Do you think it's a good idea to be a friend with benefits?

Question

Is it a good idea to be an fwb, do you think it's possible without anyone getting his or her feelings hurt?

Answer 1

It's a good idea for the guy but not for the girl. She essentially becomes his free prostitute. I wouldn't be interested in that job.

Answer 2

Get into balanced relationships with equals. Don't sell yourself or raise some one's pedestal higher than your own. Bless

Answer 3

usually the guy gets more benefits

than the girl

that doesn't sound quite right

Answer 4

It generally doesn't work. The girl usually ends up falling in love with the guy after having s*x with him, and then she gets dumped and hurt because eventually he won't want her around anymore as he chases new tail.

Or in the slim chance that the guy has more feelings than the girl, he will get hurt A LOT after she dumps him for some new hot stud.

NO ONE ever wins in this situation. Trust me.

Can you live with that? I doubt it. You sound like a nice person. Why don't you just date for fun, instead of doing the friends with benefits thing. You might meet an amazing person in the process that you want to commit to, and both of you will be much happier. Good luck.

Answer 5

i have tried to be fwb before and all of my experiences have never worked out...so it probably isnt the best idea idk tho u could give it a try tho if u think u could handle it
