[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do I keep attracting women who want a serious relationship? I am 47, divorced, 2 kids and so far I have had to end 3 relationships that started as friend with benefits on OLD. They were 33, 39 and 48 and each relationship ended about 6 months after it started. I make it very clear from the start that I don’t want any more kids, I don’t want to remarry, I don’t want to live together, I just want us to hookup as needed. Yet each one was okay with this but slowly starting asking for more.

The only thing I can see is the issue is that while they were FWB relationships I nevertheless treated them with respect. I call them, text them, etc. To me that’s basic human relationship.  Yes I am passionate person, I hate interesting hobbies, I am a people person so perhaps I could be sending the wrong vibe…

Is there some kind of “algorithm” to find those women who don’t end up wanting more after initially agreeing to a purely sexual relationship?[/quote]

There are fundamental differences between men and women when it comes to causal relationships in my opinion. [b]Women are emotional creature. If they see a potential relationship out of a causal hookup they will give it a shot![/b][/quote]

Doesn't everyone who sees a potential relationship gives it a shot?[/quote]

Men don’t think like this. Many are happy to get sex from anonymous randos. The women could be nice and normal and relationship-worthy but if they are not looking for a relationship they are perfectly content to keep it to a FWB situation. [/quote]

Except OP doesn’t want sex with randos - he wants to freeze in time a status quo with someone he knows and trusts - no growth, no shifting or changing.  Nothing’s forever, including many marriages.  OP - 6 months seems to be a good run for what you’re looking for [/quote]
