Dude1: "Hey man, you just dating that one chick?"
Dude2: "Nah, I've got several hoes on the line, i'm spinning plates man!"
Dude2: "Nah, I've got several hoes on the line, i'm spinning plates man!"

"Spinning Plates" is the art of juggling multiple people you’re attracted to, keeping each one interested while trying to hold them all in your orbit.

Guy 2: "Yeah I'm talking to her and two of her friends"
Guy 3: "My guy, you are Spinning Plates for no reason"
