Well if any women wanna be my fuck buddy, I’m open to being a buddy before any sex! Some guys just wanna dive in and run off out. It’s nice to have that connection and no attachments with someone.

I have to really like someone for sex to happen anyway. I can only find out if I like them by getting to know them.

I don't think I've ever told someone I'm their friend. When I talk to people they open up and we get on.

Everybody is looking for something

Some of them want to use you

Some of them want to get used by you

Some of them want to abuse you

Some of them want to be abused.

But not everyone is looking for the same something....

Fwb I’ve had the odd few but recently had one where we were getting feelings for each other and for me it’s hard not to when you spend time together quite abit and constantly fucking the same person you grow feelings but it’s very tough pulling away from it but I’ve learned it’s all about your mindset.

Would you continue to pull away though if you both felt it, and why

Some of them do. When I allow men to message me I talk to the ones I like the look of. If they don't want to talk, to get to know me, I lose interest very quickly.

Yes you have to but then again it all depends on people’s circumstances etc and believe u me it’s not easy because like I said you start getting feelings etc it’s obvious that it’s gonna go like that but you just gotta learn to switch off

I didn't read all of the opening post, just the first paragraph and thought from that that what the OP wes describing was a fuck buddy not a friends with benefits so the post title is misleading in my humble opinion.

Fuck buddy = meeting for sex on a repeat basis for as long as it suits both people but no real connection apart from chemisty and fulfilling a sexual need. I would feel used in that type of scenario, but I understand it works for some.

Friends with benefits = a friendship with shared interests, happy to sociaiise together and get on with each other on more than a sexual level, chemistry is there, and sex is the icing on the cake. I can see why some prefer this type of scenario as hopefully there's enough respect there for each other to make it work to suit both parties.

The problems arise when one person thinks they have a friendship but the other one just thinks of them as a fuck.

Most do I my experience. One wanted exclusive, constantly let me down and just wanted the odd hookup. I gave him 3 chances, now I only give 1 chance.

Which can happen very easily as the more you see each other and sleep together you can’t help but to gain feelings for each other but a serious fwb would switch off to it.

To me, you are describing a FB arrangement, not an Fwb one OP. An fwb, does care. They are emotionally supportive, just like a friend in general would be. You just happen to sleep together too

--------------------

Absolutely agree with your post. There's so much difference between an FB and FWB arrangement. Hurt can arise when people confuse the two. I don't think I could get into either arrangement so it's celibacy for me until I meet the right man... I'm not holding my breath.

Think guys can do the whole fuck buddy fwb type scenario better than women.

I don't speak for all women but I know that if I'm sleeping with the same guy and only talking to the same guy and spending time with the same guy, I'm going to develop feelings for him. I'm not going to want him to be speaking to other women (in a romantic/sexual capacity) and certainly not meeting other women.

When I was dating there were two types of relationship before people settled down with one person. Casual where you knew it wasn't going anywhere but it was ok while it lasted and serious where you wanted it to lead to long term. It wasn't always the case that both people saw the relationship in the same terms and people got used for sex and lied to just like they do now. However it was generally accepted that this wasn't a great way to behave. Nowadays it seems to me that you can label a relationship differently and blame the hurt person for being hurt.
