me now is being with my family/couple close friends doing cool shit, some intellectual pursuits and a significant part of my days is managing multiple women.

Guessing that quite a few veterans here have given up monogamy altogether precisely because of this & the fact that they have become so picky most women no longer qualify as anything more than plates.

Consider investing into a reliable ready reference you can pick up and study to better prepare yourself for engaging the opposite sex. I'd suggest that you get yourself a copy of Doc Love's "The System: The Dating Dictionary". Doc Love, who until his passing was also known as Tom Hodges, wrote a weekly advice column that's archive is mirrored on several mens focused sites and a podcast. His media is a bit pricey, but it's a solid foundation a guy can branch out from in RP aware circles. I'd suggest you review his advice column to decide if his view on dating and relationships is aligned with what you aspire for yourself. To save yourself a search, give this scribed link a gander to find out if his #book is something you'd like to add to your library. It should also be available on libgen.
