Yet usually the rule is you are not to have sex with others

No strings, no commitment, just friends who feel free to have sex with each other. It does not mean you can't have sex with someone else too.

I don't think you've experienced or clearly understand how a genuine physical relationship only, works.

a true FWB...isn't always only just physical.

your confusing a FWB with a plain F**k Buddy.

In a true FWB...it can be whatever they agree on.

It can be merely sex only and they don't have to be monogamous.
It can be sex only and it be monogamous.

Or they can be true friends with benefits and stay over the night or weekend, and go out to a movie and dinner....or go to the beach together....the casinos.

And just like a friend they can be there for each other, gifts on Holidays and whatever....and have limited feelings for each other.


Even be almost like casual boyfriend and girlfriend but without the title and expectation it will go any more than that.

Its whatever they both want and agree on....and some have lasted with the same person for several years.

they just don't want to heavy commitment and the type of feelings
that go with a tradition relation....but want the rest of it.

No dinners, no flowers, no meeting their stupid kids, no listening to their mindless ramblings, etc etc

I don't think you've experienced or clearly understand how a genuine physical relationship only, works.

FWB is just someone hiding the fact they really like the other person and this kind of thing usually turns out ugly.

Women would know more about this concept, than any man ever would.

Women want a career and a family, at the same time, while chanting how they don't "need no man", then wonder why we don't stick around.....

That's fine for someone of your tender years to say, Enig... but all men and women in the dating scene don't fit into the same basket.

Young women of today are more independent in their lifestyle choices and men their relative age accept that.

Older men have a tendency to seek out a woman of "old school" qualities but with modern day open-mindedness. Those qualities are rare and, on average, do not make for long term relationships.

Older women, who have been brought up with "old school" morals and values seek men who are easy to be around, mellow, gentleman who show care, compassion, and understanding because, they too, have a lifetime of experience under their belt and know what really matters in a relationship.

And some of those older women, myself included, are an elite class. We have survived in a male dominated workforce, raised our children to be contributing members of society, kept a household and obtained an education while satisfying a husband in his needs and wants from a wife.

An older woman, in this modern era dating environment, wants to laugh, have fun, flirt, and joke with all peoples, but at the end of the day she still wants a man to snuggle up with as they make each other happy.

A relationship is not a bip bam thank you mam adventure... it is a togetherness which cannot be explained until you have experienced it.

No dinners, no flowers, no meeting their stupid kids, no listening to their mindless ramblings, etc etc

I think different people who do FWB do so different ways. Some just have one person they are FWB with. Others have more than one FWB. But eirher way, there isn't a commitment. Just basically seeing each other for sex.
