[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll answer this as a mom of a [b]24 y.o. man who is moving in with his girlfriend next month and basically views it as a trial run for marriage[/b]- you find a guy who is not afraid of commitment, who values marriage and who values you.  You don’t get yourself into “situationships”, you let them know early on that you are dating to marry, and if you scare some off - excellent, these are the men you are trying to avoid anyway.   [/quote]

This is the opposite of commitment.[/quote]

Yup. This is a FWB situation. [/quote]

What??? No way. Moving in with your partner is not what friends with benefits do. FWB means you don’t identify as boyfriend/girlfriend and are free to date other people. [/quote]

Getting free sex in your 20s benefits men more, not women. It is prime years for women to find a worthy spouse. She is wasting it by playing house with a man without the benefit of a ring. What trial run for marriage does this man need?  He already knows her character and if there are dealbreakers like promiscuity or addiction. Which obviously there are not.  What else does he need to know? Will he breakup with her if she is a lousy cook or a messy person or if she snores? SMH.

Good for the PP's son to arrange for a free hole for his pole, but, OMG, young women are sooooo fekking stupid!![/quote]

I think this is a disturbing way of looking at sex and I do believe there are men capable of viewing women as more than a “hole for their pole”. That said, I am not against premarital sex and don’t view sex as something I had to trade for marriage so I think I am coming at this from a different vantage point.

As someone who married in my mid 20s I dated men who were kind and respectful of me and got serious with someone who wanted to pursue the same things I wanted in terms of marriage and kids. We met at a friends holiday party. [/quote]
