I’ve been on both sides. Had three long term LTRs as an adult and also done the whole spinning plates thing. There are advantages and disadvantages to each, but one thing that is certainly true for each is that spinning plates takes lots of time and $ unless you’re in a major city. It’s a time sink where you don’t always get a return. If you’re a big boy with a profession, kids, etc, that gets really hard to commit to unless you have no other hobbies. Don’t get me wrong, I still love the hunt, but I certainly don’t have the insatiable thirst for new pvssy like I did even five years ago as my life has changed since then professionally and personally.
I’d lean towards more LTR type guy - but here is the thing. No matter how tight your game or “maintaining frame” is, you give the woman power when in an LTR. Most men can’t just walk away at the drop of a hat (despite what some guys act like on here), and they will complicate your life in ways that take you away from your overall purpose. And women, no matter how “good” they are, over the grand course of time, will test you, start having less sex with you, and not care like they did when they were trying to lock you down. That’s my experience no matter how great it seems to start out as.
I think there’s a happy medium in there somewhere. Maybe frequent STRs or having a single really good plate that isn’t serious and wants the same thing. It’s always hard to say though. That’s why I put my eggs in my own basket and not into a woman’s.
