There is a big difference between her making you wait a few dates while giving you some type of physical action (make out) and her making you wait with no sign of actually getting physical. Making you wait for a few dates and not getting to even 2nd base within those few dates is a bad sign. It means she might be stringing you along for ulterior motives (ego boost). But if she is putting out a little bit then thats good. I think most guys would be ok with that.
Definitely. Agree 100%. Sometimes they wait, just because they have principles...which, IMO, is a good thing.

If they're waiting because they're trying to use sex as a carrott then that's a bad thing.

It you're doing things right, it doesn't happen that often. Either way, usually you can tell the difference.

In my opinion, spinning plates is like training wheels to help you develop inner game (indifference, abundance mentality, depesdaslization, desperation, neediness, etc.) In a nutshell, it helps you to treat and view all women the same.
Spinning plates is a way to have sex without having to go through all the bull$hit of getting laid. Like I said before, it's like having a pseudo girlfriend, you hang out, get some drinks, watch a movie, get laid...then it's done. No ticky tack BS inbetween. You have fun together for a night, then it's over...till the next time.

I have spun plates in the past, but it wasn't quite right for me. The investment(sacrifice) to keep that plate spinning wasn't worth the steady sex. Almost like an open relationship. Then, sooner or later, the plate wants exclusivity and drops. You are back at square one, return on investment - zero.
Yes, they do fall off, just like you described. It's like a pipeline, it's good to have "prospects" ready to step in. Return on investment? WTF you talking about?? Once you get a secure plate the investment is almost nill! She's the one doing the investing. Back rubs, dinner at her place. You don't have to put any "effort" into it, that's the whole point!

As far as quality goes, they would have been the same if I were pursuing monogamy, plate spinning, ONS, SNL, FWB, etc. Nothing changes except for the end result.
I highly doubt this. I've had ONS's with girls that drove me home and I've had them drop me off a few houses down...just in case. The plates are the ones that have something extra. They're the ones that you can hang with and enjoy yourself. Tell stories, laugh....have a good time with....
then have sex. I didn't always feel this way but now it's fun. I like hanging out with them. They're chicks, they do chick $hit....it's humorous sometimes. It's all about how you look at it.

I'm a strong advocate for indifference, I preach it every opportunity I get =D
Being emotionally detached any situation allows you to logically pick the best/winning decision - whether it's life, love or dinner.
Indifference is good...to a point. IMO, you still
should be able to make a connection with some of these women.
What happens when you want to go see a movie that just came out? Who do you go with? Or there's a festival in your city and you want to go check it out? You don't think it would be nice to have a chick to call up to come hang out with you and view the sites?
Why not have sex with a girl you've become comfortable with? It's sex.
Why does it always have to be a new girl?
