Would you make a Friends With Benefits girl your serious girlfriend or wife? If woman has sex without being in those two categories do you lose respect for her sufficiently that she could never get in to them. Thanks for your answers. We need you ,Men IP: Logged |

I wouldn't, but that's just me. Typically, a guy has more than one FWB and gives the girls a number on the list (number one, two, three, etc). Well, the guys who are into FWB, that is.------------------ "To avoid criticism, say nothing, do nothing, be nothing." Aristotle IP: Logged |

I think Randall stated the average mans view. Of course, there are men who fall in love when they least expect it, be it FWB or not. ------------------ Submit to Love without thinking, as the sun rose this morning recklessly, extinguishing our star-candled minds. Rumi IP: Logged |

It would depend a lot upon her character.I'm not sure if I would like an FWB thing or not? How much friends is it Vs just sex? do you go on days out or holidays together or just meet for sex acts? IP: Logged |

So why is it most men think less of a woman they have sex with as a friend with benefits? I mean geez, takes two to tango and he is just as much part of the sex as she is. If one is having sex with someone they do not respect then hello! They are the low life in the set up if they are thinking they are all pure and moral but their sex buddy is not worthy of a more serious relationship as marriage. Geeez I detest fraking holier than though double standards. IP: Logged |

Since men were asked and I a women replied, I did refer to and agree to the double standard men set in their delusional world but oh! how I agree with lexx

I agree, with Lexx.Sometimes two people are just at the point in their lives where maybe they are just too busy or not emotionally ready to give to a full on relationship, so what should they do? Not have sex, ever? I mean, I guess some people feel that way, but I don't. And having a FWB is not saying that you meet someone at some skanky nightclub and go at it after knowing them for five minutes. I mean, you want this person to be someone that you like and respect and have an attraction for, personally, these type of relationships last longer and are better for ME than the other kinds, because these ones I actually think about before hand, and it's not some kind of big dramatic, emotional issue. Although it can TURN into that, but that's another story! IP: Logged |

You two need to talk I feel and really make it clear where each stands and whether it might become more serious. Personal query here: Have you had sexual relations with him already? Would this FWB be just you two as friends or would he go out and have sex with others? Personally I would not agree to any sex without doing a whole lot more serious talking firstly. You must have mutually agreed upon and clearly defined boundaries and limits. ------------------ ~I remember, therefore I am immortal~LEXX ~The present time is theirs, but the future is mine.~Никола Тесла ~"You have to be willing to give up the life you've planned for in order to live the life that's waiting for you." ~Joseph Campbell }><}}('>~ IP: Logged |

yes, we'v had sex before and as for the rest, i just havent asked him, but i wasnt sure if i should because technically, i'm still kind of new to relationships....i havent really had many and the ones i had were really short ------------------ I once saw a sign that said "sin is death" but if "all deaths are suicide (linda goodman)" and suicide is sin, then shouldnt "death is sin" be more appropriate? when organic is used to describe food then you know we have come to a dark age in history IP: Logged |

OK, so you have been sexually intimate before. If he is a good fellow, he will want to be honest with you and set mutually clearly defined rules for being FWBs and no double standards. IP: Logged |

thanks lexx...i dont think i would have been able to give him an answer without being confident without quality advice thanks everyone for your own stories and advice as well ------------------ I once saw a sign that said "sin is death" but if "all deaths are suicide (linda goodman)" and suicide is sin, then shouldnt "death is sin" be more appropriate? when organic is used to describe food then you know we have come to a dark age in history IP: Logged |

Nicky, I was just divorced when I had FWB that is now my husband. I was DEAD SET, 100% positive that I Did Not want it to be anything more than physical. I wrote a contract on looseleaf paper, and made him sign it! He carried it around in his wallet for years, until it fell apart, because he thought that was very funny for a girl to do.But, spending so much time together eventually led to me growing feelings for him, ALTHOUGH he had them first, and he did get HURT a few times when I stopped it to pursue other things, so it's something you gotta think about. The whether you can handle it or not, b/c there are no guarentees, and you don't want somebody to just be using you for the sake of using you. You know? Not saying that he is, but it happens in some cases.

There ya go. Mine is cappy. Earth sticks around, and well, you guys are BOTH fixed so you may be stuck and don't even know it yet! Do what your heart tells you to do. Even if it doesn't turn out in a marriage or whatever, at least you had the experience, and you will grow from it. IP: Logged |
