Hey Rollo

[guru1000]

I was out for a drink last night. This girl made a reference to spinning plates. She certainly didn't hear it from me.

Are those your PATENTED WORDS?

If they are, CONGRATs.

 

[azanon]

If so, does someone know how to update Wiki to include this?

 

[insidious]

I've used that reference several
times with people not privy to this
community or forum and they seemed
to know exactly what I meant

 

[Ingeniarius]

Just so you know, they also used that term in Sex and the City, do I don't think it's patent RT.

However, plate theory is probably one of his ideas.

 

[Colossus]

There are very few original ideas in this world.

BUT, plate theory, as articulated by RT, is genuine i believe.

I too have referenced spinning plates around others not privy to the DJ community and they knew the general idea of what i was refering to.

 

[ZenGodMod]

Aah, its becoming mainstream. We maybe able to change the world after all.

Good Job Rollo!

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

Spinning Plates isn't a new term.

Plate theory is my own. If your new girlfriends could tell you why it improves confidence then I'd take credit. Something tells me they couldn't.

I heard about "Plate theory" for the first time about 10 years ago, by a differnent name from a different guru. No diss to Rollo, but I think its a fairly common sense principle.

You're actually not dissing him in any way. No one disputes the concept has been around for ages. What we're (now) discussing is if the term Plate Theory, as used in this way, is his own.

 

[The Bat]

I think Rollo explained the real reasons behind spinning plates. I had heard variations of it before I came here and almost all of them said something to the extent of, "go after as many girls as possible". None of them really explained the logic behind spinning plates. After reading Rollo's reasoning, it made perfect sense.

Rollo deserves just as much credit for explaining the plate theory.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

In Plate Theory all I've done is pull apart the engine and put it back together again. It's very simplistic to just say Spin More Plates, but to know why it's important takes going into some detail.

 

[Latinoman]

I have given advice to people and have communicated some of the ideas provided by Rollo and others.

I have my Blitz State Theorem and I am sure people have gotten ideas from it (in fact, my theorem is a compilation of personal experience and also other people's ideas).

Having said that...years ago, I used to post in a popular Magazine's forum. One of the caveats they had in that Forum was that whatever you posted did not give you "copyrights". In another words, they could use it in their articles. I found a couple of articles in the hard copy version of the magazine that literally used a couple of my ideas. To the point that I was convinced the writer read some of my posts. I didn't care.

 

[MotownMack]

It's an old form of entertainment, similar to juggling, and an expression I have been hearing for years pretty much meaning the same thing as "multitasking".

 

[ElChoclo]

I thought Plate theory had something to do with tectonic movement of the earth's crust.

It is in common use in many disciplines. The economists tell us to "diversify our investments".
An engineering technique is "load sharing " in which several structures are employed to stabilize a load in order to provide strength and equilibrium. Same principles as PT.

 

[taiyuu_otoko]

It is in common use in many disciplines.

probably because alpha dudes have been diversifying their little tadpole investments since before language was invented.

Plate Theory is NOT about ƒucking as many women as possible. It's about the confidence that's derived from recognizing real options. Hitting it with multiple women can be a bonus, but it's not the end to the means.

The problem I have with it is if you really have options how were you able to successfully obtained those options without confidence in the first place. It just seems like a chicken and egg dilemma, where you see the effect and attribute it as the cause. So by reason you don't need multiple plates to have confidence, right? I think that's where me and Str8up stand on it. Where is that guy at anyway? He's propbably fcloseing girls and everyone ran him off so we're not going to hear about it.

 

[Jitterbug]

There are different levels of confidence. There's confidence that comes from knowing that you have the abilities to accomplish your goals, and there's confidence that comes from your successes.

I couldn't speak from personal experience with regard to Plate Theory progression. I have always had a natural talent.

However in other areas of life, "FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT" has worked wonders. As I expressed in another thread, when repeated behavior PRODUCES results, then true CONFIDENCE is realized.

In this sense, plate theory is essential to the novice. Its a numbers game. With tenacious application, the novice will eventually reap the benefits of RESULTS which will DEVELOP into a natural CONFIDENCE.

The problem as I previously addressed is that theories, ideas and concepts will not help the individual who does not apply it tenaciously. Perserverance of application is necessary for any theory to actualize.
